Julius Caesar Performance Assessment

Act 4, Scene 3, Lines: 1-38

Cassius: That you have wrong'd me doth appear in this:

You have condemn'd an notes Lucius Pella

For taking bribes here of the Sardians;

Wherein my letters, praying on his side,

Because I knew the man was slighted off.

Brutus: You have wrong'd yourself to write in such a case.

Cassius: In such a time as this it is not meet

That every nice offence should bear his comment.

Brutus: Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself

Are much condemn'd to have an itching palm,
To sell and mart your officers for gold
To undeservers.

Cassius: I an itching palm!
You know that you are Brutus that speaks this,
Or, by the gods, this speech will be your last.

Brutus: The name of Cassius honours this corruption,
And chastisement doth therefore hide his head.

Cassius: Chastisement!

Brutus: Remember March, the ides of March remember.
Did not great Julius bleed for justice' sake?
What villian touch'd his body, that did stab,
And not for justice? What, shall one of us,
That struck the foremost man of all this world
But for supporting robbers, shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honours
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon,
Than such a Roman

Cassius: Brutus, bait not me;
I'll not endure it. You forget yourself,
To hedge me in. I am a soldier, I,
Older in practice, abler than yourself
To make conditions.

Brutus: Go to! you are not, Cassius.

Cassius: I am

Brutus: I say you are not.

Cassius: Urge me no more, I shall forget myself;
Have mind upon your health; tempt me no farther.

Brutus: Away, slight man!

Cassius: Is't possible?

Brutus and Cassius are in Brutus' tent, discussing during the war against Antony and his followers. Cassius sold his soldiers to get money, and Brutus believed that this was a dishonorable act. The two get into an argument, Brutus trying to stay calm, and Cassius yelling at him with anger. This passage shows how they struggled in the war, and how a conflict was starting to form between them.

The Lottery Story - Band

1) The black dot, because it makes the reader ask questions like "what is the black dot? is it something good or bad?"

2)I thought Ms Hutchinsen was going to get kicked out of the village, because she said "it isn't fair", and also in the beginning of the story, it said that there are only 300 people in the village

3)I was really curious what was going to happen, and why was Ms. Hutchinsen shocked

4)I really wanted to know what was inside the paper and I knew that it was the end of the story, because the teachers told us. I was tempted to open it before it was 5:00pm, but I didn't because it was part of the assignment

5) Black and white are 2 contrasting colours, so I thought it was something important in the story

6)I was shocked, because I didn't think that they will stone her to death. I was sort of confused, because why would a village want to kill someone?

7)My prediction was sort of correct. I knew that the black dot was something bad, because when they saw the black dot, the mood suddenly became creepy and silent

8)It would have helped if we the author gave us more details in the story, like more background information of the village

9) The author left these voids in the story, because maybe she or he wanted to create more mood and tension, and catch the reader's attention

10)a. There was no title, so I had no idea what the story was going to be about.

b. It made me curious about what was going to happen at the end

c. It made me try to guess all the possible endings

d. I wanted to open it, because I wanted to know how the author ended the story

e. It made me more curious about the ending

f.
