And fear the time when the strikes stop while the great owners live—for every little beaten strike is proof that the step is being taken.” | Pg.151 | This is one of my favorite quotes from the book. It was odd at first that Steinbeck started giving war a positive light, however after reading it over I completely agreed with the quote. Man is constantly moving forward step by step. This also reminded me of how in the book Tom was just trying to put “one foot in front of the other” so that he could deal with his situation. Men always advance and as they do, it can be a struggle so it is almost like everyone is just stumbling
I couldn’t imagine devoting most of my life to building a dome. I was amazed he never quit with all the mishaps that happened with the marble and just after working on it for so long that that was all he did eat sleep and breath the dome. Filippo was very cunning and funny with all the pranks he played on people. For instance his greatest rival was Lorenzo Ghiberti and they had to work together on the dome and to prove he was superior to him, Filippo pretended to be dying so Lorenzo had to be in charge of the project. Once Lorenzo messed up Filippo came back and fixed everything and embarrassed
He wanted to let the crowd know that he loved Caesar, but he simply loved Rome much more, “Just as I killed my best friend for the good of Rome, so will I kill myself when my country requires my death.” (3,2 pg.129). After he says this, Brutus had full control of the crowd because the crowd wanted him to live when he said he would die for Rome. Brutus makes it clear that it wasn’t his desire to kill
Before this quote was said Caesar was killed. Mark Antony, who is a very good friend with caesar, came to see what had happened. He talked to Caesar’s killers and shook each of their hands. He wanted to get on their good side so they didn’t kill him and so it would be easier for him to plan his revenge. Antony then said that he did that in friendship and loved them all.
Crossfit is a brand new and up and coming competition. So this product really targets men who want to do this competition as well. The value proposition and/or image in the consumers mind are that this product will help them get in shape. They can get in shape and become an athlete like 2011-2012 Crossfit Champion. This can also give consumers an image that anything is possible if they use this product like Rich Froning does.
Here Brutus illustrates his love Rome, “not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more” (citation). Brutus explains to the crowd that he did love Caesar, but he loved Rome more and he had slain Caesar because he thought it would be for the better of Rome. Not only did these men use much emotion and logic in their eulogies, but they also use ethnical reasoning
Tori Who’s Most Responsible ? Romeo and Juliet Although Romeo and Juliet killed them selves, Friar Lawrence was the most responsible for their deaths. Friar Lawrence was the church priest and Romeo and Juliet looked to him for for all their problems. He might have been seen as a small role in the play but, he was a big part of all the decisions made my Romeo and Juliet. Even though he helped them be with each other, he just caused more problems.
He could feel like he’s in unequal marriage, where George has all the responsibilities. Curley’s Wife is definitely no happy and very lonely since she is living in her father-in-laws house. She thinks she has missed her opportunities in life by living with Curley and a ‘band of lonely men’. She even tries to get a bit of companionship by flirting and talking with the men on the ranch but when she does is comes back on her horribly. No one on the ranch can get the key to not being lonely; the men on the ranch use all their money on the brothel every Saturday night but it doesn’t stop them being lonely, Lennie and George think that having their own place would solve ‘everything’.
He made sure to put on a façade which would lead the King’s men to believe he was still a respectful and loyal man. He even went as far as killing another man to show his respect for the king and his (fake) anger about the king’s murder. Macbeth made quite a transition between the first two scenes of the play. Power was the catalyst for the change from a loyal to greedy man. People will do many things to claim power.
Some may ask, "Is Caesar a hero, or just an ignorant tyrant?" others ask "Were Brutus' intentions as pure as we thought?" I think in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare revealed the major character flaws of each individual in this play. As an example, Brutus loved Rome with a passion. But his love for Rome caused him to do something that not many other people would ever dream of doing.
