Caesar or Rome?

As Brutus I would have chosen to fight for the freedom of Rome, since Julius Caesar has to much power and is not likely to use for the benefit of Rome. Also as the book states on Act 1 scene 2 Brutus says "If it be aught towards the general good, set honor on one eye and death i' the other" (If what you have in mind concerns the good of Rome. I would face honor or death to do what must be done) this shows that Brutus is willing to put himself in danger to defend the rights of Rome and their people. Brutus also says that the "abuse of greatness is when disjoins remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar, I have not known when his Affections swayed more than his reason. But this common proof that lowliness is young ambitions;s ladder" meaning that he belives Caesar will rule with his head rather than his love for Rome and its people.

Imperilism Summary

Imperialism used similar methods to concur less developed countries most of them were either violently, by using force and just taking over without a warning or through lieing and plotting, were they promised things that they weren't going to do/give or that were impossible.

In most cases imperialism brought civilization to undeveloped countries, they introduced previously unknown technology to countries in Africa, South America and even southern Asia. Telegraphs, telephones, dams and bridges were among the few of the things introduced by the British and other countries. Also the cheap labor .

I think I improved my writing skills but there is still space for improvement and I still think I should push myself to reach that.

I wish that I could contribute more in class when in discussions by raising my hand up.

One of the biggest aspects i need to improve on are my study skills at home, maybe to improve them I should get a partner to study with on weekends or after school.
