Six months and countless hours of practice and it is about to be finally over. It's time for the Annual
Piano State Competition.
I was so nervous for this morning's competition. Today is the day that I will compete with other 7th
and 8th graders in the KMTA Piano Kansas State Competition. "Melody, make sure you go over the
spots that you need to work on", Mom said, throwing off my concentration. "Okay, I'll get to it in 10

wasn't so sure about getting first place or even second this year. Last year was an easy group to
compete against. However, I still felt confident that I could pull off an Honorable Mention medal.
Too bad we have to drive all the way to KU in Lawrence for the competition. The Royals at least

that she was a pure mastermind. Emily Dickinson's Poem 732 shows an actual marriage in which a
woman gives up the casual play of girlhood for the honorable status of wife. She also talks about

The video I chose to watch was "The Wounded Platoon". The population related to this video that
faces difficulties in terms of access to health care are United States veterans. This video specifically
mentions veterans of the Third Platoon, who were deployed to fight during the Iraq War. One
overarching difficulty this population has in terms of access to health care is a lack of wanting to
come forward. One soldier stated that those who came forward with symptoms of Post–Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) feared ridicule. PTSD is very stigmatized, especially in the military, where
it is stated that coming forward with symptoms of PTSD could be considered "a sign of weakness".
Many veterans claimed they did not need help and reported no mental duress. However, it was
shown that many of these veterans were self–medicating. It was stated that there was an over three

21. Examples Of Leadership In Julius Caesar
Mark Antony's Leadership A leader's actions should motivate and inspire the group that they are
leading. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, depicts many strong and very
different portrayals of leadership. One of the leaders, Mark Antony, is a great friend and advisor to
Julius Caesar. Antony must deal with the aftermath of Caesar's murder for his own sake and for his
country's sake. Mark Antony's strong rhetoric and persuasive speech allow him to be an effective
leader. Antony is eloquent and very strong at convincing people to follow his lead. After Caesar
death, Antony tells Brutus that he wants to "Produce [Caesar's] body to the marketplace, / And in
pulpit, as becomes a friend, / Speak in the order of his funeral" ... Show more content on

Antony's sly words convince Brutus that him speaking at Caesar's funeral will benefit everyone.
Antony's language persuades the person who murdered his greatest ally, to have complete faith in
him. This characteristic of leadership demonstrates Antony's ability to meet his personal goals using
his dynamic speech skills. Brutus speaks before Caesar's funeral and mentions that Caesar was
ambitious. After Brutus' speech, Antony makes an even better speech that refutes all of Brutus'
points. Antony states that Caesar could not be ambitious because Caesar brought home wealth to
Rome, cried for the citizens, and that Caesar refused the crown three times. Antony cries after the
speech, and tells that citizens that "judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts" (Shakespeare 83).
When Antony mentions this to the crowd, he causes the whole crowd to rethink their decision to
follow Brutus. Antony uses his words to convey to the crowd that Brutus could not possibly be
correct. Antony, crying after his speech, makes the Romans pity him and believe strongly in his
words. He furthers his cause by promoting to the crowd that they are a part of Caesar's will. Antony

29. Julius Caesar Rhetorical Analysis Essay
Mark Antony, speaking at Julius Caesar's funeral, attempts to undermine the conspirators that killed
Caesar and convince the belligerent crowd of Caesar's innocence. Antony appeals to the Roman
citizens' senses of ethos, pathos, and logos to disprove Brutus', Cassius' and the other killers'
innocence. Antony fights to secure justice for Caesar as he condemns the conspirators to the
consequences of the crowd's newfound anger. Mark Antony appeals to the Romans' sense of ethos to
establish himself in their eyes as a noble man, and to surreptitiously separate the conspirators' from
their lofty reputations. Specifically, Antony mentions that he has the power to "do Brutus wrong and
Cassius wrong, who, you know, are honourable men", but he "will ... Show more content on

Antony uses repetition to impair Brutus' credibility. Anthony says in the beginning of the speech that
"The noble Brutus/Hath told you Caesar was ambitious./If it were so, it was a grievous fault,/And
grievously hath Caesar answered it" (III, ii, 76–79). Antony continues to call Brutus honorable, and
brings attention to his claim of Caesar's ambition. This seems counterproductive, until Anthony
consecutively disproves Brutus's claim, bringing up examples of Caesar's selflessness. The plebeians
respond to this logic and begin to sympathize with Caesar. Antony uses repetition again, to put
blame on the conspirators for killing Caesar. Antony pleads with the crowd, saying that Caesar "is
himself, marr'd, as you see, with traitors./Let not a traitor live!" (III, ii, 191–193). As Antony calls
the conspirators traitors, the crowd is forced to think of them as common criminals, who should be
punished according to the Roman law code. Hearing this, the crowd falls into a mutinous rage,
calling for the death of the traitors. It is in this moment that Antony has true control of the people,

33. Rhetorical Analysis Of Antony's Speech
Antony gave the most effective funeral speech to thoroughly convince the Roman people to side
with him and rebel against the conspirators. In order to accomplish this, Antony uses the persuasive
techniques logos, ethos, and pathos.
To start his speech, Antony opens with some kind words about Caesar. Antony uses ethos by
speaking kindly of Caesar and saying, "He was my friend, he was faithful and just to me" (line 81).
Antony appears to be a honest and humble man mourning for his friend. By saying "Brutus is an
honorable man" (line 83), Antony places himself on the crowd's side because up to this point the
crowd is in favor of Brutus. Antony has made himself seem more trustworthy which also utilizes
ethos. He then continues to speak of Caesar's great deeds that do not support Brutus's claim of
Caesar's ambition. For example, Antony tells of Caesar saying, "He brought many captives home to
Rome whose ransoms brought wealth to the city" (line 83). This is all Brutus wants Antony to say
but Antony continues and asks the crowd, "Is this the work of an ambitious man" (line 89)? Antony
is using logos to influence the Roman people because he provides a counterexample to the claims of
Caesar's ambition. Furthermore, Antony places doubt in Brutus by saying, "Yet Brutus says he was
ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man" (lines 91–92). This use of logos allows Antony to prove
Brutus wrong, even if he does not say it out loud.

37. Caesar Tragic Hero
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar By William Shakespeare, is a great play, where a group of conspirators
plot to kill Julius Caesar. Marcus Brutus, one of his closest friends, is apart of this conspiracy. Once
they follow through with their plan and kill Caesar, the people of Rome go against the conspirators,
starting a war between Octavius and Antony, who are Caesar's followers, and Brutus and Cassius.
Throughout all of Shakespeare's plays, he has a "tragic hero." This person is usually the main
character in his plays. The person who best fits the role of a tragic hero would be Marcus Brutus.
But exactly why is this? Shakespeare describes a tragic hero by "A person, usually of noble birth,
who suffers a catastrophe". Marcus Brutus has a noble ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Everyone loved him and followed him. During the funeral of Caesar, Antony says, " Here, under
leave of Brutus and the rest/ (For Brutus is an honorable man,/So they are all honorable men) "
(Shakespeare III . II . 82–84). This is not the only time when Antony mentions Brutus as honorable,
many times throughout his speech at the funeral he mentions it. Even though he says it, he is being
sarcastic. He says this because he thinks the only reason Brutus killed Caesar was for his own
personal gain. He wanted to ruin Brutus's honor, which he easily accomplished due to the fact that
the Plebeians are easily swayed. One would not think that honor is much of anything, but to Brutus,
honor was everything. " For let the gods so speed me, as I love / The name of honor more than I fear
death." (Shakespeare I . II . 88–89). This is what Brutus says while talking with Cassius in the
beginning of the play. This makes it clear to the reader that honor means everything to Brutus. The
reason Brutus lost his honor is because when Antony was speaking at the funeral he made the
conspirators look bad and he made the Plebeians believe that they killed Caesar not out of honor for
Rome, but out of greed and their own personal gain. This is true for all of the conspirators except for
Brutus who honestly killed caesar out

45. Is Julius Caesar Honorable
Thousands of memorable and remarkable speeches have been given throughout history, from Jay
Silveria at the U.S. Air Force Academy to Meryl Streep at the Oscars. Among those includes Mark
Antony's famous speech in William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. This
unforgettable speech takes place at Caesar's funeral where Antony turns a bewildered, aghast crowd
of mourners into enraged rioters using Caesar's will, Caesars' body, and the word honorable. Mark
Antony uses Caesar's will to ignite a fire within the Roman people. Halfway through Antony's
speech, he showed the crowd Caesar's will and said, "...I must not read it; / It is not meet you know
how Caesar loved you." (3.2.139–140). Antony uses reverse psychology by telling the crowd he will
not read the will aloud, to make the Romans want to hear what the will says. "It will inflame you, it
will make you mad: / 'Tis good you know not that you are his heirs;" (3.2.143–144). Antony subtly
mentions the fact that they are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
"For Brutus is an honorable man;/So are they all, all honorable men––" (3.2.81–82). Antony refers
to Brutus and the rest of the conspirators as honorable because he can not say anything bad about the
conspirators due to his deal with Brutus. "Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; / And Brutus is an
honorable man." (3.2.96–97) Antony tells the crowd that Brutus believed Caesar was ambitious and
Brutus is a trustworthy man. By doing this, Antony is leaving the crowd questioning if they believe
Brutus or not. Then, Antony showed the crowd deceased Caesar and his wounds. He pointed to each
wound and would label it with the name of an individual conspirator to make the experience more
personal and heart wrenching. Antony went into detail of the assassination, which made the crowd
weep for Caesar. At this moment, Antony says, "They that have done this deed are honorable:"

49. Wilfred Owen's 'Dulce Et Decorum Est'
The Horrors of War: An Explication of Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est"
Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori; it is sweet and honorable to die for one's country. Wilfred
Owen is just one of many to be told this lie. Owen himself had seen the horrors of war during his
time serving in World War I and explains to the readers just how horrid it truly is in his poem "Dulce
et Decorum Est." He creates the mental image of the pain and suffering he and so many other
soldiers had to experience on the battlefield. His poem creates the central idea that there is no
sweetness or honor in dying in war.
First of all, the first stanza shows the pain the soldiers endured. Owen says, "knock–kneed, coughing
like hags, we cursed through sludge" (line 2). Owen uses a simile here to show that they were
having violent coughing fits due to the toxic materials. This goes along with what he mentions as
"sludge," which is all the vile toxins around them tearing the soldiers lungs apart. In addition, Owen
specifically mentions "the haunting flares," showing the emotional toll that war can have (line 3). He
uses personification to give the flares (rockets) the attribute of ... Show more content on

Owen describes it as a scene of great panic and a rush as everyone struggles to get his or her gas
mask on. He shows in gruesome detail the fate of those not fortunate enough to save themselves,
"but someone still was yelling out and stumbling / and flound'ring like a man on fire" (line 11–12).
His use of a simile is comparing the reaction of the man who was exposed to the gas to that of one
who is on fire. He draws this comparison to show the burning, scarring pain that one has to endure
through the horrors of war. After seeing someone doomed to such a fate, one can not simply unsee
it; it is destined to remain in one's dreams for life. This does not seem like the glorious death that is

57. Julius Caesar Essay: Marc Antony’s Power of Persuasion
Marc Antony's Power of Persuasion in Julius Caesar
In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, although Marc Antony is allowed to make a speech at
Caesar's funeral, he must not speak ill of either the conspirators or Caesar. Antony was infuriated
with Caesar's assassination, and wants to seek revenge on his killers as well as gain power for
himself in Rome's government. He must persuade the crowd that has gathered that Caesar's murder
was unjust, and turn them against Brutus and Cassius. He tries to stir his listeners' anger, rousing
them into action and yet say nothing bad about his enemies. Marc Antony uses several persuasive
devices in his speech, which allows him to successfully convince the citizens of Rome to turn ...
Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Because Antony cannot speak negatively about the conspirators, he uses verbal irony and repetition
in his speech to say one thing, but make the audience believe the opposite. The tone of voice he uses
in his speech is one indication that he does not mean what he says. When Antony calls Brutus and
Cassius "honorable men," he uses a sarcastic tone to show that they were actually not very
honorable. Again and again he repeats the phrase "honorable men," and each time the irony is more
powerful. Antony connects the audience's new belief that Cassius and Brutus were not honorable to
his message that they should not mutiny. He says, "O masters, if I were disposed to stir/Your hearts
and minds to mutiny and rage,/I should do Brutus wrong and Cassius wrong,/Who (you all know)
are honorable men" (III.ii.133–136). The crowd thinks that the conspirators were not honorable,
therefore they believe that mutiny would be acceptable. To gain the full effect, Antony repeats that
the crowd should not mutiny five times, so they lose the main point of his message, and only
remember from the indignation in his voice that mutiny is a possible solution.
Antony appeals to his audience's emotions: horror, sadness and anger, to persuade them to his view.
Antony enters with Caesar's body and shows his lamentation over his death, which reminds the
plebeians what a horrible deed Brutus committed.

"And to speak truth of Caesar, I have not known when his affections swayed more than his reason.
But 'tis a common proof that lowliness is a young ambition's ladder, whereto the climber upward
turns his face. But when he once attains the upmost round,he then unto the ladder turns his back,
looks to the clouds, scorning the base degrees by which he did ascend.(II,i,19–27)" In this part of his
soliloquy, Brutus is convincing himself that Caesar is going to climb the ladder of ambition and
become a tyrant. He doesn't give valid facts to prove this, just the possibility. Brutus doesn't trust the
leader of the conspiracy, Cassius, but joins him anyway. Even though he doesn't trust him, he let's
himself be flattered and tricked by Cassius. Brutus says he trusts Caesar and that he is his friend. If
that was true he wouldn't have to kill him. Also, Brutus says he will do anything for honor, and the
conspirators say that they are doing an honorable thing yet they hide in the shadows.
Brutus is very good at persuading people; he convinced himself to kill his best friend. He doesn't

65. Informative Speech Julius Caesar's Speech
Ever wondered what it took to gain the support of a crowd? All that is required is an extremely
compelling speech. In Shakespeare's tragedy, "Julius Caesar," it begins with several men conspiring
to kill Caesar because they were afraid he would become too powerful and turn against them. In the
third act, the Conspirators had successfully killed him, held a public funeral to show the people what
they had done, and allowed a man named Mark Antony to speak but under certain conditions.
Antony fully understood that he would have to carefully craft every sentence using Faulty
Syllogism, Pathos, Ethos, and False Humility to grab at the citizens heart strings while still staying
within the Conspirators' boundaries. Mark Antony was speaking to a vast crowd of distressed people
all attending Julius Caesar's funeral, and were already believing everything Caesar's killers had told
them . One of the killers named Brutus, a once trusted friend of the recently deceased Caesar, had
allowed Antony to speak to the people as long as he, "... come to bury Caesar, not to praise him"
(I.ii. 71) and remind them that he had been permitted by Brutus to speak. Antony had hoped that by
making this speech, he may be able to convince the crowd that their slain ruler was a good man who
had died for no true reason other than other men's fear. The crowd begins slightly hostile, but is
easily persuaded in Antony's favor.
The speech began using strong Logos, specifically Faulty Syllogism. Antony starts by stating that,
"Brutus is an honorable man; So are they all, all honorable men," (I.ii. 78–79) and that whatever this
honorable man says must be true. Except, he says it all very ironically. "[Caesar] was my friend,
faithful and just to me; But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man." (I.ii.
82–84) And if he is so honorable, then why would he lie, except to cover up what they did. Antony
continues to tell the people these caring things Caesar had done, and following it by asking them,
"Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?"(I.ii.87) As said in Joseph Romm's book Language
Intelligence, "Repetition, the re–experiencing of something identical, is clearly in itself a source of

69. How Does Beowulf Show Courage
Beowulf was a valiant, courageous, honorable warrior. Beowulf, who is the main character in the
epic poem "Beowulf", was widely known to possess highly sought after traits. For examples, we
will use his strength, nobility, and perseverance that he displays every day of his life. However, we
are going to focus on his other personality traits of honor, bravery, and courage in this very
informative essay. First, let us look at Beowulf's honor. There is no question that his honor lust is
earmarked in every single one of his actions. Every act he committed was contemplated and
examined to be performed in the most honorable way possible. Much like the Japanese society in
today's modern day and age, his decisions always were thought out to have some kind of honor.
Referencing to lines 265 through 269, he remarks how Higlac, his uncle and king, would think less
of him had he used a shield and sword in the battle with an unarmed monster. Sure, this may seem

Courage, by definition, is "The ability to do something that frightens one's self". This, may sound an
awful lot like Bravery, the last topic that we had discussed. However, courage and bravery is not the
same thing, just very similar. I will first reference lines 113 and 114, where Beowulf declared that a
boat shall be outfitted for the trip from Geatland to Denmark, in order to assist the Danes with their
plight. This single action alone launched us into the world of Beowulf, letting us see. Perhaps, if that
is not convincing, we should look at lines 370 through 374, where Beowulf and his men stood, ready
to fight, and die for their beliefs. Concluding this segment, we shall look at lines 465 through 466,
where, despite being an elderly man who had ruled Geatland for fifty years, stood his ground of

73. Character Analysis Of Julius Caesar
Imagine being stabbed to death by people you thought were your friends yet still having people
worship you even after death. Julius Caesar was loved by many and hated by few. Those few
happened to be his "companions". The conspirators were Brutus, Cassius, and Casca. Brutus for
example hated the fact that the Romans worshiped him so much. He believed that he had no real
personal reason to attack Caesar other than doing it for the general welfare. It was 23 stabbings to
his body that ultimately killed Caesar. In " Are we evaluating political candidates all wrong?"
Claudio Fernandez–Araoz says that a leader should always have "openness to change", "capacity for
growth", and "willingness to surround themselves with the best". Shakespeare makes sure that Julius
Caesar demonstrates these specific leadership traits in the play. He puts him in difficult positions
and shows how Caesar manages to do things for the good of the people. He also makes sure to
mention Caesar's rhetorical ways.
Part 1: Caesar the Leader
First of all, Caesar was a man who the romans seen as fit to rule over them, they practically
worshiped the ground he walked on. He demonstrated "openness to change", this shows how he is
able to adapt to his own new decision making during a time of unexpected events. For example,
Caesar goes and to war with the forces of Pompey without knowing for sure if he'd win or not. He
did in fact defeat the forces of Pompey and was then able to take full control of Rome; he adapted

The slaying of Vali cannot be justified, because Rama was not following his dharma. The way in
which Vali was killed was not a honorable way. Vali in his dying state asked Rama "how could you ,
protector of all creatures, aim your shaft from your hiding place, like some mean hunter tracking a
wild beast, instead of facing me in a fight – if you felt that I deserved that honor?"(103). The honor
that Vali mentions is his intelligence and his ability to tell right from wrong and if Rama was to kill
him he should have come out to face him and killed him in an honorable light not in hiding. Rama
was biased and blinded by the thought of retrieving his wife. "To redeem her and to wreak your

81. Was Julius Caesar Honorable
Entrails of the Roman Empire An honorable man has fairness and integrity in his actions, most fake
honorability, only a select few have it. An honorable man wouldn't kill another out of jealously. In
the play The Tragedy Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar the leader of Rome, is
assassinated by a group of conspirators. These conspirators are a group made up of the people in the
senate, had their power taken away from the last dictator. Foolishly they take Ceasar as another
dictator and tried to fix the problem before it even happened. However, they were wrong about poor
Caesar, he was a honorable man that didn't deserve to die because he was good to the citizens of
Rome, he wasn't in it for the power, and he supported them when needed. Normally dictators are out
for themselves for the power and the glory, Ceasar a honorable man wouldn't never stoop this low
because he loved Rome too much. For example a selfish man would not have a will that gave"To

During Marc Antony's speech he mentions how the citizens "[saw] that on the Lupercal –I thrice
presented him a kingly crown–Which he did thrice refuse"(Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 1639–1641). Julius
Ceasar is a strong man that doesn't want to be corrupted by the power of a crown. This shows that
Ceasar wasn't in it for the power,and therefore didn't need to be put down. Even Cassius, one of
conspirators agreed that Ceasar "would not be a wolf–But that he sees the Romans are but sheep;–
He were no lion, were not Romans hinds"(Act 1,Scene 3, Lines 532–534). Even the ones who say
Ceasar is a tyrant don't agree with that statement. Ceasar would only be a tyrant because the people
wanted him to be, he would never do it on his own behalf. Power is a dangerous thing to play with,

85. Examples Of Greed In Julius Caesar
"An Honorable Man": Greed vs. Honorability Honor is a word defined as "worthy of high respect".
In "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare, honorability is one of the driving forces of the play's
central plot. From the murder plot to the incriminating funeral speeches, honorability is lost,
questioned, and acted upon for the majority of the plot. When it comes to the question of who is the
most honorable man between Marc Antony and Marcus Brutus, the answer is not immediately clear.
Through the first two acts, as these men develop, grow, and change their ways of thinking, both men
seem to be equally valid candidates. Acts three through five are when their true colors begin to
emerge, and like a butterfly from its cocoon, their inner thoughts and motives are exposed. Then, the
true answer becomes clear: Brutus is the more honorable man. Why is this? He thinks of others
before himself when it comes to making ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Before he agrees to join the conspiracy against Caesar, Brutus is seen having an internal conflict
with himself over whether this would be the moral thing to do or not. He says: "It must be by his
death, and for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at him But for the general." (2.1.10–12)
These lines indicate that while Brutus himself had nothing against Caesar, and had no reason to
personally want to kill him, he is doing it for the sake of the Roman people, as he believes that they
are in danger of what Caesar might become when he is crowned. Further, this shows that Brutus is a
selfless man who thinks of the sake of the public before his own personal gain. Later, when he
receives the forged letters written by Cassius to persuade him to join the conspirators, he says: "Am
I entreated To speak and strike? O Rome, I make thee promise, If the redress will follow, thou
receivest Thy full petition at the hand of Brutus!"

was a common practice between the twelfth and nineteenth century, which explains why this

93. Julius Caesar Rhetorical Analysis
Words can sway opinions like the tides of an ocean. Rhetoric is an extremely important tool in
modern politics and it has been for hundreds of years. Although modern society may think of
rhetoric as a way to spread propaganda, in reality rhetoric is just a tool for effective communication.
In Shakespeare's, Julius Caesar, the entire play revolves around the effective use of persuasion.
Mark Antony is a rhetorical mastermind who exploits his audience using logos and pathos, making
him the most persuasive character in the play Julius Caesar.
In various sections of the play, rhetoric is a vital component. In order for the conspiracy to be
successful, Cassius must persuade Brutus to join in killing Julius Caesar. Cassius recognizes that, "
[Brutus] sits high in all the people's hearts," making, "that which would appear offense in us," seem
to be of "virtue and worthiness," (1.3.157–160). Cassius knows that Brutus is an honorable man
therefore making the plot seem honorable and not sinister. Cassius exploits Brutus' love for Rome
and its people by forging a letter from a common folk urging for Brutus to take action against
Caesar. Brutus is ultimately convinced by this letter and leads the conspiracy afterward. In act 3
scene 2, Brutus uses logos to convince the plebeians that Caesar's murder was noble and honorable.
Brutus presents the plebeians with multiple rhetorical questions where the answers justifies Caesar's
death. "Who here is so base, that would be a bondman?" (3.2. 29–30) Brutus tells the plebeians that
which one of you is so low, that would be a slave, implying that if Caesar were to live, no one would
have freedom. No plebeian wishes to be a slave so they are convinced that Caesar's murder was
honorable. Yet neither Brutus nor Cassius is as convincing as Mark Antony.
Although rhetorical devices are used many times in the play, Antony exhibits all the techniques of
rhetoric to effectively communicate his point. One of Antony's methods of persuasion in the funeral
oration scene is logos. Since Brutus spoke first, Antony has the upper hand tactically where he can
refute any point Brutus makes. In his speech, Brutus mentions that Caesar was ambitious and for
that Caesar deserved death. Antony is able to

113. Satire of the Knight in the Prologue and Knight's Tale of...
Satire. Satire is a biting literary tool, one that Geoffery Chaucer used liberally when he wrote his
Canterbury Tales. Webster's New World Dictionary says that satire is "the use of ridicule, sarcasm,
etc. to attack vices, follies, etc." Using that definition, I think that all of the pilgrims in the
Canterbury Tales are satirized to some extent; some of the satirizations are more subtle than others.
The Knight is one of the pilgrims that is more subtly satirized.
Chaucer satirizes knights and chivalry in two different ways: in the prologue and in the Knight's
Tale. The first way in the prologue is with the pilgrim Knight's character. Chaucer wanted to present
a realistic knight, but he also wanted to give the Knight some very ... Show more content on

Hodges, featured in April 1995 edition of The Chaucer Review, Hodges examines the reasons
behind Chaucer's decisions on the clothing of his Knight. After examining the introduction of the
Knight's character in the General Prologue of the Canterbury Tales, Ms. Hodges said that Chaucer
intended his Knight to be the one true to life portrait of a knight of the 14th century–an every knight
of sorts. She also concluded that Chaucer wanted to go against the normal chivalric ideal of a knight
by presenting a knight as he really might have been: a basically good person, but with imperfections.
I disagree with Hodges about Chaucer's intentions when characterizing the knight. I don't think the
knight was meant to be a true to life portrait of "the every knight".
I think that the reason Hodges and I disagree has to do with the scope of our examination. Hodges
was mostly examining the Knight's clothing, with only references to the rest of the Knight's
description in the prologue, and only briefly mentions the Knight's Tale. I am looking at the Knight
in a more general sense, and looking at clues in the entire description and the tale.
One of the generalizations Hodges makes is that Chaucer's Knight is not romantically ideal. On this
point, we definitely agree. There haven't been many changes in peoples' conceptions of the "ideal

117. Theme Of Honor In Henry IV
Honor is a prominent theme in William Shakespeare's play Henry IV. The concept of honor
continuously surfaces and is questioned throughout the play. It's made evident that honor is
subjective; Every character has their own definition of it. Shakespeare doesn't discern a concrete
definition of honor, it's perceived in various ways by the characters in the play. It's a reflection of the
character's conscience and morality. Some relate it to noble behavior a, while others, associate it
with one's physical capabilities and achieving glory on the battlefield. The play manifests that honor
can be perceived as tangible, rather than a concept. Honor is mentioned for the first time by King
Henry, when he praises Hotspur after he defeats Douglas in the battle Holmedon. Henry states In
this passage, he is referring to Earl of Douglas' demise. He mentions that Hotspur has taken
Douglas' son Mordake, the Earl of Fife; and the Earls of Athol, Murray, Angus, and Menteith
prisoner. Harry brags to his kinsman about what an honorable and impressive catch it was, as if
Hotspur was his son. The text can be interpreted as King Henry seeking validation for his claim. In

asking his kinsmen if Hotspur's act was an honorable one. As if he's trying to convince everyone of

Brutus is naive, and this is definitely one of his tragic flaws. There is many of times that Brutus
would not be in trouble if he would be more conserved. This is observed when Cassius gives him
letters that are "from the Roman citizens". But it is known by the reader that these letters are fake

it is in Antony's will to avenge Caesar, and he knows just how to do it. This brings the Conspirators

In the chapter "The Things They Carried", the reader doesn't know who the author is yet and it is the
foundation for the rest of the book. The author describes what each character is like by mentioning
what kind of kinds of items they would carry. Each character carried unique items to show what
kind of person they are. He also mentioned the weight of each item they would carry to show how
emotionally and physically heavy things were. One of the many characters he described was Kiowa,
who carried the Bible. Another character that the author described was Jimmy Cross. He carried the
fake love he wanted Martha to have for him. Jimmy Cross was so consumed in his thoughts about
Martha that he feels that Ted Lavender died because of his fault. After that Ted Lavender's death, he
burned all the things Martha sent him and anything that would remind him of her because he knew
he would have to carry the guilt for Ted Lavender's death. The use of military diction in The Things
They Carried, such as mentioning the weight of each item and the numerous types of guns, shows
how he was still learning and how all those terms will be relevant to the rest of his story. O'Brien
describes the characters in a interesting way. He says the characters name, then he lists what they

Unlike Cassius, Brutus is always doing what he feels is best for the Romans. In addition, Cassius
feels inferior to Brutus. Brutus has much power from the people and is friends with the soon–to–be
king, which is why Cassius is so desperate to have Brutus on his side. Once he persuades Brutus to
join him, he shifts from being the leader of the conspirators to the subordinate of Brutus. For
instance, Brutus gives Antony permission to speak at the funeral, even though this went against
Cassius' own will. Lastly, Cassius is quick to make decisions but Brutus analyzes things before
coming to a final decision. It takes Brutus many days of agony to finally agree that joining Cassius
was the right thing to do. In contrast, Cassius spends only a few seconds to decide on committing
suicide. Directly after Pindarus says, "Now they are almost on him... And hark they shout for joy,"
Cassius kills himself. (Act V Scene III Lines 31, 34) He is quick minded, not realizing that Brutus
has actually not been captured. Both Brutus' and Cassius' characterizations are results of
Shakespeare's biased dialogue. Throughout the play, Brutus is continuously described as being noble
and honorable. The first mention of this is early on in the play. Cassius, when trying to persuade
Brutus to join the conspirators, praises Brutus by saying "noble Brutus" and "good Brutus" (page 17,
line 68, 72). During Antony's funeral speech, he repeats over and over "Brutus is an

149. How Does Antony Use Verbal Irony In Julius Caesar
Verbal irony is the intentional contrasting of what one says with what one means. Authors often use
verbal irony in dialogue to express a character's intentions behind he or she states. In The Tragedy of
Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, the author includes verbal irony in Marc Antony's funeral
speech to show the purpose behind his words, which is to avenge his friend and the ruler of Rome,
Julius Caesar, by persuading the audience to rebel. By including complements about the
conspirators, mentioning Caesar's will, and stating his false motives, he achieves his purpose of
persuading the Romans to rebel against the conspirators. First, Marc Antony uses complements
about the conspirators to ironically portray them in a negative way. In the speech, Antony calls the
men honorable, stating that "they that have done this are honorable." and "I fear I wrong the
honourable men whose daggers have stabbed Caesar." (Shakespeare 51). This is ironic because

Throughout his speech, Antony stresses the fact that his purpose was not to make the people rise
against the conspirators, saying "O masters, if I were disposed to stir your hearts and minds to
mutiny and rage, I should do Brutus wrong and Cassius wrong, who you all know are honourable
men. I will not do them wrong..." (Shakespeare 50–51) and "Good friends, sweet friends, let me not
stir you up to such a sudden flood of mutiny." (Shakespeare 53). His explanation of his motives is
ironic because he tells the audience that it is not his intention to compel them to mutiny when in
actuality his motive is to stir them up to mutiny. By explaining, repeatedly, his false motives and
compelling the audience to mutiny, Antony achieves his purpose because, ironically, explaining that
it is not his intention to stir them up becomes the action that actually enrages the Roman citizens to
the point where they revolt and attack the conspirators, forcing them to leave

It's Easy Lets Cheat
Journalist and math teacher Victor Dorff's article "Educations Cheating Epidemic" deals with his
concerns about the cultural and educational problem with cheating. Dorff claims that cheating is a
cultural problem and that society's acceptances of cheating only perpetuates the malicious cycle.
Dorff uses Classical Oration and uses his personal teaching experience, the general student
perspective, and societies frequent cheating activities to support his argument.
Dorff uses the Classical Oration in his argument against the society's acceptance of cheating. Dorff
demonstrates the Classical oration by using ethos and pathos in his introduction, he also does not

One example Dorff mentions is the Vice President plagiarizing his speech and goes on to say, "At
the time, many thought that would be the end of his political career, but in today's world, it's just one
of those things". Dorff's Vice President example shows that society has digressed from
implementing high standards on our leaders to become indifferent about cheating because it is really
common. Dorff uses shady banks and Wall Street Brokers actions as another example for cheating.
Dorff mentions, "It's easy to see how students these days end up feeling that cheating is an accepted
part of success". By using banks and Wall Street Brokers he makes it apparent that cheating does not
just occur in academia but in also in the workplace which in turn students think it is acceptable
behavior. Dorff goes outside of just papers and math tests and exploits by shinning a light on real
