Julius Caesar re- make
Many of the characters in Julius Caesar are very different from one another. They talk about each other, are backstabbing, misleading, liars, and all want to come to power. Throughout reading this book there are several main characters that could be switched with some of the people in our class (not to say that they are misleading liars, but more of how they act and what they do).
Brutus- In the story, Brutus is portrayed to be a backstabbing character. Brutus is supposed to be one of Caesars best friends but he ends up killing Caesar literally in the back. He knows that he must kill Caesar before he gets too much power. Also, according to Portia, Brutus is also a liar because when she asks Brutus if he is okay, his response is " Im not in good health." One person in our class that might fit this character could be Will. Even though Will tries to act like hes doing work in class, he really isn't. He back stabs Mr potter by saying he really is paying attention, when really he is not.
Julius Caesar- Caesar is one if the most uprising character in the book. He wants all power to himself and refuses to listen to others. When his wife Calpurnia tells him that she has a vision that he she sees a statue of Caesar with a fountain of blood, he doesn't do anything about it. Also when the soothsayer says "beware of the ides of March," Caesar just straight up ignores him. In some cases, Julius does not fear death because he knows that everyone has to face it, so why try to do anything about it now. A character that represent Julius is Mr potter. Mr Potter, has the ability to take control of our class room, and sometimes he gets a little out of control with his jokes and saying that Shakespeare is the man. Sometimes he does not listen to what his students have to say and is very sarcastic through what he says. And also Mr. Potter is very wise. He knows that everyone in class has to get there work done whether they want to or not.
Antony- Is a good friend of Julius Caesar who launches himself into a major position of power throughout the play. When Antony speaks out in scene III he explains to the pleabians that Casear was not an ambitious man, he was an honorable man. Three things he said was that he gives back to the Romans, by giving them their ransom back. Caesar also refuses the crown three times, and when Caesar saw the poor he began to cry, and felt sorrow for his people. A character that represents Antony would probably be Mark. Mark always has very smart comments during class and is always willing to back up Mr. Potter when he needs it. Mark is also a very outgoing person and has good speaking skills.
Those are just a couple of characters that if i had to switch with people in our class, that would who they would be.

Julius Caeser....etc
Again, Mr potter didn't give us topics for this weeks blog so now im forced to talk about English class. Personally, Julius caeser isn't one of the topics to die for. I don't know why, i guess its just because the way they spoke back then is hard for me to understand.
In class we have been reading a lot of the book. Along with reading we have to fill out a study packet that helps us out with our pop quizzes. ....Speaking of pop quizzes, we were given one on Tuesday, and let me tell you, i didn't do so well. I got a 5 out of 13. Which is complete failure. I wouldn't have gotten so bad it we didn't have to read the dumb book. But anyways i think Mr potter should show us the video and read the book, cause im a visual learner and things like that really help me. Another thing we should do is go over all the questions in the packet and help us review for the little quizzes he gives us. If we did all of this as a class I think i will be able to pull off a A on Julius Caesar.
Alright so this past week for lacrosse we played Delaware. and we beat the crap out of them 10- 2. I had 2 goals and 5 assists. It was such a good game for me and our coach was proud of us!:)

More Julius caeser
Okay, so all of this Julius caeser stuff is killing me. We had a quiz a couple of days ago and i got a 19/ 21 which is a 90. Im proud of myself knowing the material before the quiz cause i probably wouldn't have gotten the grade a got. Studying really helps me:) okay.. so during the reading in class, nick played the soothsayer and it was hilarious because he used this really funny voice that made like the whole entire class laugh and mr potter. hahahahahah, and also i like where i sit in class becuase abby is really helpful and shes a really trustworthy friend. thanks abby! (if your reading this)
also we had 2 lacrosse games this week. the first one we won against pickerington central 15-11 and the second one we lost 8-7. I know we could have had the game if we all pushed ourselves a little more and had much more control of the ball, but overall i thought we played really good. Last year we lost like 20- 8,... yea thats bad, and this year we came so close!!!! im so proud of my team:) !!!

april 9, 2011
Alright, so its the first week back from spring break, and English has been boring. I don't like Julius Cesar. In my personal opinion i think that the movie that we had to watch during this week was okay. The majority of it was nothing but fighting and people taking over each others countries and backstabbing each other. So yea... its okay. And in the end the guy ends up dying but doesn't listen to the the woman he married.
Okay, so enough about English!!!!
So everyday this week, we had lacrosse, except for Monday. We were supposed to have a game Monday, but because of the weather, it was cancelled. I was sososososo glad that we didn't have lacrosse whether the weather was terrible or not because during spring break i didn't practice lacrosse at all. I was really rusty when we had practice on Tuesday. Also were getting new jerseys and skirts for lax since we raised over 900 dollars from our max and ermas fun raiser and from our donatoes fun raiser. Im like really excited to get them tooo:)
* Plus were undefeated:)! <3
