In 1599, Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar, a story about the betrayal and death of the historical figure Julius Caesar. The character Brutus, who is Caesar’s close friend, joins a conspiracy that intends to murder Caesar for the good of the republic. While people generally agree that Caesar was rapidly gaining more power, there is disagreement on whether Brutus should have conspired against him. Some people argue that this would be beneficial for him because it would bring him fame and glory, but

life. One of the pioneer of Realism was Henry James. In his essay “Art of Fiction” he described realism not as an attempt to picture someone’s life experiences but rather as a way to evoke a sense of reality in the mind (554) on the reader. Although Mark Twain’s short story “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" was written fifteen years before this approach of realism, it is an example of realism as defined by Henry James, for it succeeds to create an illusion of reality by using three capital

One of the most defining moments in Roman history was the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar on the 15th of March, 44 BCE. It sparked the transition from a republican to an imperial system of government for Rome. Caesar admired the idea of a government that was controlled by an individual (Imperialism), and not by senators constantly jostling for power (Republicanism).

In both situations, Zits’ and Jimmy’s, the planes held meaning for them. For Zits’ the planes were the first gift he had received in who knows how long. As for Jimmy, piloting is his life.

I think Alexie makes this parallel to draw a connection between Zits and Jimmy beyond a racial issue. The other three characters Zits

Elvin Mallory Mrs. Milling 10th Lit 23 February 2017 “Et tu, Brute?° then fall Caesar”. (1.2.27-28) Those are the words of Caesar after his best friend betrayed him by killing him with a group of conspirators.

Although he calls them his “good friends” and “honest neighbours” we know that he thinks they are all a bunch of “dissentious rogues” and never takes their side when they complain about the social
