At the beginning of the apology, Socrates was always a step ahead and responded with questioning. His method can be compared to a player in a chess game, which Leo mentioned, where you have to think about your opponents next move in order to be a step ahead of them. #xhsapology
His approach to his message in his speech used logos rather than an emotional appeal, which showed his confident attitude when questioning his opponents argument. #xhsapology
When challenged with the verdict of condemning Socrates to death, he stood up for his beliefs and philosophy and didn’t changehis opinion, knowing their would be consequences. #xhsapology
I expect to become a diligent writer and more well spoken. I hope to increase my vocabulary and work to earn a great score on the AP exam.

Cassius shows that he is an epicurean believing in the Greeks ideas. He says, “Now most noble Brutus the gods today stand friendly that we may, lovers in peace lead on our days to age. But since the affairs of men rest still incertain let’s reason with the worst that may befall.”

Brutus’ thoughts on life and death are expressed through his words, “Why then, lead on. Oh, that a man might know the end if this days business ere it come! But it suffice that the day will end, and that the end is now—Come ho! Away!”

Shakespeare believes that the theme of Julius Caesar is friendship. This friendship exists between Cassius and Brutus and stayed even when conspiracies were made about Cassius.

In the pitch black, I walked up the creepy stairs towards the attic. I opened the door and red, piercing eyes staring at me wanting to kill.
