Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is a great time of the year.  Besides the food and fun, I have many things to be thankful for.  First off, I am thankful for how my parents always support me and what I choose to do. They give me great encouragement. Secondly, I am thankful for all the things that I own because not everyone in the world can live under a good roof and have food everyday.  Most importantly, I am thankful for my friends because they  are always there for me.  I hope they think that I am always there for them, too.  I can also have a lot of fun with them!  These are just a few of the things that I am thankful for in life.                                                                                             Picture By: CraftyGoat

Casting Calls

   If I were to direct a movie on Julius Caesar, the main characters that would be cast first would be Antony,  Caesar, Brutus, and Cassius.  Kiefer Sutherland would be cast as Antony because he is sly and can make people believe in one thing and do another without it being recognized.  He has been in a few movies where he plays a sly character.  Secondly, I would cast Russell Crowe as Caesar because he was also in the movie Gladiator, which showed his self- assurance.  Next, the role for Cassius would go to Dwayne Johnson because  he pretty much agrees to a lot of the things his daughter wanted in the movie, The Game Plan.  Finally, Gerard Butler would play Brutus because he is respected in the movie Chasing Mavericks.

Julius Caesar Project

       For my English project, I chose to do Julius Caesar’s family tree.  I didn't realize that making this project would have so many details.  I had to look up all the people, their life span, and their life events.  It was very interesting to learn how much their lives were similar to families and relationships today.  I did not know before I started this project that Caesar had 3 wives and over that time span, 3 mistresses as well.  In addition, he had a child with one of those mistresses.  Creating the actual family tree made it a lot easier to recognize the people and how they were related to Caesar.
