In Caliban speech in act 2 scene 2 , Shakespeare uses a few similes for example he says “Sometimes like apes , that mow and chatter at me.” In this simillie Caliban is saying that  has cursed that he can he voices speaking to him in other words prospero has basically made him a mad man .

Shakespare also uses a violent way in Caliban speech.He uses this way of text because if ur up to date on the tempest you will know that Prospero has cursed Caliban because Caliban attempted to rape his daughter , Miranda and because of that Caliban is very angry and mad in his speech .

Long Walk To Freedom : Book Review 

Long walk to freedom is an autobiography book written about the South African president Nelson Mandela. The book is basically about Nelson Mandela whole life from early age until his adult age. This book is very sad is basically about how Nelson Mandela have to go through racism through his whole life and how he tried fight for the rights of black people.

In my opinion I believe this book is an excellent book and evreyone should read this because Nelson Mandela is an inspirational to evreyone.Aswell as being a fantastic book this book won the Alan Paton Award in 1995.

This is linked to the Rugged indavidual because it is based on a man called Nelson who was bought up by an unhealthy family but later on becomes the president of South Africa and stops racism.

Tbandz was walking to the chicken shop,he just recently won the mobo award with his new song R Price on job.To celebrate his winning him and his friend RS went to the chicken shop.

“Ye fam it good ones as well fam how much are you willing to buy it for ?” R Price said.

“That is calm ! ” said R Price.

As Tbandz and R Price was talking R Price noticed that the two boys on the other table from them are two students that he regularly teaches in his English class , he tries his best not to look at them.

Caesar and Brutus were both important men in the play, they were to political leaders who were respected by everyone in Rome.They were both two friends until Brutus decides to take his best friend life for the good of Rome.

The two men were notably different in character and outlook. Caesar was an arrogant, greedy person. He was very ambition and the meaning of ambition to Romans was an act of a bad person as they put themselves first before others. Also, Caesar always refers himself in the third person and thinks his immortal but how long did he take him to die in the play ?. Brutus, on the other hand, is the completely opposite to Caesar, he was very kind towards others and was also very caring towards others as well. The thing that people liked about Brutus the most is that he acts for the greater good of Rome whereas Caesar acts for the greater of him selves.

Caesar was more loved and liked by the crowd. In terms of speaking Brutus, his speech is normally short and concise whereas Caesar was more of a persuasive person when he talks.

Brutus is know as a hero but  he faces a major conflict between his loyalty to his friend and his loyalty to his country. Although Brutus’ relationship with Caesar is strong, his relationship with the people of Rome is stronger.

it started at the start of the play when everyone in Rome gathered in a public place because they were ready to celebrate the feast of Lupercal. During the Feast of Lupercal Brutus and Cassius meets each over and talk while everyone was moving to the next event. Cassius convinces Brutus into to killing Caesar. He does by using Brutisis weakness to his advantage, He know that Brutus will do anything to save Rome, So Cassius tells Brutus that Caesar will need to be assassinated so that Rome can become a better place. It was a hard decision to make but because Caesar was Brutus best friend and Brutus is loyal so he declines the offer, but Cassius persuades Brutus even more, Brutus could not decline the offer so he accepts it and decides to kill Caesar, His best friend for the great of Rome.

To summarise the start of the play, I believe that Brutus is turning into Caesar in terms of thoughts because normally Brutus wouldn’t ever think of killing someone he is too good-hearted to do so.

Moving on , After Brutus and Cassius think of their evil plan , A Soothsayer from know where says to Caesar “Beware the ides of March ” ( The Soothsayer tries to give Caesar a hint as the ides of March was the day when Brutus And Cassius we’re going to assassinate Caesar ) but Caesar decides to give no interest in it because Caesar thinks he’s some immortal God but that not the case, In result of not listening to the soothsayer he dies at the end of the play.

Brutus also dies at the very end of the play by committing suicide during a war. He commits suicide because his plan, killing Caesar ford the greater good of Rome never worked. The people of Rome hated him for killing Caesar after  Anthony spoke to them. He killed himself because back in the Roman times killing yourself was an honorable way to die.

A Major Similarity is that they both show Hubris.

Soothsayer: “Beware the Ides of March”.                              Caesar: “He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass.”                 In this quote, Caesar is showing Hubris because here he is being very arrogant and he also thinks now that he is immortal, that nothing can happen to him

Brutus: “With this I depart: that, as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself when it shall please my country to need my death”                        In this quote Brutus is also showing hubris because here he is being very self-confident  knows that the Plebeians won’t want him to die so he says this because he is so self-confident in the fact that they will want him to live.                                               

To conclude my essay I have to say that Brutus and Caesar were completely different at the start of the play but throughout the play I think Shakespeare deliberately  changes the way Brutus acts and tries his best to make Brutus similar to Caesar.

I disagree with this statement. First of all, we’re not monsters. There are a minority of teenagers who are lazy, but yet they still wake up every day to get ready to go to school. To be honest, people who agree with the statement are saying that they were a lazy monster when they were a teenager.I dont think so. Please stop criticizing us.

I also disagree with this statement because I still don’t get the idea that when a kid blows the candles out on his 13 birthday, he is suddenly a monster. No. I also don’t get the fact why teenagers are seen as bad people but really they’re not. If you agree with this and you are a parent, why don’t’ you make the world a better a place and discipline your child so that we wont have this negative stereotypes?

Some people may disagree with me and think teenagers are always lazy but there is a justification to this. This is because we all have a hormone called melatonin which make us sleepy at night wich is around 1 am for teenagers but 10 pm for adults. It harder for teens because puberty disrupts melatonin. So how do you expect us to sleep at that time and wake up early to go to school?

I believe  that teenagers are not getting the physical activity that they need on a daily basis. Look at all of the advancements that have been made in our world of technology. From cell phones, video gaming systems, to handheld gaming systems, to computers; our world is very different today before all this modern technology was invented.This is why I agree with this statement abit

As I’m not bias I think some teenagers are lazy but it is not all of us it is a minority of us but there a reason to it is because in the current society we live in instead of searching up the book or going to the shop to buy something we can just order online due to that teenagers have been becoming more lazy than before imagine in the future how much teenagers laziness will increase? A lot won’t it so I understand why some adults are complaining that teenagers laziness in my opinion I think we should blame the modern technology.

I Also Disagree With This Because If We look at all teenagers even though their body kicks at 11 they wake up at 7 or 8 to go to school, Also If we were lazy We Wouldn’t Like PE which is the most best subject in school for a teenager Well to be able to do that your certainly not lazy. Also Teenagers Go through a lot of stress e.g., Exam, Friendship, Homework’s, Life at Home, Puberty and many more why can’t you expect some teenagers to be lazy sometimes if they are going through a lot of things.

This Frustrates me because every day there is a negative stereotype on teenagers there not been a positive stereotype on teenager adults thinks we’re lazy and bad, but we’re not all like that were actually good and disciplined. Why don’t you expect us to be lazy at the time as human it happens to us no one is perfect.

I also disagree with people calling us monsters. Yeah we may be aggressive and angry sometimes but we’re still kind and caring people but a lack of sleep means moodiness this is why some teenagers are frustrated every day. Now calling us monsters is it true that all of us are carrying knives, Drugs and the large amount of money. After all who gives us these aren’t it adult who uses innocent young children to do their dirty jobs.

Moving on is it always us teenagers on the news for doing bad stuff? No I don’t blame us I blame the media for not focusing on what good things teenagers accomplish they would rather tell us about teenagers stabbing and stealing someone than telling us how teenagers are focusing on their learning. We rarely see our self on the news helping people. The world urges violence just because there entertaining to see and watch and also to be honest if we see the news adult have move of a bad reputations than teenagers after all adult are seen as the one to be a good role model and to set good examples to younger people but no there are the one who is getting wasted on the street, shooting people and selling drugs.

Concluding my debate I disagree with the statement “teenagers are lazy monsters” as I believe it is a clear stereotype and it not true and explained enough to prove us that we are lazy monster and also is it really teens that are the real monsters? Or are the adult the real lazy monsters?
