Mob Rule. Does It Happen Today? Can
Anything Good Come From It?
Mob Rule is when the mob takes
over. This usually happens in countries where there are bad kings. It has
happened in the past and sometimes happens today when the king makes the people
mad and they run to the palace/castle/white house, etc. and protest. It is hard
to say that good things come out of it, but sometimes they do. Mob changes the
government so it is better. For example, in the British Civil War, nobody liked
King Henry VIII. He married a Catholic when England
had broken away from the Catholics to start their own church. He also put many
other Catholics in high places in the government. So they executed him and just
Parliament ruled. Because of Mob Rule, right now in Britain, Parliament is more
in charge that the king/queen.
What Is Superstition? Does It Play A
Part In Your Life? Explain.
Superstition is, according to the
dictionary, “a belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge, in the
ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurrence,
proceeding, or the like”. I don’t know if superstition plays a part in my life,
I think it is just ridiculous. I think if something is true, it would show
through evidence. Some people might say the beliefs in our church are
superstitious, but there is proof to all of that. For example, some people
might not believe in God, and they say believing in God is superstitious.
However, there is proof all around us, there would not be anything if there
wasn’t a God. Those are some reasons I don’t think superstition plays a part in
my life.
What is the Difference between Acting
and Reacting?
Give Two Examples.
Acting and reacting are different. Acting is when you choose
do act or do something. Reacting is when someone else chooses to do something
and you act to that choice. Here are two examples: 1. two people are talking.
One person says something mean. The other person says something mean back. The
first person is acting. The second person is reacting. 2. One person has a
grudge against another person. He starts hurting the other person, who runs
away. The first person is acting and
reacting because the second person probably did something to make the first
person hate them.
What Kind of Decisions Lead to
Destruction?
I
do not have any friends who have ever made a decision that led me or them to
destruction. However, I can name a few choices. My friends have never made
these choices. If I ever have to make these choices, I will choose the right
path. I hope my friends will too.
The
first choice that can lead to destruction is drugs. I will never do drugs and I
am pretty sure my friends won’t either. Drugs can lead to destruction because
they literally destroy you. Drugs are addictive. Once you start, it’s hard to
stop. And all drugs are very bad for your body.
Another
choice that could lead to destruction is turning away from the church. Jesus
loves us, and wants us to be happy. If we turn away from the gospel, we will
not be happy. Wickedness was never happiness. Only Heavenly Father, Jesus, and
the Holy Ghost can make us truly happy.
I
hope that I will never have to make these choices and if they come to me I have
already decided to choose the right. I am pretty sure that my friends are too
good for this too.
In Your Opinion, What Makes a Great Leader?
Give An Example From Your Life.
A
great leader is someone who can step up, face their fears, is considerate to
people, and knows how to do what everyone wants, not just what they want. Here
is the story of how I tried to be a great leader in my public school.
We
were split up into spelling groups and were told to come up with a name for our
group. Nobody in my group knew how to compromise. So I stepped up and started
being the leader. I did everything for others, not for myself. Eventually, we
compromised by combining our ideas. It ended up being called something like the
“Tropical Einstein Penguins” or something, but at least we all agreed to it.
When You Do Something Wrong, What Kind Of Emotions Do You Experience?
Do These Emotions Effect Your Actions? If So, How Do They?
When I do something wrong, I
sometimes feel sad. But, I usually feel mad. And this does effect my actions It
makes puts me in a bad mood, and doesn’t help me to get any nicer. When I am
mad, I am usually mad at a person, and I don’t feel happy for that person until
they or I say something or do something nice to each other. But my actions
effect my emotions because I keep remembering what I did, and when I do
something nice, I remember that and it puts me in a great mood.
A Summary of Julius Caesar
The
play “Julius Caesar” is about events which happened around the time of Julius
Caesar’s death. It is not totally accurate, but most of the events are true and
really did happen.
The
play opens up about a month before Caesar’s death. Caesar has just returned to
Tome after a war victory. The first two scenes are just to open up the play. A
month later, Cassius is gathering together many people and planning to kill
Caesar. They go to Brutus’ house and convince him to help them.
On
the Ides of March (March 15), which a soothsayer had previously warned Caesar
about, Calpurnia, Caesar’s wife, has a bad dream and convinces him to stay home
for the day. However, Decius, one of Caesar’s conspirators, convinces him to go
instead. He goes to the Capitol and is murdered by his conspirators.
Afterwards, Brutus convinces the people to leave him alone. But right after
that Marc Antony (Caesar’s friend) changes the people’s perspectives back and
they become a mob.
The
rest of the play is about Brutus and Cassius in a way against Marc Antony and
Octavius. Caesar’s ghost also appears to Brutus. Seeing that he and Brutus are
losing, Cassius commits suicide and, eventually, Brutus does too. Thus,
Caesar’s death is avenged.
“Julius
Caesar” is one of Shakespeare’s masterpieces. I hope you liked the summary.
Compare Brutus and Cassius as Leaders.
Who Would You Follow and Why?
Well, to start, they are both
murderers. But if I had to choose, it would be Cassius. Cassius is a natural
leader. He has lots of leadership skills. When he wants to do something he
gathers people and does it. He leads them into doing it. Brutus, on the other
hand, is nervous. But one strength Brutus has is speaking. He can change
people’s opinions by just talking to them. They are both smart, and they want
to save Rome . They understand that
Caesar is getting too much power and they need to stop it. What they don’t
understand is that the worst way to stop him is violence.
Is Antony
Marc Antony is a good friend to
Caesar. He is loyal to him always. He supported and helped Caesar along the
way. He never turned against him on any of his decisions, just gave him advice,
defended, and supported him. Marc Antony is a great friend to Julius Caesar,
and I just gave you 3 reasons for that. Julius Caesar is a hard play to choose
sides, because pretty much everyone is evil. But Marc Antony is probably one of
the most righteous people in the whole play.
