Hey

While it may seem that Brutus is a betrayer in the sense that he did have a hand in the murder of Caesar, if it weren’t for Cassius sending those fake letters and telling lies about Caesar, Brutus may never have actually participated in the actual act. I’m not saying that if you believe someone doesn’t have right to rule you should kill them but in Brutus’ case he honestly believed that since Caesar was loved by so many people, if he didn’t kill him all of Rome would suffer. In his speech to the people Brutus says "Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him." This shows his mixed emotions about the situation. So, should Brutus be considered a patriot or a betrayer? I think the answer would have to be a betrayer. Whether or not he felt strongly about his reasoning to try and save Rome from Caesar as a ruler is irrelevant. The murder should never have happened. I’m sure there were other ways he could’ve tried to keep Caesar from becoming king.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
