Cassius and Brutus appear to be on the same side, but with a closer look it's clear that they are character foils. Cassius makes every decision based on what he personally has invested in the issue and what he could have to gain. When he proposes killing Caesar, he says to Brutus that it's not their fault that they are not "as great" in the public eye as Caesar, and that potentially they could be even better than Caesar.

Brutus however, acts only for the greater good. He only agrees to kill Caesar after he has weighed the decision heavily and decided that the act would be in the best interest of Rome as a whole.

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)
