Julius Ceaser "Does The End Justify The Means"

"Danger knows full well that Caesar is more dangerous than he is," When Caesar said this, it illustrates to the reader Caesar’s character. These lines automatically set the scene of Caesar’s character being very pompous and self- confident. When said this not only does Caesar give the reader a since of his character but also gives the conspirators an other reason to kill him. The conspirators believe that Caesar is already going out of his head and is being viewed as a “god”, this is freighting for them because they do not want Caesar as king and to dictate Rome. Creaser being a man who had done so much for Rome and the common people, he was viewed in the play as very intimidating character, who had control of everyone and everything. However the mains faults in Caesar where is egotistic ways and his over scoring ambition and they ultimately lead to Caesar to death.

Since Caesar had done so much for Rome and was praised by men all over Italy he was starting to get over his head and became very egotistic. He did what he wanted when he wanted not worrying about the after math. Caesar in his own view was a great man, almost as if he was a god. When Caesar was being crowned at the statue of Pompay where he said his final words he talked greatly of himself. "I am constant as the northern star, Of whose true-fix'd and resting quality” Caesar was so confident and proud of himself that he compared himself to the Northern Star a star that is like no other. He believes no one is like him. What Caesar had done for himself was create a pedestal so high that no one is capable of knocking it down and no one is even worthy of climbing up to it, to be as good as Caesar. “There is no fellow in the firmament." At this point Caesar was admitting to the fact he is the best, and that there is nothing like him. The quote cleary shows Ceasars narcissistic ways and this was Caesar’s hubris. He had gotten so high up in his mind that his peers began to notice and so began the conspiracy plot. They were afraid of Caesar taking all the power and afraid of him being in control. Yet with Ceasars ambition he was not going to go down with out a fight.

Caeser’s ambition was what many of the consparitors were afraid oh.The knew he was a powerfull man that could do anything at that point. Caeser was not going to let anything or anyone get in the way of his ambition. When arriving in Rome after defeating Pompay, Caesar already gives the people a mere taste of his ambition and power. “I could tell you more news too: Marullus and Flavius, for pulling scarf’s off Caesars images are put to silence.” Caesar just arriving in Rome already had his eye open. He killed them for just taking down Caesars statues and yet Caesar became furious enough to kill them. You can see that Caesar won’t let the slightest thing get in the way. He will kill people to get to where is ambition leads him and this was worrying for the conspirators. They did not want Caesar’s ambition to get so high that it would be hard to knock him down. “But, he was ambitious, I slew him.” The conspirators saw this growing ambition in Caesar and for Brutus a man within the Conspiracy group admits to saying I killed Caesar for his ambition in Caesar’s funeral speech.

Caesar’s ambition and his egotistic persona were the main driving forces as to why the killed Caesar. These characteristics within Caesar made him arrogant and fearful among his peers. However being ambitious and egotistic is bound to happen for a man like Caesar who has done so much for Rome. He had the right to be proud of himself and being tactical was what he had to have to make Rome into what it was. The conspirators’ thought by killing him they would make Rome better, however they were not able to make this happen so at the end they slew Caesar with no positive out come. Caesar in my view did not deserve to be killed. He did everything he could for Rome and it is only human of his to be proud of himself. After killing Caesar people saw his dead body and saw tears within his eyes, is a man who Is intimidating cry? The people also learn that after Caesar dies he leaves all his money and orchids for Rome. Would a man that was only succeeding for himself and not carrying about his country do that? By killing Caesar the conspirators did not get anything, infact after killing him they made Rome mad and the people of Rome went into a huge riot.

Peter's Journey....

Confusion and rage were the only emotions I could feel as I Peter watched my village Dinka be torn apart in this ruthless civil war, within my own country. Why, why must a country fight with its self. Religion and politics are the two main reasons my life was destroyed. I can remember the day clearly as the Northern Islamic men from Khartoum, Sudan came and attacked us Christian/Animistic believers in the South. It wasn’t the first time they attacked us, this civil war in my country has been going on for almost 10 years! My house was burned, my sisters and my mother taken away from me. Still till today I don’t know where they are. I ran as fast as I could hoping to escape from this hell. From that day on it was clear I was an orphan. Lonely scared and homesick is what I was feeling when I was forced to migrate from Dinka to the Kenyan refugee camps. The walk was hard and tiring. I had company on journey from other young men who were forced to migrate from Dinka. On our walk we faced many challenges. Lions attacking us various armies, shooting at us. It was hot and we didn’t have much water or food, I could feel the skin of my soul coming off. As we got to the camp I was thrilled. We survived on the very little we had. Most of us boys didn’t have much and we lived off of rashend food and donations. Yet the only thing I wanted to accomplish in life was get an education and support the people of Dinka with money.
Years went by and we were in the refugee camp. I was going to school and found out there might be a chance for me to escape into heaven. Many boys who were going to school were getting a chance to flee to America where they will work and all their problems would be solved. This new opportunity was just what I needed. I applied to go to America and I was given legal permission to go. The boys who went to America were now looked as Lost Boys of Sudan.
I being a lost boy went to America and soon realized it wasn’t heaven and that not any of my problems would be solved. I moved to Texas with my friend from Dinka Santino. For a few months we lived together. We shared money for rent and food, yet we both had problems assimilating with the American culture’s ethnography. However I soon came to realize that living in the ghettos of Texas with Santino and living from pay check to pay check wasn’t going to get him or me anywhere. We were barley serving with our money that we earn from working at factories. I knew I had to make a change, in my life to earn more money and become a wiser man to help the people from Sudan, or I might as well return to Africa because living the way I am I can’t help my people or help me.
After living with Santino I moved to Kansas alone. Santino was very upset, he thought we would be together forever but it was time for me to depart and think alone. In Kansas I was accepted in school. It was hard for me to fit in. Even in Texas the people looked upon me as a refugee but not a migrant. I would get stares for being darker then the black citizens of America. I thought this would go away, however I still face these problems here in school. Unlike the other kids I lived alone and worked. Many of the kids had parents and I didn’t. My schedule was very rough. I worked everyday and went to school. The situation with money wasn’t getting any better. I was finding it hard to send money back to Sudan because while living in America I was using it all up.
As time rolled by i began to find a grater interest in of America. I saw an urge in me to try new things so I did. I tried out for the Basket-ball team hoping to make it into Varsity. Even though I didn’t make it I made new friends, and not making the team aloud more times for my studies. With the few years that I have been going to school in America I have made friends that aren’t just from my Sudanese family. I have seen a new culture that I have found a profound interest in and a new religion Christianity I have learned to respect.
My journey in America has been hard and challenging, in almost all the strides I take I seem to find a new challenge I must face and overcome. However with the persistence in my heart to move forward, I will.
