Caesar: Brad Pitt
Brutus: Johnny Depp
Antony: Russell Crowe
Calpurnia: Jessica Alba
Portia: Jessica Biel


I choose Brad Pitt for Caesar because he has been a movie from about the same time. He was in the movie Troy and i just think he is a good actor. Also all the ladies love him and it would bring in a lot of money. He can play about any role.

I choose Johnny Depp for Brutus just because i didnt really know who to pick. I think he is a pretty good actor and he has played a lot of different roles in many movies. He always looks different in each movie. I think they could get him to look like a good Roman.

I choose Russel Crowe for Antony because he has long hair and i picture every roman then to have long hair. I also picked him because he seems like a warrior haha. Um i dont really have any other reasons for that.

I choose Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel because they both are hot. I think a lot of guys would go see the movie if they were in it. Also they are pretty good actors.

This was kinda hard for me because i dont know many actors that would be good for these roles but i tried my best. I gave it my best effort but this blog probably sucks lol but oh well i trried

almost done

So we are coming to the end of the school year but there is still so much to be done. I have had so many projects and work to do. I cant wait until i don't have to do these blogs anymore because they are boring and i never know what to say. This is like the easiest way to get points but i have a hard time with it. Its hard to talk about what we did that week in English. We dont really do much and when we do its the same all week. Like if we read, we read all week. so how do you write a 30 min blog on that? I find it really hard to do and i just end up off topic. Like this blog so far has only been about 4 mins. That is why i hate these. It feels like i have been typing forever when it has only been like 5 mins.

Well im going to talk aboout this week in English. We started ready Julius Caesar. So far it is alright but i have no idea what it means and if it wasnt for potter i would have no clue. I kinda think it is boring but im trying to give it a chance like he said to do. So far its not going well. I almost fall asleep everyday but i have been able to stay awake and read along. I like how we are told what like ever sentence means because without that it just sounds like stupid talk. Like who talks like that? it is a really strange way to talk and how Shakespeare ever came up with it i have no clue. but it is kinda cool.

I think it would be super cool if everyone started to talk like they do in this play. It would be very interesting and funny. Even though i have no clue what it means half the time i could learn. It couldn't be that hard i dont think. Maybe one day i will try and talk like that for a day or 2. People would probably think i am crazy though but oh well. It would be funny though. I think it is worth trying just to see what people say.

Well im running out of things to say now. Again i really hate these blogs and i want to be done with them. I think i like it better when we have a topic to talk about instead of just what we did that week in school. Oh well i guess i just need to deal with them and do them so i get the points. well thats all for this week i guess

shakespeare is the man?

This week we started our Shakespeare unit. The first day in class we listed words that came to our minds about him. Some of the words were kinda funny. Then Mr. potter went in like a 30 min discussion on how he is the man. I thought it was funny because some girls in my class, wont say any names, tried to go against him which was clearly not working. We read a poem from him that proved he was the man. After a long discussion i am convinced he is the man. Even though i have no clue what he is ever saying, he still is the man. He is the best writer ever no doubt. here are some examples why....

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

The little Love-god lying once asleep,
Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,
Whilst many nymphs that vowed chaste life to keep,
Came tripping by, but in her maiden hand,
The fairest votary took up that fire,
Which many legions of true hearts had warmed,
And so the general of hot desire,
Was sleeping by a virgin hand disarmed.
This brand she quenched in a cool well by,
Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual,
Growing a bath and healthful remedy,
For men discased, but I my mistress' thrall,
Came there for cure and this by that I prove,
Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.


149

Canst thou O cruel, say I love thee not,
When I against my self with thee partake?
Do I not think on thee when I forgot
Am of my self, all-tyrant, for thy sake?
Who hateth thee that I do call my friend,
On whom frown'st thou that I do fawn upon,
Nay if thou lour'st on me do I not spend
Revenge upon my self with present moan?
What merit do I in my self respect,
That is so proud thy service to despise,
When all my best doth worship thy defect,
Commanded by the motion of thine eyes?
But love hate on for now I know thy mind,
Those that can see thou lov'st, and I am blind.


 His writing is like no one other and very different. I would like to know how he came up with these sonnets. It is very interesting i think. I wish i could write like that sometimes. then maybe i could get more girls. But he is the only one who can.

When most I wink then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected,
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
Then thou whose shadow shadows doth make bright
How would thy shadow's form, form happy show,
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would (I say) mine eyes be blessed made,
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade,
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.

Can my love excuse the slow offence,
Of my dull bearer, when from thee I speed,
From where thou art, why should I haste me thence?
Till I return of posting is no need.
O what excuse will my poor beast then find,
When swift extremity can seem but slow?
Then should I spur though mounted on the wind,
In winged speed no motion shall I know,
Then can no horse with my desire keep pace,
Therefore desire (of perfect'st love being made)
Shall neigh (no dull flesh) in his fiery race,
But love, for love, thus shall excuse my jade,
Since from thee going, he went wilful-slow,
Towards thee I'll run, and give him leave to go.


It is just amazing how still to this day he is being taught in school. It has been like 500 years since we wrote this stuff and its still around. That is just amazing to me and any writer now would wish that their writings would last that long. Well this week we are starting the play and i will have to see how good that is. cant wait!
