Marcus Antonius
Marcus Antonius, commonly referred to as Antony, is a character from “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”, a play by William Shakespeare. He has a great contrast to most of the characters in the play, as he has an innocent mind and a livelier mood than the rest. He does not think too deep into things as the others do. Antony is what could be considered a close friend of Caesar’s, and could even be considered as his character foil. However, he is mainly a character foil to Brutus, who, not only is more intellectual and a deeper thinker than him, but is also much more reserved. Antony appears to be a character that is extremely naive and readily willing to trust anyone or anything. Even with his flaws, and large difference from the other characters in the play, he is well suited for lightening the mood a bit in such a dark and seriously themed play.
Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar is the main protagonist in the play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" written by William Shakespeare. Julius Caesar, in the time and setting of the play, was a General and won the popularity of the common people. Although sometimes he is seen as bossy and arrogant, in reality he is a very smart and perceptive man. We start see this when he becomes suspicious of Cassius and sees him as a dangerous man. Caesar also has the falling-sickness (epilepsy), which makes him appear weak.
Julius Caesar
Julius Caesar, in the play "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare is a general from the Roman army who had just returned to Rome from defeating Pompey. Caesar is a complex character in the sense that he is strong yet weak at the same time. He is claimed to be invincible because he has won many conquests and is very liked by the commoners. However, the argument that he is popular among the commoners is weak because they are very fickle. Caesar is very intelligent and observant because he can read Cassius and tell that he is dangerous. Caesar can be thought of as weak because he has epilepsy, which causes him to seizure and foam at the mouth. He is also deaf in one ear. This being said, Julius Caesar is intelligent and observant, and said to be strong or weak.

He believes that Julius is weak and a coward. In Act I, he explains how Julius in the military wasn't as powerful as he seems to be. The strom that brews up is showing as signs that something is going to happen to Julius Caesar.

Marcus Brutus
In the tragic play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" written by William Shakespeare, Marcus Brutus is a significant public figure in Rome and a general under Julius Caesar. He values honor and dignity, and carries himself with an air of wisdom - moreso than other characters - and thus, serves as a character foil for his counterpart, Cassius. He cares deeply for Caesar as a friend and companion but fears that such an ambitious dictator may not be the best for Rome as a whole. One of his flaws is that he allows himself to be too easily manipulated, especially when he feels honor and righteousness is at stake, which is evident when Cassius speaks with him and allows himself to consider turning against Caesar, who he would be loyal to.

Cassius is a character in the play "Julius Caesar", who happens to be Caesar's rival. He uses his manipulative and persuasion skills, for example, when he is talking to Brutus, on why Julius Caesar is not "immortal", as common people see Caesar to be. Cassius is able to word-out his persuasion to Brutus, by blending the subject of "honor" and the subject of Julius Caesar. He favored Pompey, the ruler before Julius, better than anybody else. Julius refused the crown, and bad signs, like lightning for example, were happening as Cassius was okay with that. Coincidentally, he really thinks the only way for Caesar not to become king is for Julius Caesar to die.

Julis Caesar Character Analysis
Cassius
Cassius is a general under Julius Caesar and despises the fact that commoners love him and think of him as a god. In the beginning, he tries persuading Brutus a man under Julius as well and begins persuading him of how he is the same as them and begins manipulating him by using the safety of Rome and how it is supposed to be free and not under one ruler. Overall his intentions build up to getting rid of Julius Caesar.

Cassius, in the play "Julius Caesar," is a persuasive general who despises Julius Caesar and how powerful he is. From act one of the play, Cassius is portrayed as a manipulative person since he tried to persuade Brutus to feel the same way he does of Caesar. Not only does Cassius try to persuade Brutus, but it is evident that he also has ill intentions towards Caesar to try to rid him of his power. And according to Caesar himself, Cassius is a dangerous observer whom he does not want to have around due to his ambitious quality. Overall, Cassius is jealous of Caesar's power, which he believes he does not deserve, and is a character in the story who will obviously cause some trouble in order to be successful in his plans to make Rome, as he says, the best it can be for the citizens.

Julius Caesar is an ambitious and determined man, which shows through his defeat of Pompey. He is also arrogant, which shows when he ignores the soothsayer that comes and tries to warn him of the "ides of March". Caesar is clever in the fact that he knows how to distinguish those who are content with what they have and those that want more, an example being Cassius, who he claims to be dangerous. This also shows his caution and selfishness for power. Although he is powerful, he also has his weaknesses, such as having epilepsy and being deaf in one ear.

Cassius is a senator who is planning on assassinating Julius. Hes perceived as a extremely dangerous man, who has no heart or joy in anything. He tries to convince Brutus into thinking that Caesar is a man of bad intention. He rants about how Caesar is a coward and he is immortal, which shows he has much hate in his life. Overall hes just a smart guy who knows when hes doing.

Cassius is one of Julius Caesar's generals who wishes Caesar ill intentions. He gets upset when people start to think of Caesar as a god, because he doesn't believe he deserves the powers he has. Cassius is a very manipulative and deceptive person who spoke to Marcus Brutus, a close friend to Caesar, and implanted bad ideas into his mind. Cassius, for now is seen as a protagonist to me, who wishes Caesar wrong and believes Caesar doesn't deserve his political status.
Marcus Antonius aka Marc Antony
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYxyuZNYHV7P-j6jM2WVWmtu6gSDpPfRvlWLNpciLbr6GVeYKi6kloAezmFnCNNLo_XY2py6d2kxU4gUgO9_ie_nY_xfhwcYWrAnlWw419cC69jm8qUxe1l-G5hFmy49yz80Pv1P5mhe4/s320/Marc+Antony.jpg)
Marcus Antonius aka Marc Antony, in the play Julius Caesar, is the most loyal person to Caesar. He is like Caesar's right hand man. We see his loyalty to Caesar during Act One, Scene 2 where he is getting ready for a race and Caesar orders him to touch Calphurnia when he is running so she can be fertile and bore a child. In lines 9-10 of this act and scene Antony says "I shall remember: When Caesar says "Do this," it is performed." after Caesar gives him the commands to touch Calphurnia.Another character trait Marc Antony has is that he is naive and he is still blossoming or he has much to learn. This shows during the same act and same scene but from lines 196-197. He was with Caesar and the other senators having conversations about things. During this time, Caesar tells Antony about how he believes Cassius is dangerous but Antony kinds of defends Cassius and says Cassius is not dangerous and he is a noble Roman who supports Caesar. Antony says this in lines 196-197, "Fear him not, Caesar, he's not dangerous; He is a noble Roman, and well given." unlike Caesar who has a clairvoyant trait of determining how people are on their looks, Marc Antony can not do that like Caesar and he believes that Cassius is loyal to Caesar even if the readers and audience knows very well that Cassius is not loyal to Caesar and he wishes that Caesar would not be crowned emperor. There is not much about Antony so far in the play that we have read but eventually as the play continues, more of Marc Antony's traits and personalities will be shown.

Cassius is a general that has come to extremely dislike the fact that Julius Caesar has become king. In fact, he is one of the conspirators against him. Cassius tries to trick Brutus into thinking the same way by telling him how Caesar is a coward and is equal in freedom and enduring the cold. Cassius is also very observant, and according to Julius Caesar, he is emotionless and dangerous. Moreover, he sees the lightning and thunder as a pleasant sign that they should get rid of Caesar.

Julius Caesar is described as great and worthy in the eyes of the common citizens, but in the eyes of more powerful people he is not ready to be king and shouldn't be in power. He is said to be weak and dishonorable due to his actions in the military. Caesar was also said to have epilepsy, a condition which causes seizures, as well as being deaf in one ear.
Brutus
Brutus was one of the conspirators against Julius Caesar. He loves caesar but fears that the commoners may choose him as king. Brutus is known as noble, loyal, and honor of Rome. Cassius conversed with brutus of caesar how weak he was and brutus was persuaded to forge letters to Caesar. We know brutus will assassinate Caesar being clandestined. there were signs such as "beware the ides of march" and prediction of the weather which will come to caesars fate.

Personal Growth
Over break, I grew as a softball player. I realized that if the more I played, the repetition would train me to do it correctly during a game. One week, I played softball every single day. I constantly went out to practice on my own, whether it was to practice my throwing, my fielding, or my batting. Batting is based on repetition; the more swings you take, the more of a chance that you get your swing down to get a hit during the game. The week I played everyday, I started a hitting streak. I had gone at least 10 games getting a hit. Those days that I didn't have any softball games, I was around a softball field. I was either watching my sister or my cousin play. Watching them play opened my eyes to specific situations that were odd. But watching them play made me realize what was the best thing to do in those situations so that the plays would go as smoothly as possible with the least amount of chaos. They aren't kidding when they say that practice makes perfect!
PERSONAL GROWTH
In the break I study for the PSAT what i concetrate more on studying was on vacabulary that mr. salazar give us in class to study . I got out all the vocabulary and review them again for the psat for the sectoin writting skills.Then I work on the reading to understand the main idea of the story and summarize it then I answer the question to see if I understand the story .I took more time more on that because when I revise it a got two questions wrong from the story most of the time it was because I wasnt reading key thing they want them to answer . Thats what i did on spring break besides being with my friends.

Personal Growth
Over fall break, I grew more as a person, an athlete, and as a daughter. Throughout the break I realized that I need to be more motivated and have more determination. I realized this through the lack of progress I've made in the sport I participate in, which is swimming. Since I am a pretty competitive person at times, I realized that I really have to push myself harder not only in practice, but in everything I do as well. And after being more motivated both in and out of the pool, I've gotten more power in my legs for kicking and improved my stamina which will definitely help me when competing in swim meets. Another personal growth that I experienced over the break was becoming a better daughter. Since I am going to have a new baby brother or sister by the end of March, I realized that I need to start being more responsible and especially more helpful around the house and with my mom. Although I did not transform into a completely different person, this personal growth over the break has made me a better person overall and made me want to try to be even better.
Personal Growth.

Personal Growth
Over the past two weeks of fall break, although it was somewhat uneventful, I could say that my personal growth would be how I became more family oriented and also learned how to manage my time better. Throughout this break I was able to spend more time with my family when my cousin and his family came for a visit for the weekend. It's been a long time since we've spent time with the whole family, so it was nice to get to spend the weekend with them. Another personal growth of mine was how I learned to manage my time more efficiently. Even with color guard practices and other things I needed to do throughout the two weeks, I was able to accomplish my goal of finishing all my homework on time, and even a little more than what I had to do. Since I have an AP class this year, it was more than what I had to do during breaks back in freshman year. But with it I learned time management, which helps to reduce stress.

Over the two week break, my hard work paid off in my cross country meet. I had improved my 5k (3.1 miles) time of 20:59 to 20:43 a 6:39 mile pace ( the .1 of a mile adds an extra 30 to 40 seconds to a normal 3 mile time). Considering that I was previously injured, I was happy that I had improved. Along with improving my time, I also learned some racing strategies. One main strategy that helped me improve was to not start out too fast. If you start too fast, you will die out at the end. You can tell that you are going too fast in the beginning if you are breathing too hard. I know for sure that will soon be able to drop my time even further.
Personal Growth
My personal growth over the two week break has been great. I have tried to specifically accomplish a certain goal and that was to increase my stamina in running. I wanted to do this because it was the one area i was lacking in my P.E. class. To improve it, I ran every day for about 10 minutes and played different types of sports like Basketball, Football, Baseball, and Soccer. By the end of break I improved but I am still determined to get better.

Throughout the two weeks of Fall break, I have began to grow in my knowledge of greek mythology and began to learn new techniques in building muscles and strength in my body while working out. It had begun due to the first week of break, all i did was sleep and i began getting very tired and i told my older brother. So my older brother began taking me to the gym everyday and i began my workout everyday and he taught me how to lift weights correctly and all. I began getting very energetic and healthier as school came closer and when I woke up for the first day of school, I didn't die of exhaustion as i would usually. This began to become part of my daily schedule to take off stress as well as being a healthy.
