Marc Antony

Marc Antony was a loyal noble to Julius Ceasar. He was very outgoing and open. He ran naked and that show how confident he is. Antony is a naive man who only sees what nothing short from obvious. When it comes to Julius Ceasar he is very supportive and tells Ceasar everything that he wants to hear. He is a striking handsome young man who Ceasar is relying on to help him and his wife in bearing children. Antony is trustworthy and a good guy.

Cassius



In Act 1 we see that much of Cassius and his type of character. He is an ambitious determined person. We know this through his persistant tries to persuade Brutus into thinking getting rid of Caesar is best. He even changes the minds of 2 other noblemen. This also makes him untrustworthy for turning his back on the ruler of Rome. He is superstitious for believing that the thuderstorm is some sort of sign. He seems a bit jealous of Caesar, and thinks that Caesar should not be crowned ruler, comparing him to a girl and noting time when Caear needed help when drowning. All in all, Cassius is an ambitious, jealous, and peruading character.

Cassius



Cassius is the main character presented in act 1. He is important because Shakepeare utilizes Cassius to set the play where the conspiracy begins. He is portrayed as a great observer, sly, and intelligent. Also he may be even more ambitious than Caesar in the way he is portrayed in act 1. Cassius uses convincing arguments to make others join his conspiracy against Caesar. In one of his monologues, he refers Caesar as a sick girl and a weak ruler in order to brainwash Brutus. Along with Shakespeare's use of natural disaster: storm, Cassius is seem to be a dangerous character in this play.

Marcus Brutus


Marcus Brutus is introduced as a noble, honorable Roman citizen. His character is not quite developed yet in Act I but he is portrayed as a man who truly cares about the good of Rome. As a character foil for Antony, he is not as carefree and he keeps his thoughts to himself. His judgement towards Julius Caesar's growing power has been conflicting because even though he is a close friend of Caesar's, his concern for Rome's future leads him to question Caesar's nobility. He is a very intelligent man because no matter how much Cassius tries to manipulate him, he is not easily swayed by others' opinion.

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.

Marcus Antonius



Marcus Antonious, better known as Marc Antony, in the play by William Shakespeare "Julius Caesar", is shown to be Caesar's right-hand man as well as Brutus' character foil. We know this because at the begining of Scene 2, Antony replies to a request man by Caesar, saying " I shall remember: When Caesar says "Do this", it is preformed", this shows Antony is loyal to Caesar. And we know he is the character foil to Brutus when he says " I am not gamesome: I lack some part Of that quick spirit that is Antony". But Antony is also very naive, when Caesar voices his concern of Cassius, Antony tells Caesar not to worry that Cassius is a honorable man of Rome.

Cassius


Cassius is a character in the play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" that dislikes Caesar. His character is describe as an owl because he is quiet and observant of his surroundings. 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 -


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.

Cassius

In the play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", Cassius is a general who abhors the power and admiration of Caesar. His jealousy and ambition to drive out of his power is what brings thrills and an evil twist in the story. In Act 1 he is portrayed as an observant and persuasive man that Julius finds dangerous and hungers for power. He tries to manipulate Brutus during a conversation and says that Caesar is not worthy enough for being seen as a god and does not deserve power. Throughout the play he seems to have his mindset on doing what ever it takes for Caesar to fall.

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar. The general of Rome about to be crowned king.  He is obviously very intelligent and strategic to get to the position he is at, but his new found power sparks jealousy in his political peers.  Cassius accuses him of being weak and unworthy of ruling Rome.  Caesar's arrogance forces him to refuse to admit that he is intimidated by the threat, but he is sure to avoid his antagonist as much as possible.  On the contrary, Caesar is considered "weak" due to his condition of epilepsy and deafness in one ear. We can see his superstitious side when he commands Marc Antony to run naked in the festive races and touch his wife, Calphurnia, to make her fertile.  Even though he is superstitious, his arrogance overcomes this trait when he ignores the fortune teller that predicts Caesar's assassination.

Cassius



Cassius is one of the characters from "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" written by William Shakespeare. Cassius is described as a dangerous person by Caesar. Cassius doesnt like Caesar and so he wants him to die. In act I, there are bad signs happening showing that Caesar will die. Casca, another character, is frightened by this but Cassius isnt scared, he doesnt see it as something bad, he sees it as fate, fate in that caesar will finally die.

Julis Caesar Character Analysis

        Julius Caesar is a Roman general who posses the the traits of being suspicious and smart even though he has a condition of falling sickness which is also known as epilepsy. One example of him being suspicious is when he knew not to trust people such as Cassius because he poses a threat to his authority. This is ironic since Cassius interprets the natural disasters as a sign to do something about Julius Caesars overwhelming fame and authority. In addition, in Act 1 scene 2 line 193 he said, "Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look" This shows that he would rather have fat people to serve the position of his officials rather than have skinny people that are hungry for power so he will not be overthrown or assassinated.

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


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


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


Cassius is a character in the play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" that dislikes Caesar and his right to rule. He is an observational character and is considered dangerous by Julius Caesar. In act 1, he explains how Julius Caesar is not powerful as he may see because he has called for help from Cassius several times. Also in act 1, during a thunderstorm, Cassius is not afraid and is happy to believe that it is sign of Julius Caesar's death.

Cassius


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


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


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



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


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.

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar was described as Rome's general that was given a lot of power. Caesar was beginning to be classified as a dictator or a tyrant when he returned home to Rome. Julius Caesar was also becoming very over-confident of himself and people started to think he was not worthy of the glory and attention he was receiving. Some of his friends such as Cassius and Brutus agreed that Caesar was not fit to become King when the time would come. Caesar also became suspicious when terrible signs began to occur that would interfere with his fate.


Julius 

Mark Antony



Mark Antony was an important supporter of Julius Caesar during his reign. Antony was a very loyal person in the play. He was a very naive character only because he does not see that Cassius is a threat to Caesar. So far, Antony has been a very fickle character in the play. He lacks the ability to see the true colors of Cassius, while Caesar tries telling him all about Cassius. This can be seen in Act 1, Scene 2 when Caesar's clairvoyance about Cassius to Antony.

Marcus Brutus

Brutus is a man who prefers not to engage in physical activity, but to think and not be game some making him the character foil for Mark Anthony who is lively and athletic. Brutus is full of virtue, honor, and loyalty to Rome and is worried that Ceaser, at first being just a normal man who also shook and was like a little girl and almost drowned, is suddenly arising to the status of a God with the praise and acceptance of all the fickle minded commoners. The audience knows he will assassinate Ceaser but no other character knows it other than him, but others can predict it by the weather and the mood of the scene.

Julius Caeser

Julius Caeser is a person who was offered to become king three times yet rejected it. Many people including cassius think caeser is a bossy, arogant, selfish person. Caeser claims that he sees "hunger" in cassius eyes meaning that he is skinny, because caeser likes to associate with fat, and unintellegent people to make himself look better to everyone. In the end Caesar is supposobly assainated for the best of rome.

Cassius

Cassius is a general that works for Julius Caesar and hates how the people are beginning to see Caesar as a god. He gives a long monologue to Brutus explaining how Caesar is a coward and doesn't deserve the crown. Cassius is very good at manipulating words to make others look bad. He also persuaded Brutus to send forged letters to Caesar claiming that the commoners wish to see him dead. Cassius is a very opportunistic person who will do anything to stop others from reaching a higher rank than himself.

Micah Jae

During break I had grown as an individual because I helped out my church and grew closer to my church. During this time we had a bazar and I spent long tiring hours helping setup and the second day I helped run booths. I painted with our preist, helped build booths, move chairs and tables, and decorate the booths. Altogether it was a memorable experience. I would no doubt want to help out atgain every year. It brought me closer to my church family. I cant wait for next year!

Personal Growth

During the two weeks of fall break, I grew as a person, especially as a student. I learned to put the procrastination aside and get all my work done before break ended. It took a lot for me to set my plans aside with family and friends for the homework. Usually, I end up working on my homework last minute, but this time I wanted to enjoy my break, without having to worry about it the night before. After the homework done early, it felt good to enjoy my break. It felt like I had a weight lifted off my shoulders!

Personal Growth



This fall break allowed me to get close to my mom. Before the break me and my mom had a distant relationship we did talk much just the usual hi and bye and "can i go to...". This fall break I went on a mother daughter trip to El Rosario, Sinaloa,Mexico that is where my mom is from. We had so much fun together and we pretty much became friends me and her just bonded. Also during this break i learned to organize my time for HW that i had due after break instead of just doing it last minute like I usually would have. Although I still had a little bit of homework to do the weekend before break ended. This fall break also allowed me to grow, I would say that I learned to face my fears.

Personal Growth

During the fall break, I grew as a student as I learned to manage my time more with my homework. I learned not to cram all my work on the last two days and to do my work in short sessions over time in two weeks. I learned not to procrastinate for so long otherwise I would be doing all my homework in the last few days before break. I also realized that I should step up my game when It comes to grades because I only have around eight weeks to get it back to my straight A's.

Personal Growth




Over break, I grew more as a person and an athlete. As I person I realized that I need to be more helpful and thankful for the scarafices my mom does for me each and everyday. I need to start being more organized and responsible in both academics and what I do at home. I grew though by not having my mom remind me of what to do each day and knowing what I should be doing. As an athelete I have realized that I am easily tempered. By this I mean that if I miss something it is really hard to shake off, especially during a volleyball match against a team. This can really make me upset. But over break I have been trying not to be upset and get better. Also I have seen myself trying to be a leader for the team. Although I don't talk much or sound like a leader I am still growing into becoming that leader at which my teamates can see.

Personal Growth

Over the break, I was basically working. I had to do a back to back concert at the cricket amphitheater with the Blink 182 show, Journey, and the Uproar festival I was always working. Since I was doing more i had to take on more responsibilities with the counts and with leading to help out. I also had a more self analyses with my self over break I learned new things about myself and accepted somethings I thought I couldn't accept. All in all i had a good break I feel like I grow up a little more and that I also took a new perspective of myself.

Personal Growth















Although fall break seemed to fly by, I did not spend two weeks simply doing nothing, but instead I found that I had grown. Recently my parents have noticed that I have become more independent and mature due to the fact that my mom had gotten injured recently and instead of her taking care of me I found myself having to take care of her. I acquired new chores and new responsibilities and in the begining I found it was difficult getting used to doing more, but I grew new respect for my mom and relized just how much she does not only for me, but my whole family.

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

Throughout my break, i spent more time with my family because i never really spend that much time with them and during my break it brought me a lot closer to them. We did things like spent time with my grandparents, went out to places together and basically did more family things. If we didn't go out we would just stay home cook, and watch some movies. During break i also knew how to manage my time wisely like getting chores done, and doing homework that was due when break was over. Im glad we had this break because it brought me close to my family, and made my manage my time wisely.

personal growth



Over the break, though not engaged in physical activities, i improved my mental skills by practicing psat. Getting countless incorrect answers taught me where i needed to work on. Especially the critical reading was the most harsh out of others. Also the break taught me how procastination is helpless. The break, meant to blow off some steam, actually exhausted my brain by doing homework the entire day. These taught me how to spend my break more effectively. I hope to spend my winter break without regretting.

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.


Over the break, I felt like I really achieved a lot. I basically spent the whole break with Natural Vibes and we were able to put on our own show at Eastlake's performing arts center. We were able to finish a lot of things for the show and we all felt like we did a great job. We oversold at our very first show and it felt amazing to have the crowd cheering for us while we were on stage. I felt like I grew as a person and a dancer mainly because I was able to really contribute for my team and I felt closer to them than before. I also felt like my athletic abilities grew because of the many times we conditioned and ran the medleys. Overall this break was a very refreshing break and I feel like I grew a lot from it.

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.

Personal Growth

Over the past 2 weeks of break I personally grew more independent and family orientated. The first week I spent most of my time at home taking care of my brother while my parents were busy working double time. My family and I grew a big gap with trust due to a personal and family issue the past few months but throughout break that gap started to patch up a bit. To regain my family's trust I grew more responsible at home and for myself. Instead of going out with friends I devoted my time with family and volunteered at my church's yearly festival. I started going to church more often since I wasn't as connected to my faith as I used to be. My little brother and I grew distant as we both became attached to technology and the use of the internet but every once in a while I took him out to the park and bought him frozen yogurt. The second week of break I went on a cruise. I also grew more family orientated as I spent my week hanging out with my whole family. On the cruise however I gained some trust and independence by going to this teen club which enabled me to leave late at night and socialize with other teens on the ship. My parents trusted me to join this club and it was quite the experience to meet new people and do things away from family and on my own. I learned a lot throughout this break and hope to maintain it.

Personal Growth



Over the two week break, I realized that I had to teach myself to not procrastinate. I didn't realize until the 2nd week that I had quite a lot of homework to do. I knew I had to do something about my laziness because I did not want to end up loading myself up at the last minute. I prepared a mental schedule for myself: half a chapter of AP history notes and 2 reading selections and rhetorical precis from the reading packet. I was able to divide up my time wisely just enough to still be able to have free time to enjoy the rest of break. Fortunately, plan worked and I was able to finish everything with extra days to spare. I am proud of myself for being able to accomplish my goal and I will aim to do even better in the future.

Personal Growth

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.

Personal Growth


Over the fall break, I have grown mentally in motivation and curiosity. I grew motivation from boxing for the past 2 weeks, because my coach was pushing me farther and farther every time I came to boxing practice, and I kept my head up in motivation to become the best boxer I can be. Secondly, I grew mentally in curiosity because I explored on Google Maps, and zoomed into islands that I have never even heard of! Every time I could remember, I researched every foreign island nobody pays attention to, that I could find. I grew curious about how the geography features on each island looked like, and I also wandered on the kinds of people, if any, who lived on, for example, the Marshall Islands.

Personal Growth



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.
