English 2 -- Today in class, students began reading Act Three, Scene II of Julius Caesar. We saw the commoners' reaction to Brutus's explanation of Caesar's murder, and then we saw how they all changed their tune after Antony's famous speech. We then stopped in the middle of the scene to analyze the parallel structure, antithesis, and repetition in both Brutus and Antony's speeches. These important elements are what make so many great speeches throughout history memorable.
