If I were Brutus I would want the better good of Rome, but I would also want to keep a good friend of mine. From the play, I can't really see this "GREAT" friendship neither of them have confronted themselves up until now, I don't really know HOW strong this friendship is and that's why I' d probably choose for the better good of Rome, and try pushing Caesar away. I wouldn't even know know what would be going on inside Cassius' head, I'd just follow Cassius, as he would bribe me and I could end up killing Caesar, not achieving ANY power and letting CASSIUS be king!

The Leaders of 8th Grade

I'd think that a good leader would be one who would have a good reason for people to follow he or she, one that strongly believes in the group and one that could explain what they mean when they are convincing another to join the group. In our grade, 8th Grade, I would think that the leaders of todays 8th grade would be Aysha because she always leading a class or an essembly. She also isn't afraid of being who she wants to be in front of strangers

Case Studies in imperialism

Imperialism started when more larger; more powerful countries wanted to dominate countries that were smaller and weaker because for one they were all craving for something that could make a profit or is wealthiest for their country for example, South East Asia got dominated by the west because of it's fertile land. yes, SE Asia's Land was so fertile you could double or even triple crop during a year.Also many of the outcomes or changed made were positive too, for example, India's textiles industry jumped up rapidly because England no longer dominated India and even thanks to Ghandi getting shot. Speaking of getting shot, the world is getting more and more violent by day. Almost all of Middle East, India , SE Asia, and Africa got dominated by means of violence or force, Middle East got dominated by war or signing contracts.

Goals for Q2

My goals for the first quarter were to earn a A- and to improve my writing skills. I think I've improved a bit in my writing skills but I guess I missed the small things like portfolio snapshots that really got my grades down.

                                                                    This quarter(quarter 2) I would like to improve my reading skills, because apparently I am pretty slllooooooww, I only read like 100 pages a day! Along with that, I'd probably still want to continue revising my writing skills.
