Bobby continues to diligently complete his independent reading of Shakespeare and to respond to study guide questions. He evidenced good comprehension in today's assignment recognizing why Brutus and Cassius must flee Rome after Antony's funeral oration. We then continued to analyze Antony's funeral oration by noting the adept use of rhetorical devices and irony . We also placed in the virtual notebook a comparison between the idealistic Brutus and the power hungry ,Cassius, followed by Bobby's locating in the text examples of Caesar's unbridled arrogance which we also incorporated into our class notes. For homework finish scene III, read Act IV scene 1 and answer two study guide questions.
