A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

My shakespeare Duet with Wen Cheng
For my duet I chose to use the lines 31-75
Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home?
What tributaries follow him to Rome,
To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?
You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,
Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft
Have you climb'd up to walls and battlements,
To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops,
Your infants in your arms, and there have sat
The livelong day, with patient expectation,
To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome:
And when you saw his chariot but appear,
Have you not made an universal shout,
That Tiber trembled underneath her banks,
To hear the replication of your sounds
Made in her concave shores?
And do you now put on your best attire?
And do you now cull out a holiday?
And do you now strew flowers in his way
That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood? Be gone!
Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
That needs must light on this ingratitude.
FLAVIUS
Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault,
Assemble all the poor men of your sort;
Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears
Into the channel, till the lowest stream
Do kiss the most exalted shores of all.
Exeunt all the Commoners
See whether their basest metal be not moved;
They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
Go you down that way towards the Capitol;
This way will I
disrobe the images,
If you do find them deck'd with ceremonies.
MARULLUS
May we do so?
You know it is the feast of Lupercal.
FLAVIUS
It is no matter; let no images
Be hung with Caesar's trophies. I'll about,
And drive away the vulgar from the streets:
So do you too, where you perceive them thick.
These growing feathers pluck'd from Caesar's wing
Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men
And keep us all in servile fearfulness. "
Me and Wen cheng chose this passage because it sets the whole conflict of the play and gives the reader/audience a sneak preveiw of what is to look forward to in the play. I think it gives an isight into the conflict of the story because it is right at the beginning and it introduces the idea of mutiny and conspiracy to the reader/audience.
This is Murellus talking to Flavius and a crowd of people telling them of how they are fickle and how Himself and Flavius can sabotage Caesar's arrival.
"MARULLUS

My Learning Profile
While reading the booklet I found out that I learn best when I use a lot of movement during class to help me learn best and help me focus more, I also learned that I am a gestalt learner and i need to have a lot of Visuals while concentrating to help me remember and focus on my work.
The strategy's that help me in my learning are if I Read aloud and do things that cross both sides of my brain like writing knitting and drawing with my left hand and if I massage my temporal mandibular joint. The reason that crossing over both sides of my brain is good for my learning is because it helps activate both sides of my brain and lets me focus on the task at hand more.
I would like my teacher to know that I prefer to Imagine that end result like maybe seeing a finished example of the piece of work that we are focussing on instead of doing what we usually do by having a step by step instructions regarding the piece of work.

1632 oil Painting
I think That This Painting Shows what was going on In the Renaissance because The Renaissance was all about the rediscovery or discovery of new Knowledge and here are all these scientists discovering about the human anotamy by disecting a dead humans are wich was prohibited by the church around this time
As you can see in the painting all the men are sorounding the one man who is leading the Disection of that dead mans arm. All the Men sorrounding the Main leader are all looking intrested and by this I have made the Infrence that they are scientists because they are either practicing or Observing the Scientific Process of Disection.
The Man Is holding tools that he Is using to disect the dead body.This Painting tells me that the life in this period of time was very exiting because all this new knowledge is being discovered by people like these daring Scientists.The Renaissance was a Intresting time period filled with Scientits loking for answers.
