Stereotypes – Media? Government?

Social pressure s you have

Positive representations of teens

Your aspirations and how you will succeed

Persuasive devices

I don’t think it is right for the media/government to class all teenagers as lazy slobs because most teenagers are physically active and most are working and making something of their life.

The social pressures us teenagers have are the pressures which make us NOT lazy slobs because our parents would tell us to go shop, pick something up, do chores or go visit someone in our family which can make us do a lot of exercise by walking, cycling etc.

Definition of lazy is – Unwilling to work or use energy. — I don’t think teenagers are lazy because we use our energy everyday its hard for a teenager not to go out and walk around and explore we are always up and about we always make movement even if its just going to the shops.

Definition of slob is – A person who is lazy and has low standards of cleanliness. — I don’t think teenagers are slobs because we have high standards of cleanliness i.e. when we go out we always have a wash have or clothes nicely presented.

Fate is presented in Julius Caesar by cassius and Brutus trying to avoid fate by killing themselves before the civil war killed them because they got other people to kill them so they go heaven because if you commit suicide you go to hell not heaven so they tried to cheat fate by getting others to kill them.

Cassius makes a remark from the quote ‘Then, if we lost this battle’. This could mean if we lose this battle we will die and we will look like cowards by following fate instead of being smart and greater by cheating/avoiding fate.

The fate in that quote is that they are thinking ahead of fate by thinking one step ahead which if by thinking if they lose this war or get killed during the war fate would’ve won and they wouldve lost the war and be treated and thought as cowards.

The quote ‘For fear of what might fall, so to prevent The time of life: arming myself with patience’. This quote is saying how they are going to prevent something which is fate they are going to prevent fate by arming themselves with patience and when the patience is over and lost they will do something (get someone to kill them). Also in this quote Brutus said he is going to arm himself with patience which means just wait to find out what happens during now and then.

A part of fate could be when Caesar should’ve listened to his wife when she said don’t go out because I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen there will be pools of blood from the fountain your blood So if Caesar never went out he wouldn’t have been killed by the conspirators.

Shakespeare has linked all the characters to fate like how cassius had been born on the day he had been killed this is fate because it is unusual for yourself to die on your born day.

When Caesar says “the skies are painted with unnumber’d sparks” He could be saying that fate is like the sparks because sparks don’t last long and they disappear quickly, Caesar says that fate does not last long and it can disappear instantly.

This scene is talking about how Brutus and cassius camp is and if they should draw apart and attack start a civil war (there is also a lot of swearing in this part I.E the word HO) they are also talking about their doubts and if they should split apart of nah Brutus also speaks a lot maybe more than me by yeah that my scene summary on act 4 scene 2

Scene summary

Act 4 scene 1

They are talking another cinna the poet who they put down to the floor or something because Antony octavius and lepidus thought that Cinna the poet was cinna the conspirator. It is a los taking about how publius must die and how they Will do it and where.

the crowd is going mental because the Antony has turned to public against Brutus. The public is looking for blood and they want to probably burn him from the quotation “burn him burn”

Scene 3 Act 2

Antony has brought out Caesar body onto the stage in front of the Romans and countrymen. Every one shouts of “live Brutus live live.”. Antony keeps on saying he was an honourable man and he was ambitious to the crowd (Antony is talking about Caesar). Antony talks about how he is here to bury Caesar not to praise him and in his speech he just speaks mostly about Caesar. The plebs say that there is a nobler man than Antony In my opinion the plebs are talking about Caesar. The plebs are also making Antony read the will but he doesnt so it builds up tension in the crowd. Antony also make everyone turn against Brutus he also makes everyone think him and Caesar are noble men not Brutus.

the difference between appearance explicit and reality implicit is that they are different words spelt differently.

IMPLICIT:
suggested or understood without being directly stated. To imply is to suggest rather than to state. An incident can imply an idea that would otherwise have to be stated.

EXPLICIT:
clear, precise, definitely stated, plain to see. A good writer who uses explicit nouns and verbs will not have to rely too heavily on adjectives and adverbs.
