Analysis on Julius Caesar Assignment | Online Assignment

Good morning all,
Now that we have finished Julius Caesar, (bravo) we are going to write an essay. It is critical that you do your own work on this, and that you do not copy and paste any information from the internet. Essays count as tests, and none of you need a zero (it would absolutely kill your average and make it very difficult to recover). So, take it one day at a time, and know that I am here to help you if you need it.

You are to choose ONE of the following prompts, and write a 500-1,000 word essay. This is the only time that you may not write more than 1,000 words. Your essay needs to be:
Properly formatted
Heading that includes:
Your name
Teacher’s name
Class period
Date
Title
Paragraph structure
Indented paragraphs
Do not skip a whole line between paragraphs; only “enter” once.
500-1,000 words
If it’s on the lower side, closer to 500, make sure it is quality writing. This is not a quick assignment.
Introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion
1-inch margins
Double spaced
Times New Roman font, size 12

If you do outside research, you must include a Works Cited page that shows your sources. If you include outside information in your essay without a citation, it is plagiarism and you will receive a failing grade. Every student MUST have the book cited after their essay. Here is the citation:

Consider Brutus’s actions. Is he right to join the conspiracy against Caesar? What are his reasons? Does he choose to join the conspiracy, or is he tricked by Cassius? How do Cassius’s motivations compare to Brutus’s? Are they more noble or less noble?
Introduction
Topic sentence: This is a hook; it should draw your reader in.
It’s probably better to be killed by a rattlesnake that’s most likely to bite you or is it better to keep it in the event where the venom can most likely save a life.
Thesis Statement: Remember, thesis statements are simply the beginning to an argument. An example would be: Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the best type of sandwich because they are versatile, easy to make, and taste good. Notice how I state my topic, declare my argument (they’re the best) and then I give reasons as to why, which will be outlined in my body paragraphs.
Brutus was wrong with his decision to conspire against Caesar because his actions stand from lies and false information due to lack understanding of the hatred behind the plot.
Body Paragraph 1
Topic Sentence: Cassius motives aren’t as honorable as Brutus. He had absolutely no truelove for Rome and he was driven by hatred.
Supporting evidence: Cassius faked the letters. Cassius tricked Brutus because people looked up to Brutus and he saw an opportunity. He knew if Brutus was on his side people would feel that their actions to kill caesar were condoned. This is because of the fact that all of rome viewed Brutus as a morally righteous person.
Supporting evidence: Brutus said that they killed Caesar simply because he was a dangerous person because he wanted to have complete control over Rome.
Concluding statement: In time Cassius proved to be more dangerous than Caesar.
Body Paragraph 2:
Topic Sentence: Brutus cared deeply for Rome and he let fear get in the way of his judgement, which then led to him making the decision to join the conspiracy even though he didnt investigate all of Cassius motives.
Supporting evidence: When Brutus and Cassius first talked in the story, Cassius was telling Brutus that he would rather die than worship someone like himself. He also told Brutus to not be suspicious of his statements.
Supporting evidence: Cassius also felt as though Caesar was unfit to have such a role because of his physical and moral inadequacies.
Concluding statement: Cassius was creating doubt in Brutus’s mind about Caesar’s rights to rule.
Body Paragraph 3: (if you do not have a third, skip this).
Topic Sentence:
Supporting evidence:
Supporting evidence:
Concluding statement:
Conclusion
Finishing arguments
Restate your thesis in a new, creative way:
Brutus was sure of doing the right thing for people that he put his trust in the hands of the people who didn’t understand that Rome had truly changed with the death of Pompey.
