Et tu, Brute?


That is what I remember my tenth grade English teacher explaining to me when I asked her if she liked Julius Caesar.

We just watched the BBC version today in class. The Calpurnia dream isn't nearly as dramatic as the Charlton Heston version. I like it when she screams and runs to tell Caesar her premonition.

You know how sometimes you just sit there and ponder something when you see it again in a new way? That is how I was when they bathed their hands in Caesar's blood.

The smart students with the higher test scores listen and read along with the text. The others complain it is too hard.
