Dear Random Relative,
You must have heard of the tragic death of Caesar, but you may not know the full details of how his murder came about. A brutal surprise attack came upon him by a gang of conspirators, one of them being his most trusted comrade, Brutus. Brutus’ speech at Caesar’s funeral seemed ostensibly honest and made of good intentions, but Antony’s speech had shown me the light. Brutus, being a deceiving unscrupulous man, had been trying to convince the people of Rome that he slewed Caesar for our sake. He spat out lies about Caesar trying to take advantage of his kingdom and that he was “ambitious”. Antony’s speech had timely came after Brutus’ and acquitted Caesar’s name. With intended sarcasm, he proved Brutus’ statements to be false, winning over the plebian crowd. Not only is Antony a phenomenal public speaker, but he truly believes in what is right for Rome, unlike Brutus who lies to us citizens. Caesar was not power hungry in the least bit, but he was murdered because of this false reason. Who would you follow? A kind, humble man who has good morals and believes in what is right? Or a unethical, shameless senator? I hope I can trust you to make the right choice.
Zoe
