Milo began to think as hard as he could (which was very difficult, since he wasn't used to it). He thought of birds that swim an

d fish that fly. He thought of yesterday's lunch and tomorrow's dinner. He thought of words that began with J and numbers that end in 3. And, as he thought, the wheels began to turn. "We're moving, we're moving," he shouted happily. "Keep thinking," scolded the watchdog. —The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster In this passage, the word wheels has a literal meaning and an idiomatic meaning. Explain how the meanings differ.

Which statement best compares the last remarks in the two monologues?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Brutus creates closure, whereas Antony stimulates anger.

Explanation:

The two monologues in question are from Act III scene ii of the play "The Tragedy Of Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare. The two monologues are from the scene where Brutus had addressed the people after the death of Caesar and Antony had also came to view the body. He then addressed the people right after the exit of Brutus.

The last remarks of the two monologues are-

Brutus remarks that he wants the people to pay their respects to Caesar and told the, that Antony will address the people. After giving his leave, he exit and from there Antony began his speech.

Whereas, Antony's speech details the goodness and wholehearted sacrifice of Caesar for his people. The "over ambitious" nature that Brutus accused Caesar of, was what led him to be a great leader for his whole acts and aims was for the good of his people. He even mentioned that Caesar had written in his will that the people of Rome are to be his inheritors.

Thus, the two monologues that the two leaders gave after the death of Caesar are quite different in that, Brutus' monologue creates closure for everyone, not only himself. He accepts the death of Caesar and implores the people to do so too. But Antony's monologue rather stimulates anger in the people.

allochka39001 [22]

On Plato, the answer is *There will be time, there will be time. To prepare a face to meet the faces you meet.* and *They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"etc...*

This is because he is imagining what they are going to say to him, giving off a feeling of self-doubt.
