Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 1, of julius caesar. octavius. come, antony, away! defiance, traitors, hurl we in your teeth. if you dare fight to-day, come to the field. if not, when you have stomachs. what is the most likely reason shakespeare chose the word hurl rather than throw? hurl foreshadows a gathering windstorm preceding the battle. hurl suggests a more violent and powerful motion or action. hurl describes how some people are pushed toward something. hurl emphasizes octavius’s uncertainty about the battle.

The answer is: Hurl suggests a more violent and powerful motion or action.

Hurl means to throw something with great force. Throw, on the other hand, means to propel something with force through the air by a movement of the hand and arm.

In the excerpt from Act 5, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Octavius challenges the traitors to fight in the field that day or whenever they have the courage. As a consequence, the use of the word hurl has a more powerful effect.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
