What Brutus mean when he says “And therefore think him as a serpent's egg, Which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous.”, is that once Caesar becomes great, and reaches his full power, no one will be able to stop him.

Explanation:

According to Brutus, the rulers abuse their power if they have no compassion.

Although he knows that Caesar has never let his emotions outweigh reason, he is afraid that being so young, he will be carried away by power and turn his back on those who supported him. At this point, he does not know how Caesar would act.

That is why he uses the example of the "snake's egg", who once it leaves the shell becomes very dangerous. Therefore, it must be destroyed before that happens.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
