Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of julius caesar.

brutus. be patient till the last.
romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that you may hear. believe me
for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
you may believe. censure me in your wisdom, and
awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
if there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
caesar’s, to him i say that brutus’ love to caesar
was no less than his. if then that friend demand
why brutus rose against caesar, this is my
not that i loved caesar less, but that i loved
rome more.

antony. friends, romans, countrymen, lend me
your ears.
i come to bury caesar, not to praise him.
the evil that men do lives after them;
the good is oft interrèd with their bones.
so let it be with caesar. the noble brutus
hath told you caesar was ambitious.
if it were so, it was a grievous fault,
and grievously hath caesar answered it.
here, under leave of brutus and the rest—
for brutus is an honourable man,
so are they all, all honourable men—
come i to speak in caesar’s funeral.
he was my friend, faithful and just to me.

how does brutus’s reason for giving his monologue compare to antony’s reason for giving his?

both brutus and antony explain that they are there to discuss why caesar’s death benefits the people of rome.
brutus explains that he wants to talk about caesar’s honor, while antony says that he wants to talk about caesar’s misgivings.
both brutus and antony say that they feel compelled to speak about caesar because he was their friend, and they both loved him dearly.
brutus announces that he wants to explain why he killed caesar, while antony says that he is simply there to give caesar a proper burial.

Read the excerpt from "how i learned english.” and that was important, as important as joe barone asking me how i was through his tears, picking me up and dusting me off with hands like swatters, what does the imagery in the excerpt best readers picture? the awful stinging sensation of being dusted off the quick slapping motion of joe’s hands how roughly the speaker is pulled off the ground how loud and hard joe is laughing
