Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar. How does Brutus's reason for giving his monologue
compare to Antony's reason for giving his?
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.
O Both Brutus and Antony explain that they are there to
discuss why Caesar's death is the best thing for all of
Rome.
O Brutus explains that he wants to talk about the
consipirators' faults, while Antony says that he wants
to talk about Caesar's faults.
O Both Brutus and Antony say that they feel compelled
to speak about Caesar because they both loved him
dearly and regret that he is dead.
O Brutus announces that he wants to explain that he
killed Caesar because he loved Rome, while Antony
says that he has come to bury Caesar.
ANTONY. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me
your ears.
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
