Song/Lyrics Assignment
This video relates to our topic betrayal because in this video, Bruno Mars is singing about how he'll go through all the pain and suffering for a girl he loves, but she wouldn't do the same for him. He felt betrayed by her because he had seen her with another guy and so he was hurt by the girl he once loved.
In the play, Julius Caesar, Cassius and the other conspirators plot against Julius Caesar by planning to betray and kill Caesar. Cassius immidiately stated to Brutus - in Act 1 - that Caesar wasn't the right man to be crowned king, since he concluded that Caesar is falling ill. He also stated to Brutus that he, Cassius, had rescued Caesar from the river and explains how Caesar doesn't act like a man. He tries to convince Brutus - whom he knows that Brutus and Caesar are close friends - to come to their side by giving him a letter which was sent by Casca which had stated a certain date, March 15 - as it was first heard when the Soothsayer told Caesar, "Beware the Ides of March" - and that Cassius would meet with Brutus at Brutus' house, along with the other conspirators.

Your song analysis is effective. I also enjoyed your group's haikus and recipe. I think you definitely were getting the purpose of the recipe assignment, but I found myself wishing that you would've taken it a step further by incorporating more detail from the play.
ReplyDeleteI love the song grenade by Bruno Mars and I feel that you picked a good song for your topic and really explained how it relates.
