Hey fellas, I haven't gotten a chance to read my free reading book for a while so I'm deciding to blog about Julius Caesar. The dialogue is a bit difficult to understand but I'm enjoying it quite so. My favorite part of the play so far is when the commoners are in the streets celebrating Caesar's return and Pompey's delegates confront them and the cobbler pops all these puns off to them. I like how Shakespeare contributed some sort of humor to his all of his plays even in the smallest bit so that none of them had a dull moment when the drama was running a bit low, he put a laugh in. We had seen a little bit of the movie and by the way Caesar carries himself and talks in third person all the time, it makes me think he was full of himself. He also fed off of the love the people showed him**,** like it seems the people //wanted// him to be their king which is ironic because they wanted democracy. I'm not saying he wasn't a great leader in his time for the fact Rome prospered quite well. When the conspirators killed him off because they felt he would take the crown and they didn't want a king, so I see this as a lose lose situation because a life was lose, a great life of Julius Caesar and the land of Rome fell into a depression after that. To me, that's just one big mess right there. That's it for today, Stay wise.

Hey there! I finally got to the library, I think last week. I got this new book called __The Opposite Of Music__**.** It's about a boy whose father is becoming ill and his family just ignores everyone to the extent of helping him get better. I thought this was interesting because I don't know if I could just ignore everyone and commit only to my father. If I were in that situation I'd reach out to other people and ask for help. I'd also let God have his way with whatever he wanted, I'd ask him for help and commit to him and my father. Right now I'm at the point where Danny brings his new friend, Will home and Danny's dad is pacing the house like he's looking for something. He ignores both of them as they walk through the door which is unusual to Danny because he never does that. I think his father is getting alzheimer's disease, like maybe he was looking for something and he just forgot where he put it and then all of a sudden he just forgot what he was looking for. Well that's about it for right now. Stay wise.

I have finished __Waiting for Teddy Williams__ and I haven't gotten a chance to make it to the library yet to choose a different book. I'm not going to lie I wasn't all that enthused while reading my previous book, I mean don't get me wrong I love baseball and everything about it the book was just too slow for me. I hope to find a book that starts off with suspense because I like a book that won't let me put it down and it just keeps me thinking.

Hey there, AJ here. I've been reading __Waiting for Teddy Williams__ written by Howard Frank Mosher. From my previous blog, the story is about a boy named E.A. who loves baseball at a young age and idols the Boston Red Sox. Further down the line he meets this stranger that shares the same interest and teaches E.A. the finer points about the sport so he can excel in what he loves. This is interesting to me because it makes me think about how the younger generation always seems to think that they know everything but then all of a sudden some stranger shows up and starts talking about things you've never even heard of. So this is getting you all flustered and mad,
