The Moral Dilemma of Brutus

Brutus wants the best of Rome. He will do almost anything to give Rome the best things. He wants Rome to not be run by one person but by the senate. Then there is Caesar. He is Brutus' best friend and is part of a high form of society. He has been going up the ranks of Judge to general to leader. He is slowly going towards being the outright king of Rome. This is not in Brutus' best interests and is wondering what he is going to have to do about his friend. As Brutus thinks Rome should be run by the Senate, Caesar is trying to be the ruler by himself. Then Cassius come along and says he thinks that Caesar is a lesser man and is not right to rule. This is when Brutus comes into a Moral Dilemma.
If I was in Brutus' shoes I would turn Cassius and his followers into Caesar for conspiracy to kill. I would do this because the plan to kill Caesar is wrong. In the book Brutus does feel some grief about the plan for his friend but he is more concerned about Rome. I would save Caesar and try and change Caesar's idea about the exclusion of the Senate. This solves all the problems and I think it helps everyone.

quarter 2 goals

One of my goals is to be able to do my homework better. I lost a lot of my points on first quarter because i got bad marks on my homework. I think if I could work better independently then i could be a much better student.
Another one of my quarter two goals is that i should be more consistent. Most of my grades were either low or high none of them were in the middle. I want to stop getting so many low grades and try and concentrate on being more consistent. I think this is one of my major working points.
Another thing I should is study more on tests. On the main test for the entire quarter I got a bad score so I think I would be able to do better if i studied more
