Et tu, Bruté?

On Friday, I got to take a wonderful multiple choice test on The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. It was a 40 question test, and it was AWFUL! First off, many of the questions, more than one answer would have worked. For example…
Caesar’s last words . . .
A. showed Caesar knew he should have died
B. shows Caesar and Brutis’ friendship
C. showed Caesar’s anger and suprise at Brutis’ betrayl
D. showed he could have survived if Brutis has not stabbed him.
I chose B because it seemed right to me. Then after the test was over, I supposidly missed 10 questions. (Many of which were correct but the moron who graded my test (it was student graded), counted a bunch wrong, that were in fact correct. Then the ones that were wrong, I went up and literally argued with her for about an hour as to why they should have been correct. I think I got a good portion of them back, but who knows. It was quite funny actually, she turned a really bright shade of red and looked as though she was ready to strangle me. 
Anyways, earlier today we wrote an essay on one of the tragic heros of the play. It didn’t go so well for me. We had 80 minutes to write the essay, and I was only about half way done when the period ended. I don’t know what happened. Usually I can write fairly quickly, but not today. So I have to go down during my lunch period to finish. Should be loads of fun.
