Tyranny Vs. Anarchy

"Tyranny and anarchy are never far asunder," said Jeremy Bentham, a philosopher.

Tyranny is the type of government in which one person or group holds absolute power.  Anarchy is political and social disorder due to no government or law.  Bentham's quote means that tyranny and anarchy are closely related, which is because tyranny brings about anarchy.

I agree with this because when one person or group holds all power, their death may leave all the power in no one's hands and the only existing control is gone.  This is anarchy.  Thus, tyranny leads to anarchy. The two really are very close.

What's in a name

My name has little meaning to me.  I was named Sadie because of one reason; my mother made the name up.  Otherwise, the name has no significance.

Before my mother thought of 'Sadie', she was considering naming me 'Sudie',  an awful name that makes me grateful to be called 'Sadie'.  I can't imagine being called 'Sudie', even if the name is only a letter away from mine.  

Although my name has no meaning to me, according to the internet, 'Sadie' means 'princess' in Greek.  I think that if my parents had known this, they might have changed their minds about my name.  However, the definition doesn't matter to me.  I don't think many people would know that.  Overall, I am quite happy with my name.

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar reveals the tragic tale of Caesar's death at the hands of conspirators. These conspirators are people that Caesar has no reason to distrust. William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar tells a story that is much too morbid to grip readers (perhaps having it acted out would be better) and is written in a manner too difficult to understand (again, seeing actors might help).



Shakespeare's iambic pentameter sounds glorious when recited correctly, but attempting to read the sentences and really analyze them is a difficult task. I admire and respect this piece of work, but his words have to be milked for each of their meanings. The dialogue is just too ambigious for me to enjoy.



The story takes place in Rome. Each scene was written specifically for the theater. I was impressed with this fact. The main character could be either Brutus, Julius Caesar, or Mark Antony. This is debatable because each of them are protagonists because they are all trying to accomplish something. (That something being the death of Caesar, of course.)

Overall, I did not enjoy the book. I recommend the read to anyone whose future career may include writing or literature simply in order to keep culture alive.
