It was planned! Vacation once more. My family had planned to go to Mexico for a 3 1/2 week vacation. It’s been awhile since we have gone anywhere. My family has been in such a hole with debt that we forgot what vacation really felt like, or what it was.

Just recently my dad obtained a job as a Class A truck driver. It’s a little less then what he got at his last job but its better then not getting anything at all. We were planning to leave in 3 days but when the time came a bad storm had hit a city that we drive through to get to Mexico. The anchorman that was reporting the storm said that freeways and streets will be close for three days. We were all disappointed cause we wasted so much money preparing for this trip that we were back on debt. My dad didn’t care It was planned! Vacation once more.

Antony Speech


Alejandro Ruiz



Miss Kim



English 9/10



1 October 2009



The speech that I have chosen is from Antony's feeling towards Caesar's death.


The backround of his speech is that Antony was giving a funeral oration about Caesar's death and why he did not diserve to die.His argument was that Caeser was an honorable man and did not diserve this outcome.


Antony discribes his Pathos through mournful and sobering words while still not breaking down. Antony states that "He was an honorable man." Antony states "My heart is in the coffin there with Caeser, and I must pause till it comes back to me."(Antony 108)


My opinion to Antony's speech is that he is believable and trustworthy because he gives reason in his speech and detail to support it. Antony demands his thoughts sort of aggressively to the audience which is how he establishes his credibility. Antony tells the people what he beleives, with nothing holding him back.
