Rough Draft
Student’s Name: Laura Jurkovic

In today’s news something very big has happened today. On the day of Julius Caesar's

funeral Antony has spoken and exposed the truth of his death. He was murdered by the

people who were very close to him. Now we can only imagine why the suspects would

murder him, but it doesn’t justify their actions. The people want vengeance for our most

memorable and honourable soldier of Rome. There is no excuse for what these

criminals have done. The murder weapon was none other than Cassius knife. The

citizens of Rome no longer want answers. Antony's speech has moved us all. Now that

we know what really happened to Caesar the city is in a deep mourning. Who can we

now trust if the people with the most power are killing and murdering each other. In

Antony’s speech today he talked about many various different things. We cannot

imagine how he must feel, now that his most trusted soldier who would eventually get

the crown has been murdered by those closest to him. The people are still trying to

figure out what to do with those who are responsible for his death. The aftermath of his

speech is very severe. People are beginning to riot, they are on a rampage, filled with

anger about the news they just heard. We fear that something will happen during this

mad rampage that is currently going on. This by far has been a very sad day for Rome,

we have lost trust in the ones who hold all the power, and most importantly we have lost
the best soldier we ever had. He was truly a kind hearted man who helped Rome

become what it is today.
