Hi, im having a hard time answering my assignment and coming up with an idea.

History Repeats Itself
There can be some parallels made between the way politicians today might attack the foibles and personal shortcomings of their opponents, the same way Cassius does with Caesar in this play. Can you think of an example in modern politics? Think about election time or the way candidate’s campaign, even during years when they are not running for reelection. Include in your discussion a description of parallels between situations today and the situation between Cassius and Caesar. Compose your thoughts in at least two well-developed paragraphs.

I don't know much about politics so i can't think of much what to write about.

Hmmmm. Have you ever heard candidates for class president whisper about the other candidates? Have you ever listened to the plots of two girls each with their own eyes on a certain cute boy? If not, you haven't lived in the real world.

I remember one fifth grade contest for King and Queen of the elementary school. Cassius was reincarnated in a mom I remember, she instigated plot after plot.

Have you read about Stalin's purges in the 1930's against his army top brass?

Have you listened or read the Nixon tapes? Listening to them relives Cassius' plots, and intrigue.

Surely you can compose two developed paragraphs on this.

No worries! I can help you with that. When it comes to finding examples in modern politics that parallel the situation between Cassius and Caesar in Shakespeare's play, "Julius Caesar," there are a few things you can do to generate ideas even if you don't know much about politics.

1. Research recent political campaigns: Take some time to look into recent elections or political campaigns that have taken place in your country or even globally. Look for instances where politicians attacked the personal shortcomings or weaknesses of their opponents. This could include instances where they highlighted scandals, personal behavior, or policy failures. By researching specific examples, you can find material that mirrors the way Cassius attacked Caesar's weaknesses.

2. Analyze political debates: Political debates, whether in person or online, often showcase moments where candidates highlight each other's weaknesses or try to discredit their opponents. Pay attention to these moments and think about whether they resemble Cassius's strategy of undermining Caesar's credibility and leadership.

3. Examine political news coverage: Stay updated with current political news and see how politicians and their supporters engage in character assassination or focus on personal flaws as part of their political discourse. News articles, opinion pieces, and even social media discussions can provide insight into the tactics employed by modern politicians and how they compare to Cassius and Caesar's situation.

Once you have gathered enough information, you can begin to compose your thoughts into two well-developed paragraphs. Remember to include specific examples and draw clear parallels between modern politics and the situation between Cassius and Caesar. Good luck with your assignment!
