Top Ten Favorite Bands of Mine

My Top Ten Favorite Artists:

Avenged Sevenfold
Where to start? This band has been through hell and back. And their music style has changed so much since their first album. Between the death of a bandmate and brother, the band is continuing onward and continuing to make money in honor of their fallen friend.

Destrophy
Destrophy comes from Iowa, making them all the more awesome. Another reason I like them? They take time to talk to their fans! I know all of the guys in the band personally. I’ve even gone out to eat with the lead singer and his fiancée as well as the bassist, his girlfriend, and the guitarist. All of that plus the awesome artistic abilities of this band makes them in my top ten.

3.Ice Nine Kills
Again, I know the lead singer of this band personally. He’s a sweetheart, and I know he’ll always be there if I need to talk to someone. Their musical technique is different than my other favorites, but I love this band more so because of that!

Slipknot
Another band from Iowa. Des Moines, to be exact. This is a heavy band. Someone I can listen to to get myself pumped up! I could party for hours after listening to the ‘Knot. I’ve seen them in concert three times, and they put on a dang good show. And they’re unique with having nine members as well as wearing masks.

Papa Roach
Definitely a different sound than the others. They have a more pop feel to some of their songs. I have a wide variety of music I listen to. I like how this band incorporates love songs with party songs. I don’t know this band is just awesome.

Nirvana
From the nineties, a grunge band. I love grunge music. Kurt’s voice was so unique. Not to mention the songs are good and some are just funny. I can put this band on to calm myself down after a long, hard day and just chill.

Stone Sour
Another band that has members from Iowa. The singer and the guitarist are both in Slipknot which just makes this band awesome. The sound is so much different from the 'Knot, but I love them not the less.

Escape the Fate
This band has gone through many problems with authority. The ex-lead singer was arrested and spent a couple years in jail, but that hasn't changed my view on the band. I believe that their artistic abilities makes up for the mistakes they have made.

Bullet For My Valentine
A foreign band from England. Hard rock and British accents? Yea, that's love right there. Their music is even awesome. It's just a plus that they're hot.

H.I.M.
From Finland these love-metal rockers sure no how to see into your soul with their music. I love this band.

Today.

Wow, so my teacher is droning on and on and on. This is ridiculous. Let's just go over our quiz and get it over with so we can move on to our paper? I mean seriously. Why the hell do we need to get ridiculed like everyday? It pisses me off. But enough about that. Hmm? Let's move on to something else.

Quotes from Caesar

Julius Caesar, Act II, Sc. I
Brutus:
"You are my true and honourable wife,
As dear to me as are the ruddy drops
That Visit my Sad Heart."
Brutus is speaking to Portia. She feels that he thinks that she is nothing more than his lover than his wife. He is trying to prove her otherwise.
It is essential to the scene because it gives us a look at a different side of Brutus.

Julius Caesar, Act II, Sc. II
Caesar:
"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once."
Caesar is talking with Calphurnia about her nightmare of his death. He is saying that if he were to get scared and stay home he will end up losing more than if he goes out and faces the danger.
It's important because it's telling us that Caesar is not afraid of death, it's very ironic because of the fact that he dies later that day.


Characters of Julius Caesar

Marcus Brutus- The conspirator that lets the conspirators meet at his house. He is also the one that is trying to protect Rome from Caesar.
Portia- The loyal, worried wife of Brutus.
Cassius- Lead conspirator.
Caesar- The new dictator of Rome.
Artemidorus- Sophist of Cnidos who wrote a letter to Caesar.
