Pies of March ~K-Babe~

Ingredients

For Crust
  • 1 box of Superstition
  • 1 3/4 tsp. Deceit

For Filling

  • 1 Julius Caesar
  • 8 tbsp. conspirators
  • 1/2 cup wise words (Can be found by the soothsayer)
  • A half dozen bad omens
  • 2 cups of wrongful thinking

Preparation

Preheat oven to 0315F degrees. In a medium sized bowl, throw together the conspirators and wrongful thinking and mix together until smooth and merciless. Then, with caution, crack the bad omens into the batter. Let sit while you sift through the wise words and fold into batter. Finally, add Julius Ceasar and beat on 'High' until the consistancy 'resembles that of a little girl'.

Once finished, pour into pie tin and smooth over with a spatula. Lay out superstition on top of dessert evenly and sprinkle around the deceit.

Set pie in oven for 30-35 minutes or until crust is a golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes and then stab a knife into it and enjoy your fateful day. :)

make brutus king now
Crassius kill Caesar today
watch Ides of March

Take down the future king
Brutus join us in the bloodbath
This be Romes destiny

Rome is better than
What king they have been given
We shall give them the rightful

You're The Voice by John Farnham

We have
The chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

Chorus:
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!

This time
We know we all stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing, we can make it better

Oooooooh,
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?...

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!

{Instrumental[Bag Pipes(Tin Whistle)]}

Ooooooh
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?...

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
(repeat until end of song)

The song's name is:
Your Voice by John Farnham and it is relevant to Julius Caesar, and more importantly to Fate Vs. Free will because this songs is saying we all have our choices and what we choose is our chance to do what we want for ourselves or to listen to the voice telling us our fate. This song could represent the conspirators and there choice to betray Julius Caesar and the time has come to take him down before its too late. For example Brutus wants to do it for Rome, the good of Rome while others do it for the dislike and thoughts of the bad ending for all if Caesar gets crowned. Lyrics such as its time to turn the page and write what they want to write is like the idea, the seed that formed the idea of getting rid of Caesar in the first place, after Julius came back after Pompey had been murdered. In Act Two the idea of this seed, the seed of betrayal and getting rid of Caesar needs a group of people and this song there are lyrics that say we can make it better. Cassius's reasons in Act One to persuade Brutus to join was that Caesar finds himself bigger then everyone else and this song lyrics we are all someone's daughter, we are all someone's son could signify equality.They are done sitting in silence and not going to live in fear like the lyrics of your voice. Overall this song by John Farnham could symbolize not only the struggles of keeping this seed planted of Act Two but also Act One. While the seed first was planted to the planning of the day before the ideas of March. (March 15th)
Meanwhile on Caesar's side, he was warned about the ideas of march and what a bad day that would be in Act Two, his wife Calpernia (Caesar's wife) has a nightmare about his death which almost convinces him to stay hiding for that day, which could have changed his fate. While one of the members of the large group of men conspiring against him, convinces him there is nothing to worry about and to go to the senate that day basically walking him to his fate.

Lost poem - Fate vs Free Willby ~nuke-vizard

If you believe in chance then listen to this
There is a reason behind all that exists
All of life's actions you took and will take
Are nothing but steps that you had to make

Shake the hand that makes all your moves
Life is a game as the puppeteer proves
Maybe he lets you pull your own strings
If you are lucky, that's what fate brings

You must look destiny straight in the eye
And if you hear providence let out a sigh
Maybe you'll see that you have free will
And you know best whom to love and to kill

Make a choice now and please make it quick
It's all up to you which path you should pick
Stay on board, fly, defy your own fate
Just make up your mind before it's too late

Seize the moment, you know what to do
Make a better world where all works for you
Erase your past and write what's to come
Unless you believe it's already done

If you can't escape or you can't decide
If black tells you lies so you join his side
If living this life is not worth the cost
Then be not afraid, it means you are lost

Paragraph 1 talks about how there is always reason behind your actions. I think this relate to how the actions Brutus is taking to become king and kill Caesar is all because of the reason that Caesar is becoming king. Which is also the reason for Brutus's little group meetings and why Caesar is going to die.

The 2nd paragraph talk about how some people are lucky enough to be able to "pull their own string in life" meaning they can make free will decisions instead of having predetermined ones. I believe this relates to how Brutus has a free will decision, even although it is in a way predetermined as he's the only one able to take on the responsibility of being king. It also says how if you can pull your own strings you're lucky with what fate brings, and Brutus is lucky to become king.

Third paragraph is saying that one should look destiny straight in the eye, and Brutus looks at the problem and adresses it immediately. Then it says that if you have free will which Brutus does, you will know exactly who to love and who to kill. Brutus knows exactly who to love and who to kill, like killing Caesar, but not his friends that Cassius suggests killing also.

The fourth paragraph well explains that one should make a decision and make it quick, and that one has free will on the path they take. I think it relates to Brutus as he has to make his decision before it's too late. It talks about staying on task and getting it done, which is exactly what Brutus is doing.

Paragraph 5 explains really well the situation that Brutus is in. It says in the paragraph to erase the past if its not already done, and change it so everything is great for all. What Brutus is doing is: Hes killing Caesar before he is king, before it is already done and he will replace him as king so all the citizens have a good leader.

Lastly paragraph 6 talks about if one is undesicive, and is hesitant on the desicion to try to defy their fate, than they are truly lost, which is totally true. And I think that Brutus certaintly felt that way until he was talked into a lot of confidence. He didn't know where to start and what to do, he was lost.

This whole thing some how ended up being about Brutus, but it relates well so I don't think it matters.

Julius Caesar Haikus


A man wrought by fate,
to do the unthinkable,
with the perfect crime.

A plot made by friends,

to take down his mightiness,

in a swift manner.

Caesar must beware,
of the impending danger,
brought there upon him.

Fate vs. Free Will by Nickname

This image is from Act 1, Scene 2 of Julius Caeser. This is when the soothsayer from the crowd mentions the ides of March. (March 15th) It is up to Caeser to listen to the soothsayer and be careful on March 15th, or he can just brush him off which he did. The reason that this is Fate vs. Free Will is that its like an old sage who is warning Caeser of terrible happenings (Fate) but Caeser just thinks it isn't important at all(Free Will)



Soothsayer
Beware the ides of March.
CAESAR
What man is that?
BRUTUS
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
CAESAR
Set him before me; let me see his face.
CASSIUS
Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
CAESAR
What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.
Soothsayer
Beware the ides of March.
CAESAR
He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.


Caeser just thinks the soothsayer is a crazy person in the crowd.

Explaining Julius Caesar clip

The video shows when Julius Caesar is having a seizure, which was talked about in act 1 scene 2 in the play. Julius Caesar was a great man who knew how to appeal to everyone. He also was born with a troubling disorder called epilepsy. Life is full of things we can and can't control, but all have the choice to live our life's to the fullest potential. The this scene relates to fate vs. free will because everyone is born with some type of hindrance which may last your whole life but you also have the choice of overcoming it and becoming great. Caesar was was not perfect but tried making up for his faults by his good deeds.
Major parts in this clip was when Julius Caesar was standing at the top of the stairs of an official building. this shows Caesar's political power and this shows his free will because he chose to be a political leader. His fate is that he will always suffer from epilepsy, in the clip Caesar was having an uncontrollable seizure. This is apart of Caesar fate because he cannot change his fate. The character involved was Julius Caesar the main character of the play, who is adored and admired by many and despised by few. A quote from Casca about the scene showed in the clip "he fell down in the market-place and foamed at the mouth and was speechless".
