Marc Antony
Over the past few days we have been listening to candidates that can possibly replace Caesar; Mark Antony, Brutus, and Cassius. Starting with Antony, I agree with Tony and Brielle that he can be a good leader. In the presentations I was persuaded to think that Antony shows leadership toward the people. Supports from the text were well used in supporting the characteristics that were being said about Antony. The items that were brought were related back to Antony in a smart way like bringing out a scene from the novel with a Caesar box and cupcakes representing Caesar death and the flowers. I didn't really see the connection between the song and Antony but Quan's points did show greatness about Antony.
Brutus
Kassandra did a good job at presenting the characteristics that we would want to have our leader to be as well as provided evidence from the text to support what was being presented, but I believe with all those characteristics he needs to know how to use them. The brochure was very detailed which led me to see other view points. I had trouble relating the cookies to Brutus in a way. I didn't see the connection that would persuade me. I liked the choice of song and how it related back to Brutus, it showed who Brutus himself was.
Cassius
Started off in a bad way for me because even though you may have evidence from the text and a lot of information I wasn't able to hear and the quality didn't have the persuasive effect on me. I liked the idea behind the items that Melanie created. It was a great idea. It reminded me of the older days, actually voting and since it was well made it must have taken hours which is something that should be  taken into consideration. I liked how Alberto related the song choice back to Cassius, it showed what he is capable of doing for his people.
