Julius Caesar Passage

Ac I Scene 1
KL - Marullus
Me - Flavius

MARULLUS

Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home?
What tributaries follow him to Rome,
To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?
You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,
Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft
Have you climb'd up to walls and battlements,
To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops,
Your infants in your arms, and there have sat
The livelong day, with patient expectation,
To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome:
And when you saw his chariot but appear,
Have you not made an universal shout,
That Tiber trembled underneath her banks,
To hear the replication of your sounds
Made in her concave shores?
And do you now put on your best attire?
And do you now cull out a holiday?
And do you now strew flowers in his way
That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood? Be gone!
Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
That needs must light on this ingratitude.

FLAVIUS

Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault,
Assemble all the poor men of your sort;
Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears
Into the channel, till the lowest stream
Do kiss the most exalted shores of all.

Exeunt all the Commoners
See whether their basest metal be not moved;
They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
Go you down that way towards the Capitol;

This way will I

disrobe the images,
If you do find them deck'd with ceremonies.

MARULLUS

May we do so?
You know it is the feast of Lupercal.

FLAVIUS

It is no matter; let no images
Be hung with Caesar's trophies. I'll about,
And drive away the vulgar from the streets:
So do you too, where you perceive them thick.
These growing feathers pluck'd from Caesar's wing
Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men
And keep us all in servile fearfulness.

My Learning Profile

My learning profile is KK which is Gestalt Dominant. I learn best through movement and by focusing on the whole picture, the context and whether it is relevant to me. I process information through movement, emotion and intuition. I need to physically do what is being learned. Through touch and movement I am able to see more clearly and understand better what is being taught. When something is being taught i will do better when the teacher gives me an example or associates it with something I already know. I also have difficulty expressing myself both verbally and through writing until I have time to process internally the information. I would like my teachers to know that I can follow step-by-step visual and auditory cues when I am relaxed and comfortable. My biggest concern will be when I am asked to put all the pieces of information I get into something logical and then be able to communicate it to others. I hope that knowing how I learn will help me to become a better student.
