He has a stepson, Brutus. He love Brutus so much.
yet the that he loved so much is the one who plan his murder.



Although he was killed by Brutus, that doesn't mean that Brutus love him less, but Brutus loves Rome more.

Are you a Romantic or a Libertine...?

Basically, this article is exposing on two types of lovers which are romantic and libertine. A romantic is a lover that will do anything for their partner to show how much they love their partner. For example, they may buy lots of gift and prepared so many surprises for their partner. They give out 100% of their love to their partner and may be hurting a lot because they always forgive and accept the bitter situation in the relationship without thinking about their own selves.


Jack The Ripper

He was famous in 1988 for killing number of prostitute in the East End of London. he was also called the Whitechapel murderer.


In my opinion, James Kelly is the the suitable suspect that might be Jack The Ripper because he killed his own wife which he believe a prostitute in 1883. He also has the capability of handling knife since he has a steady hand by working as a furniture upholsterer.

Article 1: The Jews and their Deceits

There must be a concrete reason on why Adolf Hitler hated the Jews. The core of his hatred lies at the defeat of Germany during the World War One. Since then he begins to hate the Jews. Until the 20th century, he si considered as the most powerful dictator. He converted Germany into a fully militarized society and launched World War Two in 1939. After doing a few research, i found that the reason why Adolf Hitler hated the Jews is because of personal issue. Hitler began hating the Jews after a Jewish doctor, Eduard Bloch, failed to treat his mother Klara who was dying from a breast cancer in 1907. Based on my perspectives, from that moment, the seed of hatred to the Jews grew in his heart and after the the defeat of Germany in the WW1, the hatred turns into disgust. Hitler lived in Munich, where the Jews played a leading role in the revolution against the monarchy on Nov 9, 1918. Since then, the delusion came into his mind that the Jews were the reason for the "inner poisoning" of Germany.



In my opinion, there is similarities in the Muslims and the Nazis ideology which is not to trust the Jews and also other people who wants to do us harm because as what Hitler said " i only kill some of the Jews and i leave the rest for the world too see how cruel they are". As we can see in this present day, the Jews are trying to take control of everything. The economy, the politics and Socialism.

Critical Literacy

Critical Literacy makes me think deeply about something. Based on what i have learned in CL, i learned about the left brain hemisphere and right brain hemisphere. The left brain hemisphere is about thinking logically and the right brain hemisphere is personal thinking.

The first task that were given to me is, i have to do some research about 4 topics. The land diving (Naghol), bride kidnapping (Ala Kachu), hijra (South Asia), and male plastic surgery.

LAND DIVING (NAGHOL)




  
Land Diving (Naghol) is a ritual perform by the Vanuatu people. They will jump from a wooden tower about 25m tall with two tree vines wrapped around the ankles. This ritual is insane. The chances to die is high if a person perform this ritual. However it is considered harmful for their tribe, the Vanuatu. They believe that jumping from the tower can cure their illness. 


BRIDE KIDNAPPING (Ala Kachu)




Ala Kachu or well known as bride kidnapping is still practiced in Kyrgyzstan. It is a cruel tradition where the  bride was abducted. Each person in this world has their rights. There is no need for this silly tradition. To me this tradition should has an end. However this tradition gives bad name to love. the women never have time to know their own husband and how come can a woman fell in love with the guy that abduct her.


HIJRA (South Asia)




We must be thankful to god because created us and stand a chance to live in this world. We must learn to accept ourselves of who we are. Changing our gender is completely nonsense. These kind of people were accepted in India but, not in certain country in this world. However in India it is totally opposite. These kind of people are treated nicely and considered sacred.

MALE PLASTIC SURGERY




Male plastic surgery is a great idea. For some male, plastic surgery is the only option for them to look good and feel better about themselves. Therefore they have the rights to change their appearance. However, they should reconsider doing the surgery because it may give a side effect. Perhaps, male today should learned how to be graceful and accept who they are.
