Julius Caesar - William Shakespeare - A Short Summary and Review

A short summary of the play Julius Caesar:

Murder and mayhem on the Ides of March destroy a monarch.
(that is March 15th)

My favorite William Shakespeare quote from the play:

"The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones."


Questions to ponder while reading Julius Caesar:

Would you betray a friend for politics?

Have you done something that has altered the course of your life?

My thoughts about Julius Caesar:

Power grabbing is dangerous.

Violence rarely solves anything.

Ultimately, it is the people who rule.

Contact - Carl Sagan - A Short Summary and Review

Image
A short summary of the book Contact: A radio broadcast from the great beyond proves that we are not alone. My favorite Carl Sagan quote from the book: "Any faith that admires truth, that strives to know God, must be brave enough to accommodate the universe." Questions to ponder while reading Contact: Which of humanity's accomplishments are you most proud of? Which of humanity's accomplishments are you most ashamed of? My thoughts about Contact: A good glimpse of how humanity will act at first contact. I am sort of ashamed of what we would say for ourselves. Maybe we should think about that. ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to her travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be f...

If Cats Disappeared From the World - Genki Kawamura - A Short Summary and Review

Image
  A short summary of If Cats Disappeared From the World: You can live forever if you get rid of..... My favorite Genki Kawamura quote from the book: "I wonder why people always expect things from others that they themselves can't or won't do." Questions to ponder while reading: What would you give up first? What wouldn't you give up at all? My review: A fun look at the costs of immortality. Surprisingly philosophical. There is no way I would give up my cat (or my dog, for that matter.) ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to her travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?
