Persuasive essay: Julius Caesar
Do you think ghosts exist? Well I do because I am proof of it, I am the ghost of Caesar. I am here to give you tips on picking your friends and help you out with future friends. I think you, Antony, make the best friend of all because you always have my back, are honest, and were on my team even after I died.
I really wish I would’ve realized what a good friend you are when I was alive. I never worried once about my safety when I was with you. You are so smart and I know can fully respect you. Sure you didn’t warn me about the group of friends plotting against me but I know that was not your fault at all.
I am going to haunt others and spread the word of your great friendship skills. Others could learn a few tips on being a good friend like Brutus. You had my back as always, while others planned on stabbing my back. Brutus is probably the worst “friend” in the whole world. I even told him “y tu brute” before I died just to curse him. I said that to wish him dead! I should’ve realized his friendship was a fake. He had red flags all over him, I used to have weird feeling and I now know that it was my instincts kicking in.
Death is the true test of friendship. When I died you protected the people’s respect of me when I couldn’t. Brutus and his gang did the opposite, trying to tear me down in the hearts of all. Everything I did was for those people and they tried to make it seem like everything I did was for myself. It was sad that my will was the only thing that kept the people on my side. Just cause I gave them land and money? That is so selfish of them.
You need to be an example to others on how to be a great friend. Please tell Brutus how I feel about him and what regrets I have. I have no doubt that you won’t tell him for me. You were my only real friend, I appreciate the tears that were cried for me and wish you the best of luck for the rest of your life.
At the beginning of your blog you had a great hook and it was a good question to bring attention. you did great with your blog and you really made it sound like you were his gohst.
ReplyDeleteI liked it. Your ghost was totally believeable. How did you make your ghost so real?
