Reading Journal 7 E組 薛文婷

I had read the story which was named Julius Caesar.The author is Shakespeare and it was retold by Anne Collins.There are
fifty pages of the book and it is published by Pearson Education Limited in association with Penguin Book Ltd.both companies
being subsidiaries of Pearson PLC.The vocabulary level is 1200 words,I feel I can choose more advanced level next time because
now I can read this level more quickly than before.

In this story,Shakespeare change a few things to make it more interesting.The main person in his play is Brutus,an important Roman,
not julius Caesar.The story described about 2000 years ago,a great man called Julius Caesar was the ruler of Rome.He had great power,but
after some time he wanted more.On the basis of the reason,Cassius and Brutus wanted to kill him.They use a good opportunity,choosing time that
no one can help Caesar to put him out of the way.At first,a large crowd can't accept Brutus's behavior,but in a moment they are all convinced that
Brutus did a good job.Finally,Caesar's best friend,Mark Antony,wanted to revenge his dead friend.He decided to fight to Cassius and Brutus .
In the end,Antony fight a wonderful victorios war,and Cassius and Brutus choosed kill themselves to finish his lives.

After reading this story,I think that more power can make people bankrupt more intelligence.From ancient time to nowaday,we can see the same tragedy play again and again. I like read historical stories,I usually believe that we can learn some experiences or get some edification.
The main role all can be our teacher,and they can let us know right and wrong.I am very appreciate predecessor's examples,because of them,we can pass more smooth and stable.
