Brutus's Diary,

Brutus’s Diary Entry

I have lived in Rome my whole life, and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to protect my country. Rome is a beautiful place. It has also had some good and bad leaders. Caesar is not yet king, but he is very popular among the people. Today, he was even offered the crown, but declined. Now, Caesar is a very powerful man, and accepting the crown would give him more power so, it troubles me why he didn’t accept the crown. Caesar is a very close friend of mine. He is logical, a good leader and very powerful but if he does become king, what would become of Rome? The last thing I want is to see Rome get destroyed.
A man named Cassius and I had a discussion about this today as well. We both don’t want to see Rome get destroyed but unlike me, he has made up his mind on Caesar. Cassius feels that Caesar will ruin Rome. Although I haven’t quite made up my mind, Cassius did have some good points about Caesar not being fit for king. He said that Caesar has many weaknesses that will not be good for Rome in the long run. He made a good point, but how do we know how good a leader Caesar will be?
Caesar is a very wise and intelligent man that may, or may not be fit for king, but Ill do whatever it takes to do what’s best for Rome.
