Bomb Scare in Wellesley


















Today was an average day for any middle-schooler, it was almost the end of 1st period when suddenly the fire bell rang. I thought it was a regular fire drill since we did not have one for a long time. When we were outside I saw fire trucks and police cars coming toward our school with their sirens on. Ten minutes later police dogs and police officers entered the building, and after that fire fighters rushed in with full gear on. From right then and there I knew that it was not a joke.
We were evacuated to the high school, where there were no bombs that we know of. The principal told us that the police officers and the fire fighters were searching every inch of the school and that there probably wasn't a bomb.
Three hours later we were back in the school. About 20 minutes later our teacher told us that there was no bomb found. We headed toward 7th period with only 20 minutes left.
This bomb threat happened last Friday. I think this was done by a person who has a lot of issues and does drugs. This bomb scare beats being in school all day.

Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare


Julius Caesar was the emperor of Rome. This play takes place in ancient Rome. The murder of Julius Caesar happened when they were offically announcing him as emperor of Rome.

The Senators thought that Julius Caeser would destroy Rome and make Rome into tyranny

This play is about Julius Caesar's murder and the final show down between Marc Antony, Caesar's right hand man/best friend, with Marcus Brutus, a senator of Rome, Caesar's best friend and also the person who cut Caesar's life short.

This is the best tragedy play I have ever read.It does not stall on the action. It gives good examples of life, death, and betrayal. Friendship also takes a major role because at the end Antony makes sure Brutus pays his price.

Brutus was Caerar's best friend but later Brutus betrayed him, but Antony, another of Caesar's good friends made sure Brutus got his suffering.

Antony did this not because of fame or power: he did this for their friendship.
