The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Part 1: Applying Reading Strategies

Question 1 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

The central idea of this passage is that Caesar will not change his mind. Which details support this central idea? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
“I could be well moved, if I were as you”
B
“But I am constant as the Northern Star”
C
“The skies are painted”
D
“They are all fire, and every one doth shine”
E
“There’s but one in all doth hold his place.”

Explanation

“I am constant as the Northern Star” directly shows that Caesar is firm and will not change his mind. The detail “There’s but one in all doth hold his place” reinforces this by comparing Caesar to the single star that stays fixed. The other lines describe the stars generally or suggest Caesar could be moved, so they do not support the central idea as clearly.
