  	They are at the Senate House where Caesar had been assassinated ruthlessly by the conspirators. He had been sent by his master,Mark Antony. Trebonius had earlier told that Mark Antony has fled to his house amazed upon seeing the mutiny which follows Caesar's death  ayush2025

  	Hard heels were too loud. Dogs in intermittent squads would parallel his walk with barkings. Many faces would appear, startled at the passing of a lone figure through the cold Novemeber evening.  Sneakers helped prevent this from happening. richatrivedi

  The disagreement was on whether Antony should be allowed to speak at Caesar's funeral or not. Cassius was against this as he though Antony was dangerous and that they don't know how his words may stir the crowd and change their minds about Caesar's assasination. In the end, he was right. Brutus allwoing cassius to speak at Casear's funeral caused the Romans to rise in mutiny and rage, destroying the conspirator's houses and even killing anyonoe with the same name as the conspirators, for example cinna the poet. Because of this, Brutus and Cassius had to flea the gates of rome on the horses like madmen, to escape the murderous mob.  richatrivedi

  	People between Sardis and PHilipi were only loyal to them out of fear. They only gave them money and manpower because they felt that they had to. If Antony comes to Sardis, his army will be able to benifit from the people between Sardis and Philipi and grow by recruiting them. They will be newly reinforced, confident, and refreshed. This can be prevented by going to Philipi. richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Gems Akademia International School (GAIS), South 24 Parganas)
  	Cassius did not want the army to march to Philipi. He felt by staying in the hilly and high areas, Antony's army would have to march to Sardis, due to which their resoureces would be waster and their soldiers tired out, casuing their strength to reduce, while their armies will be strong, well rested, and nimble.  richatrivedi

  	Both Brutus and Messala recieved the news that Antony and Octavious were bearing down on them with mighty power, marching towards Philipi. Messala' letter said that Antony, Octavious, and Lepidus had put to death 100 senators by proscription and bills of outlawry, while Brutus' said 70. Even Cicero was killed.  richatrivedi

  Antony understands that if he wanted to stir the people into rage and mutiny against Brutus, he would have to appeal to their hearts and emotions. In the start itself, he calls brutus an honourable man, but at the same time counters his main reason for killing caesar-- caesar's ambition. He then has an outburst, and pauses his speech saying that his heart is in the coffin with Caesar, and must pause till it returns to him, then weeps. This is just one of the ways he appeals to people's emotions. He then proceeds to tell the audience about Caesar's will, which sparks up their curiosity, at the same time he dissappoints them by telling them that he can't read it because otherwise he will wrong the honourable men. When he further talks about how great the will is, the crowd's anticipation grows and they eventually themselves establish that the conspirators wer enot honourable men but traitors. Caesar also shows them Caesar's dead, mangled body which ignited tears in their eyes. He descriebes how cassius, casca and brutus stabbed casear, with special detail on brutus as he was the one who caesar loved the most.  In this way, he slowly turns the people against the conspritators, without breaking the terms on which he was to speak. His speech ignites emotions in the audience which make them themselves think that way, and not just bacuse Antony told them.  richatrivedi

  	The citizens were stirred into Mutiny and rage. They chanted 'Revenge, about, seek, burn, kill, slay, let not a traitor alive'. They cried out saying oh what a woeful day, noble caesar, piteous spectacle, most blody sight. They called the conspirators traitors and villians.  richatrivedi

  	Yes. They had tears because Antony showd them Caesar's mantel, and showed them where Casca, Cassius and Brutus has stabbed Caesar. In the end he even removed the mantle, to reveal Caesar's dead mangled body.  richatrivedi

  Hyperbole is used. It is used to describe the extent of destruction cause by Bhishma Lochan Sharma's loud, powerful, and harsh singing. It shows how powerful music can be, that although music has positive effects on the mind, it can be equally harmful if it is loud and harsh. It has beautiffuly highlighted the differrence between music and noise. It also depicts the absurdity of overconfidence, and what kind of effect it can have on one's surroundings.  richatrivedi

  Animals: The bullock carts are overturned, horses line the roadise. The animals resent and dislike the sound as soon as they hear it. The horses whine and stare with weet in air, and are irritated as the wonder what is going on due to confusion. The birds flying turn upside down.

  The central theme of the poem is the Human Faculty of Imagination. The poet explains how he values the fact that the mite has a mind of its own, its own will, and desires. He himself refuses to succumb to collectivistic love and lets the mite love not because of an indiscriminate love for animals or anger for trespassing the page but becuase he sees no reason to. The inconsequential mite is used to justify this theme bacuse the poem wants to explain that what makes a thing great or 'considerable' is not its size, but its indiviualistic autonomy, authenticity, intelliegence and imagination, all of which the mite has. He wants to convey that he values a tiny incosequential mite which has its own intelligence and individual, unique capability to think, reason and desire over a human who is a dullard, who simply follows collectivistic ideologies.  richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)

  The speaker feels glad because he has a deep appreciation for the faculty of imagination, intelligence, individual autonomy and authenticity. When he sees these characters in a tiny 'insignificant' mite, he becomes happy. 'one any sheet the least display of mind' means that he values vitality in a writing. He values individuality and authenticity in a writing, and appreciates when it is not filled with collectivistic ideals that are trending in society. He like seeing uniqueness and originaliy. This showcases the writers imaginaton and intelligence, and that they have their own.  richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)
  	By saying that he has a mind, he wants to convey that just as he has a mind, intelligence, the faculty of imagination, will, individuality and desires, he can reconise it. This converys his value for the Human Faculty of Imagniation. It shows that he thinks that an insignificant mite with intelligence and imagination is better than a human who is a dullard.  richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)

  Speaker feels pity for it, decides that it hasn't done anything wrong, and doesn't kill it because he doesn't see any reason to. He hopes that it will rest. The speaker does not puncish it for trespassing on his sheet of paper, because he is against collectivistic regimenting love, that is the contolling and strict kind of love some people promote. There is an implicit sattire on those who kill masses for simplistic reasons. richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)
  	Speaker finds the mind in mite on the paper through its actions. He finds it in the guise of a speck. He recognises it through the delibrate movements of the mite, indicating intelligence, will, and desire to protect itsself and not die.  richatrivedi

  Cassius: Leans towards superstition. Pessimistic: Is anxious, worried about the outcome. Fears that due to Brutus' military error they might loose the war. In fear, he starts believing any sign that they might lose the battle whether or not he believes in it. Despite this though, he claims to be hopeful and determined, however it is clearly seen he is much more afraid.

  Cassius asks Brutus about the possibility of losing the battle because he knows that the affairs of men are uncertain and the outcome of the battle cannot be predicted. So he thinks of the worst case senario. he challenges brutus' stance on danger by asking hm if he is ok being led in triumph through the streets of rome. Brutus responds by telling cassisus not to think that briutus will ever return to rome in changes, saying that he is too great for that.  richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)
  	Brutus responds by saying that he is a stoic, and this philosophy made him condemn cato for commiting suicide. He believes in being patient and waiting for whatever the gods has in store for them. He find something very vile about cutting ones life short by suicide just to prevent future possible suffereing.  richatrivedi

  Cassius saw that on their journey from sardis to philipi, 2 eagles were perched on their formeost standard bearer. They greedily fed from the hands of their soldiers. Once they reached philipi, they were gone and replaced by birds of ill omen like crows, ravens and kites hovering above them as if they were animals about to die and become their prey. He feels that the sight sybolises that their shadow is like a cover predicting death for them, and that their army lies under that cover, ready to die.  richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)

  Cassius earlier strongly flowed the philiophy of Epicurus. He discraded this philosophy because what he saw on their ship sailing from Sardis to philipi changed his mind. This shows that Cassius is extremely anxious and worried about the outcome of the war. Despite not initially believing in omens and premonitions --> which help one predict the future, he is suddenly convinced that they mean something. richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)

  By saying that he would rather be a dog, howling at the moon, than be that kind of roman, he means that he would much rather be howling at the moon as a dog than be a corrupt and hypocritical roman who killed casear for allowing corruption among tax collectors and then proceeded to partake in corrupt actions such as taking immoral bribes. Cassius reacts to these accusations by saying that brutus is mistaken to think that he can limit cassius' authority. Cassius says that he is a more experienced soldier who can decide how to manage things better. Brutus was not being fair to Cassius at all. This is because he later accused Cassius of not giving him money to pay his troops wages, but didn't realise that even Cassius has to source his money from somewhere. Hence, he did not approve of corruption and taking bribes, but he was completely fine with using money given by a friend which initially was abtained by taking bribes.  richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)
  	Brutus compares their actions and Caesar's corruption by saying that they killed casear partly because he allowed taxpayers to act corruptly. It is wrong that now they dirty their own hands by accepting immoral bribes. He says that their acceptence of bribes negatively affects their reputianion and describes it as seling their reputations for as much money they can grab.  richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)

  Brutus refers to the ides of match to say that on this day did great julius not bleed for justice's sake. He wants to say that everyone stabbed Caesar for the sake of justice and anyone who didn't was a villian. He asks that is it right that they killed the most powerful man in the world partly because the allowed tax collectors to act corruptly and then proceed to dirty their own hands with immoral bribes? Is it right to sell their reputations for as much money they can grab.He says that he would much rather be a dog howling at the moon than that kind of roman. richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)
  	Cassius reacts saying how dare brutus accuse him of having an itching palm, that is, of being corrupt. He says that if he weren't Brutus, that speech would be his last. Brutus responded that his honourable reputation masks his corruption which is the reason that he has not been punished. richatrivedi

  ICSE Class X Prelims 2025 : English Paper 2 (English Literature) (Euroschool Airoli, Mumbai)

  The great tree is a metaphor for a great soul. The tone of the poem is reassuring and hopeful. It beautifully depecits the stages of grief: shock, denial, sense of loss, regret and acceptance perfectly, and uses the extended metaphor comparing a great tree to a great soul. The impact of a fall of a great tree on nature is used to compare the impact of the death of a great soul on the surroudning world. However, it also reassures us, that in the end, we would be happy and grateful that they lived, and imbibe the qualities that made them great into ourselves, so we can continue their legacy. It reassures us and gives us hope that ultimately, things get better. richatrivedi

  The houses 'he' passes are described in stark contrast to his own house: 1. Lit up: The other houses have lights on, suggesting warmth and activity inside. 2. Cheerful: They appear inviting and lively, implying happy occupants. 3. Bright windows: The illuminated windows further emphasize the contrast with his dark house. 4. Occupied: Unlike his empty house, these homes have people in them, likely families enjoying each other's company. These descriptions create a sense of isolation and loneliness for the protagonist, highlighting the emptiness of his own home in comparison to the vibrant, populated houses he passes. nithing

  Leonard Mead encounters a lone police car during his walk. The car, which is the only police unit in a city of three million, stops him and questions his presence on the street. The car is described as unmanned, operated by a metallic voice. It interrogates Mead about his occupation and reason for being outside. When Mead explains he's just walking, the car finds this suspicious and ultimately decides to take him to the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies. nithing

  Leonard Mead is indeed a non-conformist in "The Pedestrian." This is justified by several factors: 1. He walks alone at night when everyone else is inside watching television. 2. He doesn't own a television, which is highly unusual in his society. 3. His occupation as a writer is considered obsolete and suspicious. 4. He values physical activity and observation of the real world, contrary to the sedentary, screen-focused lifestyle of his neighbors. 5. His behavior is so out of the norm that the police car considers it grounds for psychiatric evaluation. nithing

  The extract suggests that the people in the houses are engaged in watching television. This is evident from Mead's rhetorical questions about what's on different TV channels. The houses are described as silent, with no signs of activity visible from the outside. The lack of people on the streets and the mention of TV channels indicate that the residents are likely indoors, focused on their television screens. nithing

  	"He" refers to Leonard Mead, the protagonist of the story "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury. He was headed out for his nightly walk through the city streets. The direction is not explicitly stated, but it's implied he's walking along residential streets. The weather that evening was described as cool and misty, with a light fog in the air. nithing
