@Boblankin

Answer 13

mkay which speeches are you looking at??

Answer 14

"You all did love him once, — not without cause:
What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him? —"

Out of the three items, which do you think this is, and why?

Answer 15

Antony’s or Brutus’s speech does not matter who... and i think it is logos i am bad at this :P @Boblankin

Answer 16

why is it logos?

Answer 17

apply the definition of logos to those lines. How is he using logos to talk to the people? Why is he saying it? What does Antony assume?

Answer 18

i dont know i dont get the play at all its hard to undrstand!!!!! @Boblankin just forget it

Answer 19

what is confusing?

Answer 20

try rereading the original text, it may help produce something...

Answer 21

You all did love him once, — not without cause:
What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him? —"

This is appealing to Pathos. Anthony is trying to make the commoners remember how much they once loved and admired Caesar for a reason, why shouldn't they mourn his death? He is appealing to the commoners' love for Caesar, telling them that they should stop to rethink the reason why the admired Caesar, and to hold on to that reason, and continue to love him, mourn his death.

I hope this helps :) I've done the book before so Im happy to help
