River Rubicon Moment
Crossing the River Rubicon means that you have to make a decision in a short amount of time. The decision can affect the person’s life, or it can affect other people. Julius Ceasar was the founder of this quote because he had to make a decision weather to cross the river and become famous, or on the other hand, go back to Rome and have tons of fines to pay off. Julius Ceasar came to the decision to cross the Rubicon River.
My River Rubicon moment was over the summer when I was getting over my fractured finger. I had tennis that day, and it was an important match. My finger still hurt pretty bad, but it was on my left hand, so I could still use my good hand for hitting the tennis balls. I had to make a quick decision because if I wasn’t going to go, we had to call and tell them that I wasn’t going. I thought of the pros and cons. Pros to going to the match was that I got to have more practice and if I won, I would be rewarded. Cons to going to the match was that I could possibly hurt my finger again, and I wouldn’t be able to play to the best of my ability. If I were to stay at home, my finger would be fine, but the cons are that I would feel guilty because my opponent couldn’t play. I had come to a decision. My decision was to go and play the match. I was happy with my decision because nothing bad happened to my finger during the match, I got extra practice in, and I won the match. I was proud of myself that I went, and it boosted my confidence.
Everyday, people make decisions that can affect their lives dramatically, or it could just be a decision like what to have for breakfast. Either way, these people might have a limit of thinking and have to create their decision quick. Hopefully that people make the right decision.

Rubicon River
This event is when Julius Caesar had to make a big decision. It was to either cross the river and start a civil war, or go back to Rome and get pelted with tons of fines. He decided to cross the river. This impacted Rome because the plebeians got lower taxes, and the tribunes and the plebeians came to see Julius Caesar. The die is Cast means a decision or event that cannot be changed once you have decided.
The Ides Of March
The Ides of March means that on March 15th will bring bad luck. In Rome, Julius Caesar received many warnings that he was going to die on March 15th by the Senates. This impacted Rome because they thought that all bad things will happen on the 15th of March. The senates thought that Julius Caesar was going to overthrow them. Also, Julius Caesar's death created an impact because the Roman citizens were very upset.
Julius Caesar Assassination
I think that Julius Caesar didn't deserve to be assassinated because he was trying to help the poor people by lowering the taxes. The senate was worrying that he was going to be king. He also didn't deserve to be killed because he was making Rome a better place because he expanded the ancient city of Rome.
