Who Is the Better Speaker: Brutus or Antony?

 
 

 
Both Brutus & Antony deliver funeral speeches following Caesar's assassination.
Based on your analysis of both speeches, share your summary evaluation of who said it better.
Include specific, supporting information with your evaluation:  specific words/lines, rhetorical devices, etc.
In addition to posting your evaluation, you must reply to three (3) other people's posts. 
Although I do want you to post thoughtful, helpful comments, your comments should not be designed to make anyone cry.  In other words, constructive criticism is helpful; pure negativity is destructive.

Rescue dogs

 
This is Lucy, my dog, the day we adopted her.  I didn't know a lot about dogs when we brought her home, but looking back, I only regret not looking around sooner.  She is such a joy in all of our lives, and we are lucky to have her.  She came to use through a rescue organization that saves pregnant dogs from high-kill shelters.  The organization's weblink is:
We are so pleased with our Lucy, and I encourage anyone who is considering getting a dog to look into an organization such as the one we used.

Here is the link showing her successful adoption:

This is Lucy now.  This picture was taken a few weeks ago.  She has about doubled in size, but her approximate estimated size and weight were close to what the organization predicted.  We adopted her after having a preliminary visit to the vet, her first round of shots and microchipping.
