Marc Antony was the person Caesar had at his side, he was basically his "right hand" man. Brutus believed that Marc Antony wouldnt be very powerful once Caesar was dead, but he was wrong. When Marc Antony spoke at Julius Caesar's funeral he took a crowd of "Brutus believers" and changed them to be against Brutus. He wanted to avenge Caesars death and he took the whole of the community with him. They realized Brutus was not the good guy, after Marc Antony repeatedly said "For Brutus is an Honorable Man".
Marc Antony is interesting to me because of his passion for his friend, he is so influenuatel, He makes sure that Caesar did not die in vain, and he comes up with the second triumvate. He sticks up for what he knows is right, even if it got him hurt. He knew he had the power to persuae and make sure that they knew the truth about Brutus and his men.
Marc Antony is alot like Barack Obama. Obama has the power to give loaded speeches which affects the public, and its so powerful. Alot of people are behind Obama, but alot of people are behind McCain stil too. This link shows the diversity in views and public optinions, the diversity in public beliefs and politics.

The Allegory.
1. Plato told of the shadows being cast from the men, the people within the cave did not know what to think of them. Shadows happen alot in our society today. They happen in tabloids, in magazines, newspapers etc. The rumors about Celebrities are either insane lies, or harsh truths.
2. http://www.myspace.com/ this is a shadow site because of all the weirdo creeps that pretend to be other people online. Unless you know the person personally, all the things you read could be a lie. People pretend to be many things, but who knows whether or not people are keeping it real ?
3. Shadows make people feel inferior. The media try to play up alot of the unrealistic "reality" shows, which people may think they do cool things. People try to live up too, and do the things that celebs, and commercials / tv shows show. It's a very negative, although sometimes positive, affect on our community and nation.
