What evidence is there to show that Caesar and Brutus can be influenced by flattery?William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, in Act I, Cassius tells
Brutus that when Caesar returned to Rome after defeating Pompey, he is given a crown to
wear, but he refuses it.  Nonetheless, Marc Antony replaces it upon his head for Caesar
to refuse it again to the laudatory shouts of the crowd.  Again, Antony attempts to
place the laurel on Caesar's head, and again Caesar dramatically refuses it.  His
actions here indicate that he makes a show of his refusal and loves the adulation that
accompanies his demonstration of humility.  Later, in Act II when Calpurnia tells her
husband of her dream and begs him to not "go forth today" to the Senate, he concedes,
saying,

Marc
Antony shall say I am not
well,

readability="9">

And, for thy humor, I will stay at home.
(II,ii,58-59)

However, after
one of the conspirators, Decius arrives, he tells Caesar that the Senate has decided to
give him a crown; however, if he decides to not go today, they may change their minds,
Decius cautions Caesar.  Also, Decius suggests, they they think Caesar is weak and
listens to his wife's directions and is afraid.  Then, he
adds,

Pardon
me, Caesar, for my dear dear love

To your proceeding bids
me tell you this,

And reason to my love is liable.
(II,ii,106-109)

Thus, Decius
flatters and cajoles Caesar into attending the Senate.

That
Brutus is also swayed by flattery is evidenced in the famous "seduction scene" of Act I
in which Cassius convinces Brutus to join with the conspirators in the assassination
plot of Caesar.  For instance, when Brutus tell Cassius that he loves "the name of honor
more than [he] fear[s] death (95), Cassius flatters
Brutus:

I
know that virtue to be in you, Brutus,

As well as I do know
your outward favor.

Well, honor is the subject of my
story...(I,ii,96-98)

And,
when the crowd shouts for Caesar, Cassius tells Brutus that his name is as important as
Caesar's, his name is just as good, and that there was a Brutus once who would have
fought the devil to keep his status in Rome as easily as he would find a
king:

O, you
and I have heard our father say

There was a Brutus once
that would have brook'd

The eternal devil to keep his state
in Rome

As easily as a king
(I,ii,164-167)

With this
statement coming after the remark of Cassius that the fault of their destinies is not in
the stars, but in themselves, the suggestion that Brutus is as worthy of leading Rome as
is Caesar is apparent. When Brutus replies that he will tell Cassius later what he
thinks about the assassination plan, Cassius continues his
flattery:

I am
glad that my weak words

Have struck but thus much show of
fire from Brutus.
(II,i,182-183)

In still
another instance, Marc Antony flatters Brutus in Act III when he asks Brutus, who
he acknowledges as a "master spirit of this age," to kill him beside
Caesar:

No
place will please me so, no mean of death,

As here by
Caesar, and by you cut off,

The choice and master spirits
of this age. (III, i,
175-178)

In fact, after
Brutus tells him that he will provide the reason why Caesar has been assassinated, Marc
Antony flatters Brutus--"I doubt not of your wisdom"--as well as all the conspirators as
he asks to shake their bloody hands.  He even tells the
conspirators,

...you must conceit
me,

Either a coward or a flatterer.
(III,ii,208)

It is because of
this flattery from Marc Antony that Brutus makes the fateful error of allowing Antony to
give his funeral
oration.

Why does Kino keep saying, "I am a man." This can be found at the end of Chapter 4 of The Pearl.The Pearl by John Steinbeck

After returning home from the pearl buyers' office, Kino
and his brother Juan Thomas discuss what has happened.  Juan Thomas warns Kino that if
he goes to the capital, Kino may meet with only more disappointment.  After his brother
leaves, Kino hears noises outside; upon looking outside, Kino steps out and is struck on
the the head. Cleaning his wound, Juana tells Kino,

readability="7">

Kino, this pearl if evil.  Let us destroy it
before it destroys us.  Let us rush it between two stones.  Let us--let us throw it back
in the sea where it
belongs.

But, Kino looks
fiercely at her; against her protests, he declares himself man enought to fend off those
who would take it.  In order to silence Juana, Kino simply says, "I am a man."  When
Juana continues her protests, Kino merely answers, "Hush, ... I am a man. 
"Hush." 

Kino is a man like any other man.  He will defend
what is their property although he has broken "walls." and stepped out of "known
and trusted patterns.

What type of isomerism is pentane, pentene, dichloropentane, and bromochlorofluoromethane?Give me the type of isomerism of each substance listened...

The term "isomer" in organic chemistry, refers to two or
more substances that have the same molecular formula but different structures and
somewhat different physical and/or chemical
properties.

These differences in structure could be due to
how the carbon atoms are connected in the compounds (structural isomers), or due to how
the atoms around a double or triple bond are connected to the carbon atoms
(stereoisomers).

An example of an isomer would be butane
which has the chemical formula of C4H10. The four carbon atoms could be connected in a
straight line to form a linear molecule, or there could be three carbon atoms connected
in a line, with the fourth attached to the middle carbon of the first three. These would
be structural isomers.

The examples you list all have
different molecular formulas:

pentane =
C5H12

pentene =
C5H10

dichloropentane =
C5H10Cl2

bromochlorfluoromethane =
CHBrClF

so none is an isomer of any of the
others.

Now, pentane can have several different structural
isomers such as 2-methyl butane and 2,2 -
dimethylpropane.

Likewise, pentene - which contains one
double bond - can have multiple structural isomers (at least 5) as well as multiple
stereoisomers because of the double bond present in this
compound

In the epic Beowulf, what large event happens fifty years into Beowulf's reign?

Concerning Beowulf, I believe your
question refers to Beowulf's battle with the dragon and his resulting
death. 

Beowulf performs his last great feat by killing the
dragon that has been plaguing his people.  In the process of doing so he himself is
killed.  Of course, being an epic poem, the hero, Beowulf, has time to give a speech
before he dies. 

He asks his loyal subject--the only one to
stick by him during the battle with the dragon--to build a tower to serve as a beacon
for sailors and a remembrance of Beowulf. 

Beowulf's
killing of the dragon and his resulting death are the major events that occur at the end
of Beowulf's reign. 

Expand (2+3x)^5 in ascending power of x, up to x^3.

We'll apply Binomial
Theorem:

(a+b)^n = C(n,0)*a^n + C(n,1)*a^(n-1)*b + ... +
C(n,k)*a^(n-k)*b^k + .... + C(n,n)*b^n

We'll put a = 2, b =
3x and n = 5

(2+3x)^5 = C(5,0)*2^5 + C(5,1)*2^4*3x +
C(5,2)*2^3*9x^2 + C(5,3)*2^2*27x^3 + ...

C(5,0) =
1

C(5,1) = 5

C(5,2) = 5(5-1)/2
= 10 = C(5,3)

(2+3x)^5 = 32 + 5*16*3x + 10*8*9x^2 +

How does Ophelia take the news of her father’s death in Hamlet?

Ophelia is completely overwhelmed by her father's
unfortunate death. He was her advisor and warned her about Hamlet's deception and
forbade her to have any contact with him. 

Ophelia seems to
be desperately in love with Hamlet who has rejected her, asking her to "get ... to a
nunnery." It is difficult for her to understand Hamlet's inconsistent actions, for he
later seeks her attention again, asking to lay his head in her lap during the
performance of his play and making sexually suggestive
references. 

It is the knowledge of her father's untimely
death, the fact that Hamlet has treated her so badly, and the realization that the one
she loves is responsible for her father's demise, that drive Ophelia to mental
breakdown. She continuously sings senseless ditties which are a confused jumble about
death, dying, lost love and broken promises. This creates great concern in both Gertrude
and Claudius about her emotional and mental health. They instruct Horatio to watch her
closely.

Gertrude later informs Claudius and Laertes about
Ophelia's drowning. She was out picking flowers from the banks of a river. One of the
boughs on which she was leaning broke and she fell into the water, still singing.
Ophelia made no attempt to save herself and she was dragged into the depths by her
clothes which were weighted down by the water.

It seems as
if Ophelia either lost all hope and chose to die, or that she was incapable, in her
mental state, to understand the danger and therefore made no attempt to save
herself.    

In "Rules of the Game," what is the art of invisible strength?

This is a good question. The above answer does a good job,
but there is more. When Waverly was six years old, her mother began to teach her the art
of invisible strength. According to Waverly, the art of invisible strength was a
strategy that allowed her to win arguments and respect from others. Waverly's mother put
it in these words:

readability="9">

"Wise guy, he not go against wind. In Chinese we
say, Come from South, blow with wind-poom!-North will follow. Strongest wind cannot be
seen."

Waverly's mother
probably came to these conclusions as a Chinese woman who had to survive in a new world
and land. She needed to be shrewd, wise, and even manipulative at times. She needed more
than brute force; she needed invisible strength, an element of
surprise. 

As the story progresses, Waverly also commented
that the art of invisible strength was very helpful to her in her passion for chess.
Finally, Waverly used this art to counter her mother.
