Explanation:

The plot in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar portrays a man's conflict with another man's ambition.  There is an underlying strong unselfish patriotism, ambitious power grab, and heightened conspiracy with lack of analytical evidence.   Can a man betray and kill his greatest friend in order to stop him from acquiring power?  Many other men have murdered sleep just to ascend the throne themselves.  Unfortunately, such men do not deliver on good governance, because having satisfied their ambitions, they are often bereaved of good, honest, and noble ideas to move society forward.

moon-letters were a method of writing invented by the dwarves. moon-letters were ordinary runes, but written in such a way that they could only be read when the light of the moon shone behind the writing. some moon-letters could be read by any moonlight, but it was possible to make the writing even more secret. more sophisticated moon-letters could only be read by the light of the same shape of moon, or at the same time of year, as when they were written. hope this !

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
