In my opinion I think that fast track should not be allowed. The reasons why will be said in later paragraphs. 

My first reason why is because it is not fair for all of the people that might not be able to afford fast track. If they want to buy someone a present for their kids, girlfriend or boyfriend then it would be hard for them to buy fast track. It could be expensive depending on the ride.

My second reason is because people sometimes stand in the line for nearly an hour or maybe more. When people come past with fast track it can frustrate people. Some people may realise that you have to wait in queues and understand that when you pay for fast track that is not fair on others.

My third reason is because fast track is like cheating in a sport. For example. When you are a runner in the Olympics and you pay for steroids that put you infront of people, it is like the same as paying for fast track because it puts you infront of people in the line.

The conclusion for this piece is that I think that paying for fast track is wrong. I also think that paying for fast track is unfair to all the people that have been waiting in the line for over an hour.

my question is what is the significance of Caesar’s “north star” speech in the capitol? how did this speech make you feel about Caesar? the conspirators?

“I could be well moved if I were as you. if I could pray to move, prayers would move me. but I am as constant as the northern star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament. the skies are painted with unnumbered sparks; they are all fire, and everyone doth shine; but there’s but one in all doth hold his place.”

these lines comes from Caesar’s speech in act 3, scene 1, just before his assassination. The conspirators have come to Caesar in the senate under the pretence of pleading for amnesty for Metullius’s banished brother, Publius Cimber. Caesar replies that he will adhere his word and not change his earlier decision. Comparing himself to the north star, Caesar boasts his constancy, his commitment to the law, and his refusal waver under any persuasion. This comparison implies more than steadfastness, however: the north star is the star by which sailors have navigated since ancient times, the star that guides them in their voyages, just as Caesar leads the Roman people. so, too, is the north star unique in its fixedness; as the only star that never changes it’s position in the sky, it has “no fellow in the firmament.” Thus, Caesar also implies that he is peerless among Romans. Caesar declares that he alone remains “unassaliable” among men, and his strictness in Publius Cimber’s case illustrates this virtue.
