Read the following excerpt from "Why I Wrote 'The Passage'" and answer the question that follows.
Three decades later I was asked to write a creative piece about Automatic for the People, one of my favorite albums, by R.E.M., my favorite band. It was exciting. This particular project--one that commissioned a piece of creative writing for each of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time--had almost no constraints other than a word limit, so I decided to write a story. Then I listened to the album a lot. Several times a day, at home, in the car, wherever I was, I was listening, trying to figure out how to make a story out of the lines in the twelve songs. Because that's what I wanted to do--write a story that combined all the words in the lyrics in an entirely new way. This is what we call being overly ambitious.

"A man with no enemies is a man with no character" does anybody know the meaning to this quote??
Answer:
If a man faces no battles in life, he has nothing to build his character. Character can only be faced when a challenge is met. How can one say they have good character if they have never been faced with a decision to choose between right and wrong? Enemies need not be another person, they can be forces of nature, desires within oneself. Without these "enemies," character has nothing to challenge it to grow.

Read the excerpt from Act III of Julius Caesar.
Announcer 1: The crowd, which loved Pompey and then Caesar and now Brutus, waits to hear Antony speak.
Citizen 1: (With conviction) This Caesar was a tyrant.
Citizen 3: Nay, that's certain. We are blessed that Rome is rid of him.
Citizen 2: Peace, (He sees Antony trying to quiet them.) let us hear what Antony can say.
Announcer 2: Antony begins by stating he will only bury his friend, not say how good he was.
Antony: (Sadly) Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious. (He sighs.) If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answered it.
(He sighs again, and the citizens begin to feel uncertain about the "if'') He was my friend, faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man. (With grief) When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept! (Sarcastically) Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus is an honorable man.
Announcer 1: Antony then makes his main point - the crowd saw Caesar refuse the crown three times.
Antony: You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition? (The citizens shake their heads.) Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and sure, he is an honorable man. (By now the citizens exchange worried looks, as the facts do not make sense.)
(Pointing to Caesar's corpse) You all did love him once, not without cause. (He wipes tears from his face.) Bear with me. My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it come back to me. (He covers his face with his robe.)
Citizen 1: (Unhappily) Methinks there is much reason in his sayings.
Citizen 2: (Shocked) Caesar has had great wrong.
Citizen 4: Marked ye his words? He would not take the crown, therefore, 'tis certain he was not ambitious. (The others agree.)
How does Antony's speech change the viewpoint of the citizens?
They realize that Caesar should not have been murdered and Brutus misled them.
They understand that Brutus was telling the truth about Caesar's ambition.
Antony reminds them that Brutus is a good person, and only wants what is best for Rome.
Their love for Caesar is gone, and they are convinced that Antony should be the next emperor.
Answer:
Brutus joins the men in the conspiracy to kill Caesar but discourages them from killing Antony as well.
