How Does Deius Manipulate Caesar

My project is an optical illusion that displays Decius’s ability to be able to manipulate something completely changing the meaning of the picture. Since, Decius was able to flip Calpurnia's terrible dream to almost exactly the opposite of what she had told Caesar. This caused Caesar to change his mind and go to the senate where Decius and the other conspirators took his life. I have shown in my project of this word “LIVE” to represent the fact that before Decius’s came along that Caesar never would have gone to the senate which the conspirators then would not have been able to kill Caesar. If you turn the picture upside down, the word changes and is now “FALL” to represent the fall of Caesar because of Decius’s new interpretation of the dream.

The turning of the paper upside down correlates with Decius’s ability to manipulate Calpurnia's dream. In addition both the dream and the picture are not changing, it is the simply the point of view at which you look upon it. This is important as I made it, and if I did not tell you that there were two ways to look at it, you would simply see the side at which I portrayed it as. Decius is special as he was able to look at something and instantly change it to the other way manipulating the meaning. As it took me hours and hours just to turn some letters upside down allowing them to look like other letters! Many of us would do the same as me, in which we can not interpret things as quickly and effectively as Decius could. Than my favorite part of the project especially is the rustic background look that the picture displays (burn marks included). As Decius is able to manipulate Caesar into going because of this new mindset that decius told him he would be a relic or stain. Although Decius was simply trying to just persuade him to going so he would die, little did Decius know that he would be revenged and that many people would look to Caesar as a noble ruler in the
