I really like the picture you added in the middle. Also, you explanation for your excerpt was good.
I really liked the way you used that picture and the effects...
and also the way you connected it to yourself, it helps the viewer understand when to use the word...
Wow the effect was good but why did you do the blurring effect for the last part? It is good that you connected the word with yourself. Was that picture about Caesar?
