He wept

Antony states, 'When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.' This shows Caesar's compassion and empathy for the suffering of common people. Antony uses this example to counter Brutus's claim that Caesar was ambitious and power-hungry. A truly ambitious person wouldn't show such emotional connection to the poor. This detail helps Antony build his argument that Caesar was caring, not selfish.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare wrote 'Antony's Speech', which is from his famous play 'Julius Caesar'. Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language. The text identifies him as the author and provides his biographical information, noting he wrote about 38 plays and 154 sonnets during his career.

First class

Gandhi had a First Class ticket, which he mentions when questioned by the conductor. He says, 'I have a ticket. A First Class ticket.' He explains he sent for it by post because he was an attorney and didn't have time to buy it in person. This detail is crucial because it shows Gandhi had the legal right to be in that compartment, making his ejection purely based on racial discrimination.

The Kingdom of God is Within You

Gandhi was reading 'The Kingdom of God is Within You' by Leo Tolstoy. The text specifically mentions this when describing Gandhi's engagement with the book - he grins at insights and looks thoughtful. This book by the Russian writer Tolstoy influenced Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence. The detail shows Gandhi as an intellectual who was studying important philosophical works.
