Characters

THE WITCHES



To me I believe the witches look like very old women who are not that pleasent in appearance. Each one of these witches are very dark and mysterious and will give you the creeps. These witches faces are full of anger and disguist, they are not people but they are creatures. The three witches can scare anyone and all though they are mysterious they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves and can surprise anyone with the things they can do.


MACBETH


Macbeth is a very powerful man. He is elderly and and scruffy looking in the face. Macbeth is a quite handsome man who is full of pride and knows exactly how great he is. Macbeth will be the new king and everyone likes him greatly and sees the wonderful potential that he has in order to be the king. He will take over and become the best thing that has happened to the towns people. Macbeth is overall someone to be admired and cherished.

What is Ambition?

what is ambition? Is it good? Or is it bad? Ambition is a desire to succeed, to get ahead of the game. There are many times that ambition is a good thing, for example a person who is very ambitious will always try their hardest in everything they do. If someone who is smart and ambitious they will know how to handle situations and use their desire to be ambitious as a good thing. when beinng ambitious good isnt good enough and all though this can get you very far, ambition can also be bad thing. There are people who are ambitious but in a way that does more harm then good for themselves. For example someone that is overly ambitious can sometimes come off as a know it all or obnoxious.Being ambitious to a point where you may do innapropriaate or hurtful things to get ahead is not an ambition to be proud of. If i was asked if i wass ambitious? I would say yes to a certain extent. I try and do the best I can when it comes to my work but i would never use people or hurt others to higher up myself. Ambition can make or break someone, but with a good attitude you will o far.

32 Seconds of Death


Macbeth is a play about the ruler who is killed and replaced with the new king. This play tends to be very violent and death is no surprise at all, occurring almost every line. Throughout this play innocent people seemed to be killed and murdered for no reason at all.  Line one through ten is the build up to the death of the ruler, Macbeth has arrived all the townsmen are acknowledging his presence. The towns people want to make Macbeth the king and are now plotting to kill the ruler. After the ruler is killed Macbeth takes the throne and the cheers of the people are now cheering happy to praise King Macbeth. In this play I have observed that the town, more so then the current ruler, very well likes Macbeth. I have also observed that plenty of the people were killed, almost all of them. Some things I am curious about are things such as, why were all these people killed? What made them all turn on the ruler? And also what makes Macbeth so important? With more of the story I would like to find out all that has occurred prior and after the 32 second scene.

~Picture This~



Imagine a room where every inch you look is filled with something, not one empty space. Every time you turn around something new is suddenly right there in your face. Homer and Langley live in the brownstone mansion, a mansion filled of things not even imaginable. Picture yourself walking into a house of the most random things you will ever see, everything from jars with body parts in them to a car in the living room. Waking up to a mess in front of you, next to you, and all around you constantly. There is no telling what possessed Langley to gather all these things but it has lead the mansion to become a scene right out of TLC`s hoarding episodes. When entering the mansion you no longer feel as if you are in a house but a different world of mystery. All around are things that most people have never seen, with things placed randomly and falling off shelves it becomes something that may even look interesting. The scene is so unbelievable to a point where you start to think there is some sort of magic to this creation, that there is beauty behind it. In the years of collecting and meaning behind the items they start to bring life to the mansion, a place to escape from reality.....

Understanding....







We should care about literary texts because from them we can learn how to read more in depth and get more a vivid image of what you are reading. To care more about literature we can expand our knowledge and become more intelligent. By using the blogs we can understand literature more by feeding off each other’s ideas and learning other peoples perspective of literature. We can learn to understand better through the blogs because as students having a fun way to share ideas will expand the horizons of learning. A personal language program will help connect with others and make it easier and fun. By writing and reading blogs we expand our vocabulary and improve our writing skills. Reading other peoples blogs helps us develop different types of literature and understand the way that other people write. In my English class I have met plenty of students from other countries, by reading their blogs it is fun to see the way they have learned English and form words. Its very interesting to see the way that fellow classmates interpret text because of the way they were taught growing up. Being in an environment with people who have such different backgrounds is a great way to learn more. Other ways to blog that have become popular these days are facebook and twitter. Facebook allows others to connect and read about other people’s lives. Twitter is a way to blog that keeps people up to date on what you are spending your days and also about your thoughts and ideas.
