Lady Macbeth Then and Now








E. Lady Macbeth starts off saying "A little water clears us of this deed. How easy it is, then!" this is Lady Macbeth after they have killed Duncan and she is trying to convince Macbeth of the no wrong doing and that they were justiified in doing this action, also that once they get rid of the evidence it is that it never even had happened. Then in act 5 Lady Macbeth says "What, will these hands ne`er be clean?" this is when she changes from evil to frantic and is worried that she shall never be able to live this incident down.

F. Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth "Get on your nightgown, let occasion call us And show us to be watchers." this is when the people have found out that Duncan had been killed and she is convincing Macbeth to act very ordinary and not allow anyone to suspect them. "Wash your hands. Put on your nightgown. Look not so pale." in act 5 is when Lady Macbeth is in a hysterical stage and they are trying to calm her down. She now feels mental in the head and sorrowful for what she has done, thinking that this will never go away.

G. Lady Macbeth says to Macbeth "Why do you make such faces? When all`s done, you look but on a stool."  Lady MAcbeth is telling Macbeth after the killing of Duncan to wipe that nervous face off and act as if everything is okay. Macbeth is worried and terrified and Lady Macbeth is trying to assure him that he is innocent. In scene 5 she says "I tell you yet again, Banquos burried; he cannot come out on`s gave" This is after being worried of banquos ghost and think that he is coming after them and will haunt them, Lady MAcbeth went from confident pushing around Macbeth to being a bit nervous and unsure.

When Bad Things Happen to Good People



Every day is a risk, there is not one morning that we wake up and don't risk the chance of death, but that`s life. All though no one cheats death, it can happens in ways that shake us all up. Ashley Stamp was on her way to becoming a professional skier, she had everything going for her along with one of the best personality and hearts that I've ever known. Living in Steamboat, Colorado she spent her days from school to training to taking care of her horses then spending the nights with her family. Ashley was invited to compete in one of the most honorable races held in Aspen. As Ashley was doing a course run a snow mobile came out of no where and accidentally hit the racer, she didn't receive the help she needed in enough time. Ashley was a beautiful person and touched many peoples lives, her memorial service was a candlelight service held in the mountains, her home away from home. I think to  myself constantly, why Ashley? she had so much to live for, so much more to accomplish. There are people in the world who did bad things every single day, but why did this have to happen to her? A question that will never have an answer but will always impact many lives. My prayers are forever with the family that has to live each day without her, I commend them for the amazing progress they have mad and on their spiritual outlook on life. Its always a mystery as to why things like this happen, but if there is one thing to take away from this tragedy, I would say she left everyone striving to do more, to realize that we get one chance at life and that we should cherish it while we can.

A pictures worth a thousand words


*Lady Macbeth wished a bloody death upon Duncan!
*Macbeh thinks the murder is a scary sick death!
These words all connect to blood and describe a part of the play. Blood is connected to death and scary as well as the the murder of Duncan. These words show Lady Macbeths feeling towards Duncan and how he does not care about Duncan and just wants him dead. Macbeth connects blood to the nervousness of being in trouble over his killing of Duncan and how the guilt is bestowed upon him. Each of these characters both relate to blood because of the killing they do, once Macbeth experienced the killing he seemed to have become in a state of the craziers, liking the power it had made him feel. 

*Macbeth will not be able to sleep because of his scary dreams.
*Lady Macbeth killed in the dark of the night.
The word night connects the play to the crime that occured. In this play the killing happens at the night time and it is in the darkness of the night that the secrets of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth come out. In the night time all the secrets of the king and queen have been covered up and because of the darkness in the night no one will know these secrets. Night refers to the deepest darkest secrets that occured when no one was watching. The night is when things happen that may be unlike the character, it had brought out a dark almost devilish side in each of these characters.

Cheating the System

There comes a time in every teenagers life when turning 16 means its time to drive! But getting a car isn't exactly that easy of a task, but half the battle is how you approach it. Parents can be tricky to deal with when doing so, the best way to go about it would be to indirectly convince them of all the benefits. All though it may seem a bit manipulative sometimes to get what you want you have to trick them into it. For example, when wanting a car a way to show your parents its necessary is applying for a job and joining sports. Soon your parents will realize how much of a hassle picking up and dropping off becomes. Also if you're lucky enough you can always play the sibling card. Striking a deal with your parents by implying if i had a car i could always pick them up for you is a great beneficiary way for everyone. There are many reasons as to why not coming right out asking for a car is a good think, considering what a big deal it is it may be a smarter idea to line up the proof to why it is necessary. Showing your parents how much it Will help is almost a full proof plan on your road to a new car!

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.
