Quotations

So, for my quotation I chose "By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes." 4.1.44-45

This is important because one of the witches said it about Macbeth, and what she is saying is that Macbeth is more wicked than she.  She's saying that Macbeth has fallen so far that he is more evil than the weird sisters and this is really important because the weird sisters are really, really messed up. They curse men and women  for doing things they don't like, they fooled Macbeth into murdering the King to become king for a short length of time.  The witches are some really crazy people they are Satan's workers and do his deeds of satanism.

The other quote I'll use is "Fair is foul and foul is fair." 1.1 11-12

This is important because it leads up to tell us that we should find the good things bad and bad things good.  For example, the death of Macbeth is... bad I mean somebody died.  However, him dying is good because the poison he had placed in Scotland was gone, he was vanquished.  It's a lot like Breaking Bad, you see no matter how far Walter White descended into evil, we still wanted him to win!! *SPOILER ALERT* IF U WANT TO WATCH BREAKING BAD DON'T READ!! When he poisoned Brock you were like "Well he did it to get Jesse to help him!" No, he's a crazy sociopath and you know that, but you still wanted him to succeed and live through all the people after him.

Fate cannot be changed

Well the main thing in Macbeth is once you realize your fate that it WILL happen.  For example in the book when Macbeth is told he'll be king... He does become king.  Personally if you for any reason know the fate of someone or what is going to happen to them in the future (Highly unlikely I know.) I dont think you should tell them.  I say that because if Macbeth had never discovered this he would have never even considered murdering the king he would've been fine with being the Thane of Glamis and Cawdor.

So I agree that if you discover your fate it WILL happen, I think that there's something that'll make you really, really want what you've been told you'll receive.  Like, if somebody told me that I was going to be King of the World but first I'd become a billionaire and then I did... I would believe that person and then I would have that hope in my stomach to become king.  No matter what I said, no matter what I did, I would have a deep feeling in me that would want to be king.  It's just that simple.

Free Post

Free Posts are always the most difficult of the blog posts because I never have anything worth reading because it's normally boring and uninteresting.  Hmm, I got nothing to write about.. I could talk about how close it is to summer and how I'm 1 year closer to getting out of this prison we call a school.  But that's a bit generic (And it shows how pessimistic I am about school.)  I could talk about video games or movies I can't wait to see, but then I'd look like a nerd.  Gosh, I'm absolutely conflicted this is difficult, I'm in such a pickle this is embarrassing.  Hmm, let's see I guess I could talk about the greatness that is Macbeth but I mean it's a free post and that's kind of lame for a free post.  Man, this shows you how uninteresting my thoughts are I could tell you how long I've been sitting her thinking of something interesting to talk about... About 7 minutes.  Yea, that's a long time and I've been writing down my thoughts as an idea (Clever, I know.) 

Now, the second paragraph is a bit more difficult because I can't really just repeat what I said.  This should be difficult, I didn't think this through.  Oh stupid me. WAIT!!  I'll take this as an opportunity to talk about how difficult this second paragraph is supposed to be.  BRILLIANT! But, will Dr. D like that idea?? Hmm, I guess it's alright because it's a free post and I'm doing it so I guess it's alright.  What a clever turn of events, I found something to ramble on about and I got my blogs done!! Hooray for Zoidberg!!

Response to 2 statements

 Women are more compassionate and less violent than men.

I completely disagree with this because there are plenty of women who are extremely violent... I think that both genders can be just as violent as the other.  I think that gender only makes humans different in a few physical aspects.  The obvious ones are obvious but I mean men and women can both be compassionate or violent.  Gender doesn't really matter because in our world.


Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person

Ambition can be a powerful thing, but too much ambition can make a person be just rude and ruthless.  For example, if your an ambitious student that might mean you get good grades and go to a good college.  But if your an ambitious money maker  you would go to any extent to make some dough.  Like, robbing a bank or scamming some people.  But being ambitious can only take you so far, but what you do with that ambition will take you places and help you in life.

Write a poem

I'm so bad at poetry I don't know what to do so this will be bad



This is about school


I wake up in the morning with a big scowl
Then I hop outta bed and wash my face with a towel
It's another ridiculous day where I have to endure school
I walk around campus looking and acting like a fool
Once I eat my food and brush my teeth I depart
After that I walk in to the locker hall and leave for art
The day drags on, and I slowly lose energy
My day is full of boring and me snoring
That's not eve half through, oh no then lunch happens
Yay, a delicious meal.  Oh wait no It's mongolian beef
Never mind I'll go get a nice sandwich,
But no they run out and eventually tutorial begins
I think gee I have study hall last, what a win, win
No, I sleep and sleep only to remember I have practice
At practice I throw lots of things and I run and end up being exhausted
I can go home now? NO! I have Mock trial
I listen and listen to the lawyers speak lawyer talk
and then I fall asleep and yay!


Ok, so like I said I'm not very good at poetry unfortunately, and I feel like I used a couple caesuras, slant rhyming and rhyming.  Not very good poem I get that but it's the thought that counts.
