Macbeth essay

The future we long for isn’t going to happen by itself.  It is reached by the way we obtain it. It doesn’t matter how you reached there as long as you got there. This may be a motto to some, to those who enjoy the feeling of being on top of everyone else. Just like Macbeth by Shakespeare, once a man who was loyal and kind became mind who just became selfless to benefit his own life. To not care for anything else but the power he has set upon.

            How it’s reach people may not seem if it is a good intention or in a bad way. Reaching the goal until it is reached, it matters how because it reaches the definition of what it was meant to be for. “You want high office by righteous means” A way of this goal it to be a leader of the people who’s known to be noble and righteous. It’s like a way of communism.” If fate says ill be king, well, fate may crown me without my help” Whatever the goal may be, it is also determination. Some goals are just out of reach. To challenge against the odds, people are open to different decisions.

            Macbeth isn’t a true king but a man with just a title. “That every moment he’s alive, stabs me to the heart” His way of doing things after the goal of the Macbeth couple wanted became worse as his dream as king was going to die. People with greed wont mean anything if they reach their goals. Those who are aware wont make any further mistakes. “I’ve nothing to our spur me on but high-leaping ambition, which can often bring about one downfall’s.”  When someone reaches their goal with hard work, they won’t need to worry about future plans.  Doing it the right way also teaches you good habits. Doing it without shortcuts helps you as a person and your goals will mean more when you realize what you did to accomplish it.

            Not like Macbeth, without cheating his way there, he got messed up because of how he chose to become a king.  “Free from our feasts and banquets bloody knives. Do faithful homage and receive free honors.” The good is noticed by their way of living and how they do things. Friends and family will know how you got there and how you are now. He’s worth sorrow and I’ll give it to him”. Something simple like getting above average grades has its way of shortcuts. Cheating then getting an A, it matters how you got that A. It won’t benefit a person either way and will struggle in the future.

            It doesn’t matter how you reached there as long as you got there. You can get find a shortcut or either be patient to reaching a goal. In a inhumane way, it just takes the true meaning of what the goal defines. The importance of it will just disappear. But if one kind do it, then he is worthy of what he has become.

Macbeth Pre-Reading work

1. Disagree- every man isn’t motivated by a female to try harder in the things they do. There are people who are pushed by their mother. But for me, our future wants are the things that want me to try harder in life or the goals that I want to reach.

2. Agree- I believe there are evil presences in this world and in the after life.  It is hard to believe that there are evil that may exists and could affect us. Seeing movies that involve this can make us really imagine about it.

3.  Agree- if you know that you will never obtain something the right way, it is natural for us to go the opposite way to do it. It may also become a addiction because of the stuff we get. From experience, I lied myself to people for the things I wanted or to avoid trouble.

4. Agree- everything cant go you’re way. It may be good now but eventually you’re going to go through rough times. Like in video games, I thought I was going to win every time but then I went on a massive losing streak.

5. Agree-our wants can lure us into terrible decision-making. Everyone in this world will always want something and if we have the opportunity to obtain it, of course we will be tempted. I get tempted often but knowing the outcome prevents me from making that decision.

6. Agree- even if it may mean death to that person, it is betters then the death of a country. Preventing it from getting worse, that person should do whatever he can to make the country better. Like a group, if the person were influencing others, I would try my best to confront him.

7. Agree- it is right if the person is like cereal killer or unstable person who does really terrible things. If the person is gone, this will prevent future incidents that could be caused by them. Seeing movies/film would make us feel that the person with all the evil deeds should deserve death.

8. Disagree- to be successful, it should be only done through hard work. There should not be shortcuts when having a healthy future. Now, cheating on you’re work or doing other options to have it the easier way isn’t right to get through school. In the future cheating will not have done anything to help you.

9. Disagree- everyone is created equally in his eyes. Its up to the individual person in what they do in life. In this world, we always witness the world’s leader change from time to time. There are no kings.

10. Agree- the situations people are in make people realize what they need to do. It may help a person in a way with the decisions they make. On a day when I was about to burn all money, it said I needed to cut back on spending.

11. Disagree- traitors are still people like us. They might have made the wrong decisions but it might have been for a reason. These reasons might be for the better or worse. When you’re friends talk behind you’re back, it’s like being a traitor. But it always leads us to forgiveness.

PARTNER-BLAYDE BIACAN

1.  Evil is already inherited in everyone once you are born. It is because of Adam and eve that there are sins in this world. No one can be pure and if we try to resist a bad decision, we will always be tempted. It is also an evil thing to have bad thoughts. All humans are the same, the way we eat, think, shower, etc. Humans can never be away from the options that may bring them terrible situations.

2.  It is fate because I believe the things that will happen in our lives was planned or things that were to be the way that is. The things we do will intertwine with each other’s like it was meant to do. The decisions we make play a huge part of the things to come.

3. I don't think redemption is possible because people will never forget the thing that you did. You can’t simply put a truly bad act and everyone has forgotten an act like it. It is really hard to fully recover because it might have ruined you’re life.

4. It is possible to still admire to respect a person even doe they have made a bad decision. We liked them because of what their known for, we shouldn't dig into their personal life because we all make wrong choices.

5. It depends on what the person is doing to achieve this goal. If it affects other people, then they should stop. It is unnecessary to put other people to a hard matter. It depends on what their goals is too because everyone is different.

LC #1

1.  For each of the new decree or action done to the jews by the germans, Wiesel made sure the reactions of the other jews had hope instead of giving up during the hardest times. When they were going on the train, they had it going easy and had a positive side because they thought they were going somewhere safe. Wiesel shows that the smallest thing can give them hope. When the people were on the train, people were broken and saw out was has been happening to the others. He had shown that they were lucky to show where they are now and to survive. When the people got off, they all had given up and thought it was the end. But he showed happiness to see the people that made it through.

2.
"God could have devised no torment in hell worse than that of sitting there among the bundles, in the  middle of the road, beneath a blazing sun."

"Poor devils your going to the crematory"- the enemy did inhumanity things and felt like it was nromal for them

"Today anything is allowed"- to do anything to other people and show that what these people went through was a nightmare and torture to them everyday

"For the first time i felt revolt rise in me" -He wanted to be as positive as he could no matter what the situation was

"Your brave my boy" -doing everything he could and face the impossible when it was possible to him

Final poster allusion


Allusion PoemFinal


For what people want
It may not be important or just something everyone wants to prove
For that he was the last
The behind and the slowest

Being the guy to be in the back of the pact
It seemed normal but to him it was whack
Nothing less to expect from them
To have the same aspects as one
Standing out isn’t most likely going to happen
They may not care how there like
Of course we will lose the short run
They only think about having fun

The long run is where it matters
Standing out or proving a point, it doesn’t matter
They underestimate us by how we appear
I didn’t have anything to fear
All I can see that the end was near

In the end I was shocked
To see they didn’t finish what they started
I was mocked
The one who could win got cocky and fell
Asleep on its goal
That’s why we are able to see
it was all me
