HAFTA/WANNA

explain similarities/differences you see between your life during high school and life after high school.  Is there a significant difference?  Will people somehow magically transform the day after graduation, or will they take their current habits of mind/word/deed into their next set of daily activities?  How do you balance the things you want to do and the things you have to do, and what are your expectations of yourself and the world around you as you move on? 

My life during high school has been alright not much excitement but I think that after high school it will get harder. I think after the day of graduation some things will change except the things the love like activities but what changes will be how they will have to pay bills. In order to have things organized is to have a budget planned out to save money if needed and the rest of the money is to pay bills. My expectations is to do my best, get through college/university to get my degree even if others around me don;t want me to succeed.

BRAVE NEW WORLD

There was a time when the future seemed like it was guaranteed to be brighter and better than the present.  Is it still?  How do you see the future?  What is your view based on-- your own experience, movies, books, headlines, what adults say...?  Do you think it's set in stone or is the future something we can influence by making different choices in the present? 

 I see the future different such as how people will treat other people that aren't citizens or come from a different place. I think that movies will increase with different types of movies but there will be a decrease on books because now everyone does things on the internet. I think we can make better choices by choosing how we want our future to be such as good instead of bad things going on.

THE INTERDISCIPLINARY

The three subjects that I will be doing to become a Veterinary is animal science, chemistry, math and physics. These are all related on how you can know more about the animals. If they need surgery you will need to know your math and animal parts in order to do surgery. There are many other things that a Veterinary needs to know such as science and communication. These subjects are necessary in order to be a Veterinary. Since I want to build my own business the other subjects I need is too know about Economics, computer science, and Business Management.

BIG QUESTION

How can I become a Veterinary and build my own business? I think that in order to become what I want to become and build by own business I have to study really hard such as go to college and go to a university. In total of years to become a Veterinary takes up about 8-9 years. Since I want to build my own business after I graduate I have to be committed to what I'm about to build that is work most hours and to be prepared of what can happen such as money and consumers.

Macbeth Essay

             Imagine that one day you were respected and all of the sudden you are doing things that made people to not give you respect. Well something like that happened to Macbeth in a play that Shakespeare wrote. Macbeth is about drama but it is also about how someone would do anything in order to seek power. In the beginning there was an appearance of a trio of witches. The witches promised him fame and honor withholding important information of consequences that follow. The witches told him what was going to happen but he hears them out but ignores the rest information.

            In the play of Shakespeare there was a male person called Macbeth. Macbeth was a respected person, he is described as brave, fearless, and yet to become ambition. He has won recognition of his bravery in battle, his defeat of the king of Norway, and the Rebellious Macdonwald. The first of the witches bring out his ambitious nature but struggle by killing the king. Lady Macbeth convinced him to commit the first of his evil deeds. Lady Macbeth influences in Macbeth's' decisions.

           Macbeth was respected until he went from a war hero to a murdering villains. Macbeth was becoming more corrupt, evil after killing a person by cutting him in half and putting his head on a stick to send a warning message. Macbeth wants to become king of Scotland and lady Macbeth wants to be queen. Macbeth has to kill the king in order to get a higher power but he won't kill him. 

He changed his plans for sure killing the king but he became paranoid that everyone is out to get him.

         Lady Macbeth makes sure that the people think Macbeth his an "Innocent Flower" to hide his serpent in his heart.Macbeth had his suspicious of Banquo, Macbeth wants Banquo and his son murdered. Witches greet Banquo that he is less than Macduff and greater, "Not so happy, yet much happier. The witches said that Banquo is less but greater man. The witches tell Macbeth he cant be harmed by anyone "of woman born" but Macduff was surgically removed from the womb.

          When the battle happened, Macduff confronted Macbeth and he cuts Macbeth's head off. Macduff shows the head to the people and more of them were happy that he was dead. At the end Malcolm mentions that lady Macbeth committed suicide. This tone of the play is dark, ominous and unnatural crimes. This play was full of surprises such as how Macbeth went from good to bad since he met the witches. It was also impressive how people were killed in this play and the rest of the people were happy about their deaths.

FINISH HIM

Explain the end of Macbeth.  Why do you think Shakespeare chose to conclude the play this way? The end of Macbeth was tragic how people were relief when Macduff killed Macbeth by having his head in his hands showing the rest of the people. I think that Shakespeare chooses to conclude the play such as with drama. In Hamlet it was how everyone died and only one staying alive to tell the story. In the play of Macbeth a few die such as Macbeth being killed. I think that play was good because what Macbeth did he got karma back but it was a surprise when it meant that people were relief when they saw his head cut off.

GETTING TO THE POINT OF MACBETH

 "It seems like every great work of literature has at least one main idea that readers take away.  In Macbeth, the main idea has to do with the destruction of when ambition goes unchecked by moral constrains. Macbeth is not naturally inclined to commit evil things but he really wants power and advancement. Macbeth makes an important point about the nature of violence even those done for selfless reasons.

MY THOUGHTS ON SHAKESPEARE'S WORDS

1.       Banquo says: Thou hast it now—King, Cawdor, Glamis, all/ As the weird women promised, and I fear/ Thou played’st most foully, for’t.

·        Literal Interpretation: Shows why Macbeth fears Banquo and wants him dead.

·         Symbolic/Thematic Interpretation:Fear

2.       Macbeth says: They hailed him father to a line of kings./ Upon my head they placed a fruitless crown/ And put a barren scepter in my grip.

·        Literal Interpretation: Two aware that the witches' prophesy suggests a conflict over power including banquo's heirs.

·         Symbolic/Thematic Interpretation:Witches

3.       Lady Macbeth says: Naught’s had, all’s spent,/ Where our desire is got without content./ ‘Tis safer to be that which we destroy/ Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy.

·        Literal Interpretation: If you get what your want  and you're still not happy. you've spent everything and gained nothing.

·         Symbolic/Thematic Interpretation:No Fear

4.       Macbeth says: Better be with thee,/ Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent peace,/ Than on the torture of the mind to lie/ In restless ecstasy.

·        Literal Interpretation: Try's to convince her husband that "what's done, is done"

·         Symbolic/Thematic Interpretation:Life's fitpul fever

5.       Macbeth says: I am in blood/ Stepped so far that, should I wade no more,/ Returning were as tedious as go o’er.

·         Symbolic/Thematic Interpretation: I am in blood stepp'd in so far

DECISIONS, DECISIONS

Explain how you make important decisions?
I think how I make important decisions is choosing to do the good or bad. I think that an important decision can be picking what you want out of what others would want to do the opposite.

PACK YOUR BAGS, WE'RE GOING ON A GUILT TRIP

Have you ever done something that made you feel guilty?
 There was a time when I got into an argument with my mom that I was so mad I said some horrible things. I felt so guilty that when I wasn't upset anymore, I went to go apologize for the things I said during the argument.

I'm Sold

What is so persuasive about persuasion?  How is it that some people seem to manage to get their way?  How did you come to believe what you believe?
  I think that persuading someone to do or believe something is to know their experience. It can also be the use of temptation. I think what I came to believe is the stories or the evidence to prove what they are saying.
