re do 5/5 blog post

Lady Macbeth: 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.
Act 3.2

I believe that this quotation here is pretty important. So rite now the Macbeth's have killed duncan and are about to kill Banqo. They have gotten all that they want. He is king. No one knows about the murder, and everything is going nicely. But as Lady macbeth said, they are still not happy. They have everything they wanted and are not happy. I just find that weird. She said we have worked and gotten what we want, but our disiers did not make us  happy. It was safer for us to just leave everything alone, than to live how we are now. Not happy at all, when before we were.

Lady Macbeth
The raven himself is hoarse 
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan 
Under my battlements. Come, you spirits 
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, 
And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full 
Of direst cruelty. Make thick my blood, 
Stop up th’access and passage to remorse, 
That no compunctious visitings of nature 
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between 
Th’ effect and it. Come to my woman’s breasts, 
And take my milk for gall, you murd’ring ministers, 
Wherever in your sightless substances 
You wait on nature’s mischief. Come, thick night, 
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, 
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, 
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, 
To cry ‘Hold, hold!’ 
Act 1.5

In this one lady macbeth is preparing herself to kill duncan. It's pretty evil, and its important because it marks the preparation of the first murder. She said make my blood thick, make me not human. Make me cruel. Bring forth the night, and don't let the stars see. Don't let me or my knife see what the wound makes, nor let the heaves see through the dark for it is something to terrible.

macbeth


At the beginning of Macbeth, we talked about some of the big ideas we would find in the play.  Choose one that you think the play is most about, or that we should most pay attention to.  Support your choice with a two-paragraph discussion of how we have seen this issue in the play.  Do you think this issue is part of a theme (a statement the play is making about that topic)?  If so, what?


3. Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature.

I believe that this is the biggest idea that we talked about in this play. Wy you ask? Well it is simple, it is all about betrayal, violence, lying and murder. It's all about the darkness in human nature. We see it all the time. Here are some examples. Duncan trusted Macbeth, bad Idea. Macbeth invited duncan to his house and killed him. He then went and killed his best friend because he now knew that the prophesy was coming true. He then lied about killing all these people. He used violence to kill all of them.

So as you can see, all of it adds together. The whole play is about lying, betrayal, and violence. I think this whole issue is part of the theme of the play. It also is what makes it interesting. Who doesn't like some good old fashioned betrayal and conflict. Any way I believe that this is the biggest idea and theme that we have talked about in this play.

what if

What if we lived in a place
with no future time or place
What if we were green and tall
and had six limbs instead of four
what if one day we woke up
and all knowledge was lost
what if reality wasn't reality
and instead it was our dreams that are
What if there is some one out there
other than us and looking down
what if we were all robots
or could fly or breath under water
what if we did not live on earth
but instead on mars or in a far away galaxy
what if there were goblins
and ghouls
fairies and elves
little blue sheep and cats with nine tails
what if there was a dragon
and a castle in the sky
or a complex civilization
that had Jedi
what if we were wizards
or witches with a broom
what if we had super powers
or extreme genius to
what if all things we drew came to life
and interdomintanal portals could be used
to travel to other places
What if is what the thinker asks
what if is what makes the artest draw
or writer write
and thinkers think
and inventors invent
and the things around us change
what if is the question that brings about no reality
and boggles the mind
but keeps us from never getting board
and makes ourselves advance forward
what if is what people live by
the what if is what makes one do things
we live by the what if
and all people have the what if
but what if we are not people
then the what if still lives
and in the civilization of that being
the what if does the same
and those creative thoughts keep journing
and all things come to place
for it is what we live by
what if.

self assesment

I feel like I could have done better this week. I partially think this is because I was tired and had just came back from vacation. I still think I participated a lot, but I could have done better. I would give myself a B.

Assessment

I feel pretty good about the work and participation I did this week. However I knead to remember to bring all my stuff. I feel like I participated well, and helped out. However I  know I can do better with acting, and staging, and helping out there. I men I love to act, and I didn't quite give my best performance this weak but next weak I will do better. I feel like I participated a lot in class with reading, and acting and stuff. I feel like I could help out more with interpreting the text though. I really have only ben listening to others. All in all I think I have done well. I think I would give my self a B.

Women are more compassionate and less violent than men.

I diss agree with this statement. Throughout history women have ben seen as inferior. They were seen as the gentle care givers, the sweet ones, the gentle mothers, the soft kiss, the compassionate one, not the iron fist. No that title was given to men. And one thing no one ever thought was that women were violent. It was stereotyped. However I know that girls are violent, and mysterious, and just as tuff as men. Theres no denying it. You all know that because of these stereotyping a lot of murders, and cases dun and or saved ect by women happened because of the stereotype. We all know that famous school kid thing or action hero thing when the girl challenges a guy to a fight and he's like "She's only a girl," then the next thing you know she is kicking his but. Yes, while men are usually seen as the violent ones women can be to. THey can be the iron fist, and pretty violent.
