blood

I would say that the most important theme in this book is blood. It is a main point in the book. People die all the time, and the scenes can be very bloody. The main character has a beginning when he fights the the enemy and kills lots of people when we don't see this as a big problem. Then when he starts to solo out people and the scenes become more bloody he then starts to be affected. So the more blood makes the main character feel the worst.

Also blood is very prominent for other characters too. Lady Macbeth has a scene when she is trying to wipe the blood off of her hand which is a very vivid scene. The movie scene in the play is a very good explanation of this. The scene is vivid and a great scene to explain what Shakespeare is trying to say.

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!- Lady Macbeth

This quotation is during the part where Lady Macbeth is basically saying that Macbeth is not being a man and trying to kill Duncan. She says she wants to be the man in this and not have any nice feminine parts or actions and be filled with cruelty and meanness. This part really shows the true character of Lady Macbeth. 

Let not light see my black and deep desires- Macbeth

This part is all about Macbeth having to deal with the morality issue of killing king Duncan. He doesn't want the perfect and pure light of the stars to see this evil and terrible craving to become king through killing king Duncan. He wants this to happen with no moral or physical consequences

"Umbrella" by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Lyrics

"Umbrella" by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Lyrics 


The rhyme scheme is very different than anything that we have learned in class. It jumps all over the place. At first it will have a ABAB scheme and stick with that for a stanza. Then it will switch to a AABB and keep that for another stanza and and then it will for to the refrain and go back to the ABAB. This songs likes to switch around alot. 
Ex:

It's raining, raining
Ooh baby, it's raining, raining
You can always come here to me
Come in to me

It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain
Come in to me, come in to me
It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain
Come in to me, come in to me

This song also keeps coming back to a common theme of the umbrella, the rain, and preparing for the rain. When it has the ABAB it has a happy moment, like the friendship and keeping the oaths. When it goes to a AABB it goes to the sad moments like the raining and preparing for the rain.

Break!1!!11!!!

Wasn't fun at all for me! Well it was good to not go to school for a while but it was very boring. As soon as I got home our family were trying to decide where to go. It comes down to the fact that the whole family cannot go to a place so I was stranded at home. I couldn't leave or do anything. It stunk.

So it came down to me deciding what to do. The first day I had to help my dad with the yard so that covered most of that day. Then the next day I just chilled at the house and played video games. So eventually had to go to soccer practice which was like the first time I went outside. This was my entire break.

Quotes

Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person.

 I would strongly agree with this statement because something about a person with ambition just gets me. When I meet someone with an extreme desire, they just have something that I want. A certain energy just radiates of them. A vibe, an energy just that everyone needs and wants. Macbeth becomes a person with ambition when he wants to become the new king. 

Who we are--our essential character and temperament--is fixed and unchangeable.

 It is kind of cliche but people change. It is true though. People gain new experiences and can completely change their whole view on life. In the beginning of Macbeth he says that if chance will king me then chance will crown me but then he goes and kills everyone

Poem

Wake up in the morning to a groggy sloppy, alarm
Bleeping with a repetition of blaring horns
Eyes crusty, with the attack of the sandman
Bright lights cracking through the dusty windows
Blaring into my eyes, pain-
Ful of joy to start the day
New, given by God
A gift, the present, We say that we are
Thankful for the things we have yet
Regretting these simply, hard times
Time, do not have a lot, but
Want it to pass, looking forward to a day,
But never back, remembering the happy and the pain,
Never the normal days, when it was just
Okay.
The normal, never different,
Un-deifying , good or bad
To early to think about, with all the
Lag
