Innocent People
"When bad things happen to good people"
Knowing that Macduff is in England, Macbeth sends murderers to Macduff's home. The murderers kill Macduff's wife and young child. In Macbeth, bad things happen to innocent and good people. The same is true of our world. In this blog post, consider an example of bad things that happen to good people. Explain a situation, and then explain how YOU make sense of it -- or how you deal with the fact that you can't make sense of it. You can make this post as personal or as abstract as you want. Try for 300 words.
In the play Macbeth, several of the characters are described as both good and innocent. They all get murdered for something that they are accused of. It ranges from killing a ruler to just men. In the real world, bad things happen to good and innocent people ranging from being abused, killed, molested, or robbed.
An example to fit the topic relates to a family friend. This family friend was described as being both innocent and trustworthy. He was involved with many things in life from starting organizations, running for a board position, and controlling his business. During one of the organizations that he was considered a board position, some of the other clients were giving some of the members a hard time. He would help to mediate the clients as well as the members. The situation worked out making everyone feeling cheerful and glad. Two years after this situation, he was diagnosed with a serious disease. The medical doctors who tried to help him said that they are unable to save him and only time will tell. After about three weeks, he died. About two weeks later, some of the people at one of the organizations were starting a conflict by removing board positions randomly and organizing events without notifying anyone about them. This really had an effect on me because he is one of my parents’ closest friends. My parents have known him for about 12 years. He was the type of person who worked strenuously and always had a sense of humor. As a student, I believe that he should have taken a day off from work and rest his body. By doing this, he would not have died early. At the same time, people should take care of their own conflicts and prevent them from letting others worry about it.

Blood Map
The word blood is used in Act I-III of Macbeth. Some of the words that are related to blood include birth, bloody, cold, death, evil, flow, gore, guilt, guts, hate, health, heart, kill, kinship, murder, red, sad, and stab. The word blood is associated in the book because Macbeth kills Duncan, gets the murderers to kill Banquo and Macduff’s family. It comes to place because Banquo, Duncan, Lady Macbeth, Lady Macduff, Lady Macduff’s son, and Macbeth die. The word blood points to evil and guilt because the Macbeth household plans the killings and ask the murderers to kill each character that Macbeth wants dead. When someone dies, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth begin to feel guilty for their actions and decide to cover things up by washing off blood and putting on a different outfit. They also wipe blood on the guards, that way others will think that someone else pulled off the killings.

Word Map
Death, guilt, and murder are descriptions that links to Macbeth. Macbeth is described to be very guilty for what he does and making plans to murder Duncan. Macbeth wants to be the king of Scotland. Guilt, kinship, and gore are descriptions that connect to Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is ravenous for power and would do anything for her husband to be the new king. She is the wife of Macbeth who is described as being cruel, harsh, and violent. Lady Macbeth puts her life in jeopardy in order to be the sovereign of Scotland. She is very good at creating problems for people, in order to get them out the way so she can help win her husband’s goal. For example, a massacre was planned for Duncan that will put jeopardy on his life. She and Macbeth both want to be rulers of Scotland. One is to be the king and other to be queen. Since Duncan is the current king of Scotland, he does not realize that he will be murdered in the near future.

Subtext
Option 2: Write a dialogue (funny or not) between two characters. In the dialog, one character should be trying to get something from the other character -- but trying to do so indirectly. You might include the "subtext" in a different font, or you might just make the subtext obvious by the outcome of the conversation.
Two Characters
Brandon
Matthew
Last night, Brandon forgot to do my homework in math. He decides to ask Matthew for the questions and answers. Brandon sees Matthew walking down the hall.
Brandon: Hello!
Matthew: Hello! How are you?
Brandon: Good. Let me ask you something.
Matthew: Go ahead. Ask a way?
Brandon: I forgot to do my homework last night. I was hoping you could hook me up.
Matthew: Only this time. Ok
Brandon: Thanks! Meet me in the restroom on the 3rd floor.
Matthew: Okay!
Brandon: I walked to the restroom on the 3rd floor and waited.
Matthew: Okay, I am here! Where are you?
Brandon: In the first stall, doing my business
Matthew: Here is the paper.
Brandon: Take the paper. Wait there is doughnuts at the café. Can I give you the paper later?
Matthew: Sure!
Brandon: I took his paper and copied the problems and answers. I went to the 1st floor after I copied the homework.
Matthew: I’m back. Where are you? There was no answer.
Matthew: Don’t do this to me. Where are you? There was still no answer.
Brandon: I headed to my math class and put my things down. As I went out, someone was waiting for me.
Matthew: Aha! You took my paper and copied the answers. Then you got rid of the paper. How dare you? Oh ya, do you have your English homework.
Brandon: Yes I do.
Matthew: Can I see it. I heard that they are giving out free t-shirts at the library, but wait they might see you. Leave the paper with me. When you are done, go to class.
Brandon: okay.
Brandon: I took his essay, removed his name and put my name on it.
Matthew: I wonder if he might be doing something fishy just like what I did to him.
Brandon: Now sitting in my seat and waiting for the teacher to ask for homework, I wonder if he will know what I did.
Brandon: I wonder if he still can find the math homework.
Brandon: Hmm, there will be no end to this.
Matthew: Hmm, there will be no end to this either.

Macbeth & King Duncan Explanations
After reading this far, you should be able to form a picture in your mind of the characters. Think about the witches, Macbeth, Banquo, Angus, and Ross. What would they look like?
I think that Macbeth would look like Vlad III or Vlad the Impaler. Macbeth is considered as someone who is very violent and murderous. He is described similar to Vlad because they both share similar traits and personalities. During the medieval times, people would wear clothing of their own time period. Vlad is wearing a coat with buttons and a triangular hat. His hair is really long and he has a mustache. In most of Shakespeare’s’ plays, the characters wear a similar hat that Vlad wears. The silver beads wrapped around his head gives a clue as to if he is wealthy or not. Macbeth wants to be a ruler and is also really wealthy.
I think that the Burger King’s King is an appropriate picture for my character. My character is a king just like a restaurant’s mascot. The crown in the picture resembles the one placed on Duncan’s head. In the picture, the coat worn by a king resembles a similar coat that King Duncan of Scotland wears. One filled with value, wealth, and respect. The jewelry worn on the king’s hand shows that King Duncan is wealthy since he is the ruler of Scotland. Everything that the character in the picture has resembles similar aspects of Duncan’s clothing.

How to define ambition?
BLOG ASSIGNMENT # 5 AMBITION.
Is ambition something absolutely positive? Is there a dark side to it? How do you feel and think about ambition?
Aiming to be the best is what ambition means to me. Aiming in terms of being the top in the class or possibly the grade. In order to get me there, I have to work hard to earn that accomplishment. When this ambition comes to me, I will try my best to get there. In order to be the best you must beat the best. In my case, determination is something that is absolutely positive. When I take a viewpoint into working and taking pride, there is something that comes to me that is positive. Since I am writing a desire that I consider positive, there will not be an evil side to it. When I think about ambition, I believe that it exists for the rest of your life from getting into college to raising your family. I feel confident about my ambition because I know what to do in the future as time flies. Just as I aim to fit my ambition, I know that new situations and conflicts will come to me.
If you really wanted something, and someone predicted that you were going to get it, how would that prediction affect your behavior? As much as possible, support your reflections with examples.
If I really wanted something and someone predicted that I was going to obtain it, that prediction will affect my behavior in numerous ways. Firstly, my behavior will be kept positive in a way. In order to keep it positive, I have to obtain what I want my earning it rather than cheat my way to receive it. By all means, earning the prize is always better than stealing it. For example, if I want a pair of shoes that was worth 60 dollars, I would work for it rather than ask for money to pay for the item. When someone predicts that I will get what I want, I must understand that it sometimes will not happen. That is how a prediction will affect my behavior in relation to how someone predicts that I will get something that I really want.
