fate. Macbeth expresses fate throughout the whole play. In this play, Macbeth is comes off as a nice, trustable guy. He seems like the leader of the crew, or the person everyone looks up to. As we read or watch, we start to notice a change in Macbeth's attitude toward King Duncan and the choices that he makes. Little do we know that Macbeth is about to go on a killing streak.
We notice that throughout the play, Macbeth's fate was not as he intended. He wanted to be "honored, loved, and have friends" but his fate did not allow him to do so. His fate made him become who he "really is" (which is a murderer) and showed us the real side of him.

Quote
"Banquo, thy souls flight, if it find heaven, must find it out tonight." In this quote, Macbeth is saying how Baquo will die that night. This quote is important because it gives us that first amazement that Macbeth wants Banquo gone. After reading this quote, you realize that Macbeth is not a good person, and you cannot argue with it at all.
Macbeth wants Banquo gone because he is afraid Banquo has a chance to take the King position instead of Macbeth himself. Macbeth hires three murderers to kill Banquo and his son while they take a walk one night together. The Murderers kill Banquo, but his son gets away and runs off.

two statements and assessment
3 hours - Nervous Conditions Project
1. "If you are a position of power, you are happy."
A- I strongly agree with this because everyone likes being the king or the one on top. But when you aren't the one on top, you start to complain. King Duncan is an example of this.
2. "Women are more passionate and less violent than men."
A- I disagree and agree at the same time. Women can be more passionate but they can be also more violent than some men. Both of these are true.

Poem
Lights all around me, telling me where to go
I feel like I'm going to heaven.
Even though they have a dim glow,
they are almost as bright as a Kevin.
Lights everywhere, lights nowhere,
they help me feel comfortable when I lie here.
I feel like I'm going to heaven.
Even though they have a dim glow,
they are almost as bright as a Kevin.
Lights everywhere, lights nowhere,
they help me feel comfortable when I lie here.
Rihanna and Jay Z- Umbrella
In this song, I notice many techniques that we use in class. After reading the lyrics to this song, I noticed one technique right off the back. The caesura technique is used throughout this whole song. I have spotted many commas throughout the middle of the lines in this song. Although the lyrics are meant to be sung, they would make a great poetry entry.
Also, I see a phrase that is in the chorus that is very hard to say over and over again. In another words, its a tongue twister. "Under my Umbrella ella ella" is very hard to say over and over again. This song is a very good poem and I don't think it was even meant to be one! If read right, this song can display many of the techniques we have learned in class.
