5/5
I think and important quote for acts I-III is "My hands are of your color but I shame to wear a heart so white" basically summing up the acts I-III because it is Lady Macbeth is talking about how killing Duncan is so bad that she feels bad that Macbeth had to do it and his heart is black. She wishes he didn't have to deal with that morally is so bad.
The quote literally is talking about how Macbeth has a black heart for doing such a terrible deed. Though she didn't kill him she still has blood on her hands for getting blood on the guards items. When they kill him everything goes backwards and that is just showing how bad what they're doing is

In the beginning of the book you said there would be a big idea of the story is fair is foul and foul is fair. This is said by the witches at the beginning of the play and this saying is a theme of the whole play. The witches say this mostly when they are doing chants and making spells so the meaning is obviously very involved with the witches and they are aware of meaning.
I believe this is the biggest idea surrounding the book because though the witches are not in every scene the witches are the whole reason the story is happening. What they said "Fair is foul and foul is fair" is basically showing what a normal man would think is foul is what the witches think and vice versa. Most people thought the killing he was soing is foul but not to the witches who told him to do it.

My break was a real bummer. My fiend Garrett and I had planned ongoing to the beach in Destin, FL for spring break. We planned on bringing two more people that go by the names of William White and David Tatman. We were going to stay in a condo that Garrett's parents got for free from their work. We were quite excited to go, but the only problem was that we would only be able to go for 3 days. Right before the break they decided that it would just be better not to go.
There is a good side to this story as a matter of fact. Even though his parents said we could not go after the break they said we could go after school ends. This will be better because there was a slight chance that our friends couldn't come due to their baseball practices interfering with the dates. Now it will all work out for everyone to go.

"If you are in a position of power, you are happy" I disagree with this because most of the time people with power aren't very happy. Sure having power over certain people can make you happy and make you feel respected. The problem is that when you have power it comes with a lot of responsibility. This becomes a problem because when the people you have power over aren't good it becomes your fault.This is what generally happens to a lot of people
"Everyone is capable of lying, betrayal, and violence, which are basic parts of human nature." I completely agree with this statement because this is a statement that goes to what humans are. At their core all humans want to do is survive. When we were neanderthals they did almost anything to get what they wanted. Whether this was stealing from another, betraying another for his life. Violence is different because violence is life. Violence is blood and gore what you could view as our lifeline. Its strange that the fact that violence is censored because it's life in a sense.

Explaining my topic to a friend
My mom already knew much about the topic because she remembers hearing about it on TV when she was younger. I think the topic was very interesting when I first heard about it. It seemed interesting learning about it from what I had heard such as the explosions and such. I didn't know much about it in the first place but the more I learn the better it seems.
My topic was fairly interesting when I first heard about it. At first I didn't know how to appropriately use it accordingly with my guidlines. The areas in which I explored were very interesting. I didn't have much experience on the topic at first but the more I researched the better I was able to connect it to my thesis and find my topic more interesting

Your research paper draft
I feel like my paper is all in all a fairly good paper. Its full of information and the topic is well explained and my thesis works well with my sources. I think it was hard to use my notecards to put in information with my paper while I was writing it. I had to switch back and forth between the internet and the paper.
I found it hard to put the information in well enough where I'm relating it to the author of a site.Once I found the information I could successfully put it in the correct places and lengthen the paper out. I want to use my sources equally and lengthen the information out.

Sneaux Week Free post
I'm getting ready to start track season which is really exciting for me. I've always been really devoted to track because I do a thing that not a lot of other people do, I pole vault! It's always been something I've been attracted to because my brother did it. That and coach Dupe is practically making me do it because he did. Not only that I'm pretty good t it for my age right now.
Because my brother did it I've been practicing with the high school since 7th grade. That is because middle school doesn't offer Pole vault because it is to "dangerous." I've only seen 2 injuries the whole time I've been doing it. The first time the guys face went down on the bar he was trying to get over and he cracked his tooth. The second time the guy wasn't running fast enough when he planted the pole in the box and it rejected him and threw him back. Though it's dangerous I still love to do it!

NHD Project
My National History Day Project is on the nuclear meltdown in Chernobyl. The nuclear meltdown occured in 1986 in a medium-populated area. After this meltdown it released radiation into the surrounding areas. It affected the animals and humans for miles and miles. This can cause complications in the animal or human that has been under the affects of the radiation.
Unfortunately people under the affects can cause cancer. The radiation can also be passed on through child birth which is why this is important toady. People are still getting affected 25 years after the event. My todo list is to make a few more bibliographies to improve my research.

Chanler's Generated Prompt
Chanler - What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school?
In a world where is was a child's choice to go to school it would be chaos. I would say a majority of the kids would refuse to go to school simply for the fact that they "Didn't like it" Then not many children would excel in life and receive Jobs once they reach adulthood. You could see this on the day of optional school where only half of the kids showed up on time. The only kids that showed up on time were the ones that parents made them.
If I had the choice to not go to school I think I would still go. If you don't go to school you can't follow your career path of your choosing. You might just end up in a job with low pay and you won't have any fun what so ever. Instead you could follow your interests and end up making money doing things you enjoy. I don't want to get stuck earning minimum wage for the rest of my life.

Blog Prompt
What are the most important literary elements in a story to you?
I believe the most important element is Character in my opinion. Without character there is no story. If the character is not there there is no story, mood, personality. The story without the character is just the setting. There is no one to progress the story it is just an empty plain.
I believe the second most important element is the Setting. If there is no setting the character has no where to go in the story. There is also no mood or atmosphere. The character can't have feelings because the is what the setting is. All the character is without the setting is his appearence.

I'm very excited for soccer season this year. It is by far my favorite sport. I'm not the best but I believe I am better than most people. That will probably get me some playing time this year. I just home that freshman get to play this year. We are ranked #1 in the state so I hope we live up to that rank.
The only thing that's bad is I have two injuries to worry about. I have an inflamed growth plate in my right ankle that pinches a nerve which causes pain. My other injury is every year I pull my hamstring one way or another from kicking the ball and not stretching. Recently I got a swollen Lymph Node on my right hip preventing me from starting soccer but it will be gone by tomorrow thanks to antibiotics.

Class Island Discussion
When we were figuring out our survival plan it became apparent that we needed a leader. We nominated Jacob as the leader. We decided that you could only talk if you had the "stick" to avoid interruptions. We decided each person would receive one of the first graders to take care of them. We had fairly stable Government.
We decided to break people up into about 8 different jobs. I was nominated the hunting leader and I taught everyone how to. We figured out that we needed more people at certain jobs to live. I figure we would prosper for the first couple weeks until something bad happened or a kid went crazy or got hurt. I believe people would run away.

Harrison Bergeron
Harrison Bergeron is by far one of the weirdest stories I've read. It is set in an alternate reality which I still have hard time understanding. It is sad and at the same time hilarious. I really have no idea how I feel about it. I still am having trouble with the"everyone is equal" part. I don't understand how everyone can talk perfectly fine and the announcers have impediments. That's not equal.
The character of Harrison Bergeron really interests me too. He's a rebel to a terrible society. He was basically freeing everyone from what they were forced to be to what they are. He was doing anything wrong he was actually doing good. The government did not like that and he ended up dying. That's what I call dedication.
