3) Malcom test MacDuff by saying things like how if Malcom were to be the king and how corrupt that he would be and that was basically a test to MacDuff to see if he would get mad at Malcom to prove his loyalty and on how MacDuff would run the country the right way.

Macbeth act II quiz

1. Yes I do believe that lady Macbeth is a cold blooded killer because she dosent  care what she does weather it is good or bad as long as she gets the thing that she wants. And if she has to murdee or convince someone to murder a person she would do it with no hesitation.

2. Yes lady Macbeth fainting has a big purpose because it makes it seem as if she had nothing to do with the murder of King Duncan. And it sells it that it was a surprise and it helps her in her case that it takes the attention of the murderer away from lady Macbeth and Macbeth so Macbeth has a better chance at becoming king.

3. Her attitude dosent change because she fainted. But if she were still conscious then she would act as if she was horrified but she would be happy because then Macbeth is closer to becoming the king and taking Duncan's spot at the top.

4. I don't thank that lady Macbeth killed King Duncan her self because she didn't want the blood on her hands just incase anything back fires and she can play and act like she is innocent and had nothing to do with it. And also because she felt like Macbeth could have killed him more efficiently.

5. I think that he would have to take care of the kings family and make sure that the sons don't come back from those countries so that he could be ensured as the king and lead his reign. And ge should make sure that those guards that they framed are executed quickly so no one hears what they have to say about the truth.

Holocaust Chunky Paragraphs

Trouble in Europe. “Many jewish men, women, and children lost their lives and were put into concentration camps to serve the germans for their amusement and labor”(history channel, gravity). Personally I feel that what the germans did to the jewish were unfair and inhumane because the jewish didn’t ask for their homes to be taken their culture and religion to be put at risk. It was someone's opinion that killed many innocent men,women and children. “The holocaust was a mass murdering of 6 million European jews, gypsies, and homosexuals”(History channel,gravity) . All these people dead but for what? Just because someone doesn’t like who someone else is because of their sex orientation or religion you don’t just kill them. Being different is what sets people apart in this world and people who are different are usually the ones who do successful things in this world.
The Holocaust was one of the worst cases of genocide in history. German Nazi’s had rounded up Jews and put them into concentration camps where kill them. “After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler's “Final solution”- now known as the Holocaust- came to fruition under the cover of world war” (History Channel, Gravity) I feel that this is cruel not only because of those who had lost their lives, but it is also because of the fact that they used the excuse of the world war to get away with killing people for pleasure. This has no justice to those innocent lives that were lost to the hands of the Nazis. “Survivors of the camps found it nearly impossible to return home, as in many cases they had lost their families” (History channel, Gravity) The things that the Nazis had done to the jews has scared them for life and is in no way fair to them. I believe that the Holocaust was the worst genocide in history with its level of impact on those people's lives.

Allusion Poem Graphic


Allusion Poem

They think that i'm mean
but i'm not
they think i'm scary
but i'm not
they think i'm a frightening
but i'm not
they think i'm cruel
but i'm not
they think i'm monster
but i'm not

I grew faster than a weed
always bigger than everyone around me
afraid that I would hurt someone
strong enough to hold my ground
being misunderstood because of my size
judged by what's on the outside
scared and teased
my appearance isn't what it seems
Im nice
and not mean

undeterred by what people think
always pleased to help
willing to sacrifice for what's right
believes in good
I have no anger or resentment
been kind to everyone
brave enough to take on new challenges
want to change the outlook of what people see
Big doesn't mean, mean
don't judge a book by its cover

They think i'm brave
I am
they think i’m kind
I am
they think i'm gentle
I am
they think i'm selfless
I am
they think i'm a hero
I am

A Poem with An Allusion

Nature's first green is gold, 
Her hardest hue to hold. 
Her early leaf's a flower; 
But only so an hour. 
Then leaf subsides to leaf. 
So Eden sank to grief, 
So dawn goes down to day. 
Nothing gold can stay.     
What is the allusion why did they use it and what you like about the poem 
The allusion if this poem is the story of Adam and even in edens garden and how they were living great until eve had eaten a fruit from the tree that they weren't supposed to eat from.  They used this allusion because they wanted to get the point across that no matter how good something seems it will always fade and that nothing good last forever.  The things that I like about this poem is the message that it sends.
