1) The decision to murder MacDuffs family shows that MacBeth is a very cruel man and that he has no sympathy for anyone and that the greed at being at the top has taken over him.

2) The purpose of the scene with lady MacDuff and her son is to show the personality and the values that they have and also the hidden feelings that they had about MacDuff and it really came out in those parts.

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.

ACT 5

1) no to me this dosent come to me as a surprise because she seemed very crazy from the beginning. And I had the feeling that something was going to happen to her.

2) I think that the thing responsible for MacBeths death is his greed because he had let his greed and need for power take over him and has caused him to make some bad decisions which needed up angering many people and it ended up killing him.

4) he recorded it from the doctor telling him that she had just passed.

5) by finding him and then saying his last thing before he kills him.

6) that he was the best fit to go and become the king.

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.

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.

College Application Essay (Draft)

1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.     
     
               Dribbling the ball up and down the court is almost a daily activity.  Sweaty foreheads and sweaty shirts fill the air with the aroma of the basketball court.  Feet stampeding across the court and squeaking from baseline to baseline.  All of this,  just to put the ball in the basket.  This is what I've done for as long as I can remember.  I started playing with a ball in my hands before I could even walk.  Ive been on a team since the age of 5.  Although I have started playing at a young age,  my love for the game has never faded.  This game has been a part of me for my whole life.
               Just like anybody playing basketball it has been a journey for me and it has not been easy.  During my Freshmen year I had suffered from a season ending injury.  The day before tryouts I had gone to the doctors to get my ankle checked out.  They made me take a series of X-rays and MRI's until the doctor had finally told me I had Osteochondral lesions of the talus.  He said that there was a part of my bone that died and that I couldn't play basketball this year.  I couldn't even touch the ball for a total of 8 months.  Once I was able to play again I had to re-learn everything I forgot how to do so many things that I could do easily before.  And it was very frustrating,  I was always mad about how I wasn't getting the results that I would be getting before.  But I had learned how to deal with it, I just had to practice playing a different style.  I had to play slower and smarter instead of more athletic and aggressive.  And it worked I just kept working at playing smarter and smarter and it definitely gave me results that I was happy with.
               Ever since I was born my mom and dad have been my biggest supporters.  When I was a baby they would play bouncy ball with me or they would even play with me on my little tites hoop.  And as I grew older and started becoming more serious about basketball my mom  became more of my number 1 fan, and my dad became like my personal coach.  My mom was usually one of the team moms on what ever team I was on at the time.  And my dad would try to be one of the assistant coaches on the team.  But if he couldn't that meant that just me and him would be going to the park more by ourself's to work on my game and do drills.  Me and my dad were always like best friends we like most of the same things and act exactly the same so it was no wonder that after all these years that it was so easy for him to coach me.
               Basketball is one of the biggest parts of my life.  It really helped me find out who I really am.  And it has a lot to do with the person that I am today.  But it also comes at its own price because there will always be obstacles for me bigger than the ones that I have faced so far.  And I have to remember to always remain calm and take it easily one step at a time and to not let it consume me.  I also have to thank my parents for always being by my side and kept pushing me to pursue basketball and be the best that I can be.

Paragraph Thingy

               The big game was on.  Me and my friends had been anxiously waiting the whole week for this game.  We gathered in the local Irish pub to watch it.  It was a great game so far,  the score was tied at 21-21 at the end of the half.  I had placed a bet on this game with my good friend Billy.  I don't usually place bets with Billy because he is a sore loser and always is a pain in my behind to pay up.  But this time he seemed different he seemed as if he was confident instead of his usually salty self.  So when I talked to him he said that he had done his homework and that here is a 75% chance of his team winning.  Of corse that had me nervous but I still had my faith once the game started.  And I had no reason to be nervous once the second half started.  The score went from being 21-21 to 42-28 going into the fourth quarter.  Everyone in the pub had also been going for the team that I had bet on. So when they had scored yet another touchdown in the fourth quarter everyone was going nuts.  Well everyone except for billy who sat cross armed by the bar table next to the bud light sign.

                I had never seen something like this before.  There was a man that was about to attempt to walk across two sky scrapers on nothing but a thin piece of string.  And may I mind you that the man had nothing below to catch him so if he fell he would die.  Everyone had their phones out ready to record this man doing this insane stunt.  As the man took his first step on the line you could feel the nervousness from everyone.  While the man was going across the line I was probably more nervous than the man was,  my hands were shaking like it was on vibrate.  The man seemed to be doing great until he just got a little past the middle,  he almost tripped.  He was struggling to find his balance his body was swaying with the line to get his balance back.  But he eventually found it and once he did you could smell everyones breaths as we all sighed in relief.  When the man reached the end everybody went crazy we all screamed and cheered for that man.

College Questions

Saint Mary's:
               I would like to go to this school because I really like how it is on the west coast and is not too far from home but far enough to be away and to experience new things.  And I especially like how it is in a good driving distance from San Francisco because I've always liked the thought about living next too or in a big city so it already seems like a reasonable choice for me.  But the location of saint Mary's isn't the only thing that interest me, what also interest me is that the student body isn't big its enrollment count is only like 4,000 something so I can interact with new people more on a personal level and also not get lost in the drift.  And another big benefactor that interest me a lot is that its athletics are D1 which is a big plus because I would hopefully like to play basketball for them and to be able to root for the other games at the other games also.

UC Davis:
               I like this college because I like the fact that they have a lot of programs and facilities that you as a student are able to go to at your disposal and make the most of.  I also like how it too is in California on the west coast.  Another thing that I really like is that Their athletics are D1.

Portland State University:
               I like this school because of this location on the west coast.  I also like that they are sponsored by Nike so they get nicer facilities and a lot of nice gear too. And I also like that their athletics are D1. And I like how it is a good mid major school too.

Seattle Pacific University:
               I would like to go to this school because its on the west coast. Also that their enrollment count isn't the high either so I won't get lost as much. Another reason is that Their athletics are D1. And their classes are a lot smaller.

Pacific University:
               I would enjoy going to this school because it is in the pac 12. I also like that it is near portland oregon. Another reason why I like this college is because they have a high acceptance rate and has a low enrollment of only like 3,000-4,000.

Coming Of Age Poster (Draft)

Coming Of Age Essay (Final)

Fearing the thoughts of other people is experienced in every teenager. Before and in the beginning freshman year I would always care too much about what other people thought of me. With over thinking about my effect on people made me more scared of doing many things. And to this day I regret it, I was too shy and I have  missed out on a lot of things because of that. Then came along the extra baggage I had to lug around that’s called “The Boot”.
It was called Osteochondral lesions of the talus. It is basically a part of my ankle bone had died because there was not enough blood flowing to that part of it. When the doctor came in the room and gave me the news that I couldn't play any sports this year my heart dropped. I felt like shit, I had to remain crippled for most of the year. I remember sitting in the doctor's office with tears coming down my face, while my mom was talking to my doctor in shock. Saying “ No doctor that can’t be true, the test results must be wrong.” Having the boot was a big learning curve for me. I remember the first week after I had received the news that I was still in shock like “I cannot believe this is happening to me”, “what am I gonna do?”, “What are people gonna think of me?” then, In the second week that I was more mad, like I would say things like “Why does it have to be me?”, “ Why couldn’t we deal with this earlier or faster?”. And by the third week I was just tired of complaining already, I realized that my foots not gonna heal faster if I continue to feel bad for myself and complain.And that I can’t feel bad for myself the whole time. Before I had the boot I couldn’t wait for anything I had no patience at all. I always wanted things done then and there I hated waiting. And things have changed by now. I would also always consciously worry about what people thought of me, It was always something that I would worry about before and I would over think about it too much. But from being in the boot people look at you and treat you differently, a lot of people treat you as if you can't do anything, or they feel really bad for you. And for me that was one of the worst parts about being in the boot. I never really liked how everyone felt bad for me because I just always kept the thought in my mind that someone out there had it worse than me and couldn't come back from it at all so they should feel bad for them instead of me. But eventually I had gotten used to how people looked at me and just didn't care anymore. And that translated to how I am without the boot, now that I am out of the boot I don't care about how I look anymore and I have more self love about myself, knowing that I am who I am and I can't change that and I shouldn't for anyone, so I should just embrace myself more now and not care about what other people think of me.

Being in the boot has taught me so much. And it has had to do a lot with who I am today. I don't care anymore about my fear about what people think of me, I can understand waiting longer and I am actually ok with waiting longer now too. But I feel like being in the boot has also brought me closer with my self and to start understanding myself better now. And I am willing to do more things and try new things now.

Abstract & Concrete Paragraphs

               What was hoping to be a great day turned into a horrible one. It was the third a final day of bid sales for winter fan. I had been too late the first two days to even get a ticket, Because I am so small that while I raced to get in line I got thrown around and pushed to the side by everyone. But this time I was determined to get a ticket, all of my other friends had already gotten theirs so i wasn't going to be the only one not going. 5 Min before the class bell rang I tightened my shoes and waited anxiously by the door. I had a good feeling about it this time. I sprinted like I never had before to get into line. I was the 10th one in line. I kept moving closer and closer. Then it finally became my turn. But thats when the disaster struck. I went to grab my form and check. But it wasn't there! I was the only one that didn't go to winter fan,

 

                             
               I was fed up! It was my granddaughters 7th birthday party. The party was full of fun and joy there were multiple bounce houses with many games to play for the kids too. And I made cookies for everyone. But it seemed as if no one liked it. At first they kept their mouths shut and didn't say anything at all about it. But then came the first person to tell me that they didnt' like my cookies at all. Naturally it hurt my felling but I brushed it all fairly easily. And then came the second person to tell me that they didn't like my cookies, Then one after another one after another, everyone started to tell me that they didn't like my cookies. Even my niece that I made the cookies for told me straight in the face that she doesn't Like my cookies. So I became so aggravated that I grabbed my block and shot a couple in the air.

               I had received some of the worst news that a child should ever have to hear. My dad was gonna be deployed. I had loved my dad. He was my best friend, we did everything together. But when I found out that he was going to be deployed I couldn't help but to break down and start crying. I was so worried that something was gonna happen to him as he served our great country. I didn't want to know that my dad had a high chance of dying or getting severely injured. One of the things that we would always do together was play tea party with my dolls. So that he could remember that well I  made sure that he drank a nice cup of hot tea and gave him one of my dolls to take with him, Then i leaped into his arms and had him carry me to the car. I was crying as I waved by to him. It was the saddest day of my life.

Dear Netflix Administration,

I have thoroughly enjoyed your program and service for many years. I love your wide selections of TV shows and movies, the different categories that you have for different age groups, and your reasonable prices.

Although, I have been having some problems with your updates. I feel like you guys could do a better job with updating your system with newer movies. some big box office movies come on DVD and I believe that if those movies come out on DVD that they should also be there on netflix. Netflix is my go to and only system to stream movies and if I can't find a movie On there I don't really have much more options to see that movie and it makes me feel less or trust Netflix less. And I am Informing you about this because I feel like it is a big flaw within Netflix and that many people have this problem, and I would really benefit you with better customer satisfaction and maybe even more people registering for Netflix.

                                                                                                                                          Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                    Duncan Clark

Digital Life (Final)

               Social media is great! Social media can help us connect better with friends and family, it can allow us to see what kind of things people around the world are doing, it can even give us warnings a head of time of upcoming events. But social media can also be a very dark and scary place even I don't want to get on it sometimes. Social media makes teens insecure about themselves about things like wanting to fit in, their looks/body, and in some cases it makes them feel unwanted. And this happens to everyone today in some type of way.

               Social media may stir up a lot of insecurities but it can also be good for facing them. If you are insecure about something and you post something online facing that insecurity depending on your followers they can help you get through that insecurity. Another reason why it is good is because it can make you feel better about yourself if you post something say a selfie and you get these comments like " wow you look amazing ", or if they comment a heart eyes it can actually make you feel better about your self and boost your self confidence. So although many people may perceive social media as something to just make you more insecure it can actually have some perks to make your feel better about yourself and feel better and boost your self esteem.

               Imagine your sitting at home all of the time and you never go out but you always see the people you know your friends going out 24/7 and always posting about it on social media sites like Instagram, and you are never invited, how would you feel about that? That is exactly what a lot of teenagers feel today. "High school students who feel they do not fit in are less likely to attend college" phys.org. This is an example of how social media can effect you in the future and how if you let it consume you it can take away your hopes and dreams. "Particularly at risk were girls who are obese, who are 78 percent less likely to attend college than non-obese girls, and those who are gay, who are 50 percent less likely to attend." News.utexas.edu.com. And this also shows the type of people that it primarily effects and and the percentages of those people. So having the feeling of not fitting in is one of the main insecurities with in social media because you are seeing people post of going out all the time and you not being invited can make you and the people around you very insecure.

              Another big thing that teens get insecure about is their looks and body image on social media. But it's not just seeing other peoples nice body that makes teens insecure but it can also be the stages of puberty that we are going in. "The changes of puberty and resulting sexual maturation often make adolescents feel self-conscious and awkward about their bodies." Education.com. This gives us a insight of another thing that majorly influences teens feelings of insecurities of their body, and how it's not by seeing other people making us feel insecure but it's from with in ourselves and how this contributes to also seeing people's nice body's and then looking at yours and feeling ashamed. "A study found that adolescent girls were more fearful of gaining weight than getting cancer, nuclear war or losing their parents" justsayyes.org. This shows how bad teens worry about their size or how big they are because socia media has brought upon this almost rules on how you should look and how skinny or muscular you must be and it is sad to see that this frightens teens this much and that they have to even worry about it. 

               Although social media can be a good thing for us by making us feel better about our selfs but it has mostly a negative effect on teens for insecurities. It shows proof that it makes teens insecure about their body's it also shows proof that it makes teens feel like they don't fit in. Insecurities has become a bigger issue with in the last few years and it's been growing at increasingly fast rate and has shown no sign of slowing down. And the only possible ways to stop this now is for parents to instill a sense of self worth in their children from a young age. And hopefully if everyone does that the percentage of insecurities with in teens about social media may go down.

Digital Life (rough draft)

               Social media is great! Social media can help us connect better with friends and family, it
can allow us to see what kind of things people around the world are doing, it can even give us
warnings a head of time of upcoming events. But social media can also be a very dark and scary
place even I don't want to get on it sometimes. Social media makes teens insecure about themselves
about things like wanting to fit in, their looks/body, and in some cases it makes them feel unwanted.
And this happens to everyone today in some type of way.
               Although social media can make teens insecure it can also help teens face those insecurities. "When a person is insecure in their relationship and feeling down about their partner, they take to
Facebook for some kind of validation." This is how some people use social media to make them feel better about themselves they use it as a outlet to let people know whats going on in their lives at that moment. But this can also be a bad thing for those people that do it too much "We all know at least one person who turns to social media to constantly do one thing: complain about EVERYTHING imaginable. Whether it’s about an ex or school or just life in general, these people don’t hesitate to make a Facebook status or tweet about it… like maybe five times a day." This is a bad thing because they feel more comfortable writing about their feelings in the public rather tan face to a real person where if its in the public there is more of  a chance that they will get judged and feel even more about themselves after seeing those comments.
               A lot of teenagers love clothes and love to get new ones, it makes them feel better about themselves, it makes them feel more wanted it, makes them feel special and pretty. That's the reason behind why girls wear make up. "Girls use clothes, accessories, and fashion to define themselves, make statements about their choice of peer group, and to establish their psychological identities." this shows one way that teens feel better about themselves or make them feel better about themselves. its also one of the things that teens are the most insecure about.  "Fifty-six percent of women revealed that they were dissatisfied with their overall appearance, and an astounding 89% of women wanted to lose weight." This goes to show that a large chunk of out teenage population is insecure about their body.
               In some cases teenagers feel as if they are unwanted, and feel like they are invisible to everyone else. This is probably the worst that it can get. "i am at the point that i hate myself and anybody else and I feel like theres no hope and i thought that you might be able to give me some advise since you are good at stuff like that.  my mom is always screeming at me and her and my dad don’t love me and i don’t know why cause i try to do everything i can and i’m not a bad kid but they always tell me i am in fact my mom today sayd that i am one of gods biggest mistakes cause i slept threw my alarm and missed my bus. my dad doesnt ever hit me but he is always calling me an idiot or a retard or stuff like that. anyway at school i don’t really have very many friends cause i’m to shy i guess. i don’t know what to do cause i am just wanting to give up even trying anymore cause why should i? have you ever felt like nobody cares if you just disappear cause i really feel that way even with my parents.” this is what happened to one of the teenagers that feels unwanted and as you can see it is a very dark and scary state to be in and this is why I also think that this is the worse case of insecurities because no one especially teens should feel this way about themselves. They should not hate themselves.
              So as you can see social media can make teens very insecure, and these are just some of the things that they get insecure about (Looks/body, feeling unwanted, wanting to fit in) So with social media being a big part of todays society it has increased the amount of insecurities and if it continues to grow at this rate it will get out of hand and it will maybe to late to stop. And a way that we can stop it is by simply giving support at and encouragement at a young age.
