Im thankful for...

I am thankful for Natalie Zajak because she is awesome.  Everyday she sits in front of me in class and is so funny.  She balances out our group of four (I have no idea what I would do if I was only with John Brown and Nathan.)  That's a joke... When we were writing our first narrative in the tech labs, Natalie started writing her paper about a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks.  That is pretty wacky.  Natalie brings a breath of fresh air to our class and I can always look foward to seeing her in her too cool girl's lacrosse jacket.  I didn't know Natalie before this class, but I am thankful for having had the opportunity to meet her.  I am thankful that she is typically on the same page with me when it comes to reading British Literature (scared and confused.)  She is a great peer editor and gives good advice, while not insulting my poor writing skills.  I just found out today that Natalie and her parents have duck for Thanksgiving dinner.  I am therefore thankful for her originality.  I also am thankful for John Brown and Nathan Ng because they are goofy, yet intellectual.  They liven up the class for me.  I hope everyone has a really good Thanksgiving and 5 day weekend!

Then he is dead?

Macbeth did some pretty unspeakable things in order to gain power.  The question at hand is: were the crimes/acts he committed worth it?  In the end Macbeth is killed and towards the end of his life, he was consumed with paranoia and anxiety about the killings.  His wife, who was the main supporter of his climb to the throne, died in a probable suicide act.  Honestly, what more did Macbeth have to live for?  Were the benefits of Macbeth's actions worth the rewards?  Seeing how his life ended, I'd say no, but what if it had turned out differently?  What if Macbeth didn't let panic dominate his life?  What if Lady Macbeth hadn't killed herself?  I then think it would have been worth it, well also if he wasn't murdered in the end.  If Macbeth could've lived with himself and accepted his actions after performing them, then I think he would have done a really good thing for his future.  He would have pleased his wife and also would become a very very powerful man.  The problem is you cannot predict the future.  If Macbeth could have known he would be killed in the near future, I don't think he would have made the same decisions he did.  I wonder if the characters of Macbeth and LM think it was worth it.
