Be a Man Mcbeth

1.
Lady Macbeth
Act 1 scene 5 line 47
Quote:"come, you spirits that that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from crown to the toe top-full of direst druelty." In this quote lady Macbeth is talking about how she wants to be a man not like Macbeth in this situation. Macbeth is being a coward and not doing what he needs to do so she wishes she could. She is hoping to be a man so she could have the courage and cruelty to do what he could not.



2. 
Malcolm
Act 4 scene 3 line 252-254
Quote:"Let’s make us medicines of our great revenge to cure this deadly grief". In this quote Ross is telling Macduff that his family has been killed and Malcolm tells Macduff to take it like a man and turn the sorrow into rage and anger towards Macbeth so that he will fight back and make him pay.


3.
Macbeth
Act 5 scene 8 lines 1-5
Quote:"Why should I play the Roman fool and die On mine own sword? Whiles I see lives, the gashes Do better upon them"Macbeth is trying to say that he would rather stay alive and fend off his enemies instead of taking the stupid roman way of killing himself with his own sword and that if his enemies are still alive he would like to remain alive and fight. This quote shows his manliness with the fact that Macbeth would rather fight like a man against his enemy instead of taking the cowards way out by taking his own life away by committing suicide.

4.
Macbeth sayton
Act 5 scene 3 line 38
Quote:"I will fight from my bones my flesh be hacked. Give me my armor"-Macbeth
"Tis not needed sir"-Sayton. In This quote Macbeth knows that to serve his kingdom right he has to be a man and fight. Sayton tells him not to but he ignores him and goes and fights anyway. He does this because he know that it is cowardly to run away from a fight.

5
Act 4 scene 3 lines 67-69
Malcolm and macduff
Quote:"Not in the legions of horrid hell can come a devil more damned in evils to top macbeth"
When malcolm and macduff are talking about how bad of a person that macbeth can be, macduff says the he is even more worse than the devil. This quote shows alot of manliness because men are supposed to be fearless and merceless and that is what macbeth is showing in this quote.

Odysees theme

The theme that occurs most often in the books is value what you have, stay loyal, and trust other people. This occurs many times throught the book for example in book 11 when Achilles travels to the land of the dead and draws the spirits using blood. In that book odyeseus realizes that being on earth is much  better tha in the land of the dead. In lines 556-558 Achilles says I'd rather slave on earth for another man some dirt poor tenant farmer who scrapes to keep alive than rule down here over all the breathless dead. That quote illustrates how odyeseeus values his life on earth. He said that he would rather be a slave to a nobody than live down here. So he values his life that he has right now and what he had before was better than anything down their. So he values what he has.
In book 16 their is also a part in which my theme is in action. As telemachus goes to fumeaus barn and sees a stranger he does not realize that that is his father odyseeus. And the he soon discovers that it is his father he quickly begins to create a plan to kill the suitors. Odyeseeus then tells telemachus that that is not the plan. Telemachus does not trust odyseeus new plan. As in lines 270-300on page 346-347 telemachus first doughts his plan and says "but what you have just said dumbfounds me". So as you can see he does not trust his plan. On line 298 Odyseeus says "trust me" the narrator then says "his seasoned father reassured him". So telemachus then shows trust in other people. Even though you may not think they are right still trust them.

In book 21 a theme is also put to use. As odyeseeus comes back to ithaca to reclaim his reign as king the suitors are they and they have betrayed him. They are their trying to string the bow and then odyessues comes out and strings the bow and shoots it thru all the little holes and kills all the suitros.In line 475-480 on page 438 odyeseeus says "my strenghts not broken yet not quite as frail as the mocking suitors thought. So as you can see odyeseeus killied those men because they doubted hime and did not stay loyal to him as king.

Analyticalparagraph 3

This blog isabout the journey and the heros events from book 1 and 2 from the odyssey. Telemachus is a hero and is a determined one at that. His father left and many think that he is dead but he is determined to find out. His mom is unfortunate in that suitors are determined to make them their wife. They stay their until telamachus gets back and they make a mess of peneolpes house and she will weave a ship and once it is done she will choose someone as a husband. If Odysseius comes back though in time it will not happen. So teleamchus has to fit out a ship and get as many mkembers to come with him on his journey to find his dad. Teleamchus is a hero because he is called to an adventure.Teleamchus"Fit out a ship with twenty oars, the best in sight, sail in a quest of news of his long lost father. He is called to adventure to find his father and bring him back to Ithaca  and declare himself king again. Also,based on the elements of the heroes journey and events of books 1 and 2, teleamchus is a hero because he has a supernatural guide in Athena. She is first seen by telamachus is lines 132-133, First by far to see her was prince telamachus,sitting among the suitors,heart obsessed with grief. Telemachus was very upset that the suitors were fighting over peneolpe.

Joe mauer

Joe Mauer has been the superstar of minnesota babseball since his rookie year in 2004. He showed the twins what he was made of in his breakout year in 2006. He was the first major league catcher to lead the league in batting average. In his years going on he showed the twins and minnesota how much of an asset he was to the team. He now in 2010 is the highest paid catcher ever in MLB history. He is worth more than singles and doubles. How about $184 million dollars. Now going in to the postseason for a second time in a row they face the same team they did last year. The ever so great New York Yankees. The biggest and baddest team in the majors. The Twins have been red hot with every twin contributing. The Twins have been known as a great regular season team but fall under the pressure in the postseason. Joe Mauer has to take the reigns of this team and run with it. He has to shine more than the sun if we have a chance to beat the run enduced yankees. Joe Mauer has proven his in the playoffs but with a rod and jeter which are know how it feels to be in the post season. Joe mauer is a big part of the twins and has to show it. He will either upift this team to a world series or another 4 game massacre. Joe Mauer is the man with a plan. He knows what he is facing this year. Go Twins!

Opinion

There are many different things in this world that I have opinions about, but my strongest one would be gay marriage. I feel people should be able to love whoever they want to love. And if that person is the same sex so be it. That person is still the same as you in this world why do they get the shaft because you feel as if they should love an opposite sex. They have the same insides as you the same brain give them a chance to do what they feel is right for them.
Gay marriage is now only legal in 5 of the 50 states in the united states. Now how do you think they feel if they only feel as if their welcomed in 5 of the 50 states in the U.S. Gay marriages should be allowed in all of the states I feel, because everyone is treated equal right? That is in our constitution. Then let people marry whoever they want to marry.
Let gay people and gay marriages be the same on this world as you are. They should stop protest againts gays because they have been taking a beating for this for a while so just leave them alone. They are no different then you just they have different lovers. So stop the protests and let them live their lives in peace on this world.

Barefoot Bandit

Birth
 He grew up without a father and his mom was an alcholic. This caused colton to live through a troubled childhood. He had examples of hero partners which were his fans also he had a specific friend who helped him along his way. He had tests and ordeals which he had to overcome. Like he had to stealthly steal a plane and get away with it. An ultimate boon that Colton had was his brilliance. He was smart enough to steal a plane at age 17. Also he was smart enough to do online classes under fake names to know how to fly a plane. A belly of the whale Colton had was when he was in the cockpit about to steal the plane. He knew once he stole that plane he couldnt go back and change anything that occured. When Colton crashes the plane that is like a journey to the underworld becuase his mission had failed. After his first plane crash landed Colton needed an aptheosis/defication which he decided would be to steal more planes. Colton ended up stealing two planes after that. When Colton was caught in the Bahamas his final battle was his boat chase with the police. Then an elixir served as his jail time. Colton became a master of two worlds by learning how to get by in the real world with nobody helping him and then learning how to survive in jail. And that is the heros quest of Colton the barefoot bandit.

Bob Marley



Bob Marley
(6 Febuary 1945-11 May 1981)
Bob Marley was more than a musician in his time. He was an uplifter of the jamiacan community. In most of his songs however he spokes maily about the repatriation of black people to Zion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_marley#Early_life_and_career. Which is a call to adventure because he felt as if he had to lift africans up from slavery and he thought he would do that through music. He later then started to produce songs. He recorded his first two singles with Leslie Kong a producer known locally around town. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_marley#Early_life_and_career. That is a supernatural guide because he was the first person to really guide Marleys music because he was the first one to really hear his music and critic it. Jobs were scarce in jamaica so bob left and followed his mother into the city to seek employment. That is a test/ ordeals or a challenge that the hero goes through. He had to leave his home land and set out for the big city where he knew noone and had no job.http://www.thirdfield.com/new/biography.html. In 1975 Bob marley and the wailers went out on their first tour around the world. This is like a journey to the underworld because this is something that is new to them and they go from just being able to do what they want to have to play shows.http://www.thirdfield.com/new/biography.html. A month before Marley died he recieved the jamiacas award for merit. That is like an elixir for marley after all his musical success he recieved the award before he died and that was kind of like a life award for what you did. http://www.popstarsplus.com/music_bobmarley.htm. Rita marley (bobs wife) later then in 2005 wanted to move his remainings to shashamine ethiopia. Which is like a sacrifice/betrayal someone close to bob had to make a decision that would impact him but he was already dead so i dont know if it really matters.http://www.popstarsplus.com/music_bobmarley.htm. In 1994 Bob marley was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame which serves as freedom to live because without him being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame its like all his work was for nothing. So that would give him peace of mind.http://rockhall.com/inductees/bob-marley/. Bob marleys last words to his son ziggy marley was money cant buy life and i think that serves as master of two worlds because marley knew what life entitles for him and his son.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Marley#Illness. Months before marley died he was trying to stop the spread of melanoma thru his body. That was like a final battle because that was his last deed he had to do.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Marley#Illness.The goverment was like a man as temptation because bob marley was becoming more powerful than the goverment so they had to do something to stop him.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Marley#Illness. Thats how bob marley was my hero because he revolutionized the world as we live in today not just the musical world but he changed the way people think.

Weston Romens Luke vs Doug

Luke Skywalker and Doug are similar and different in their own ways. In this paper you will see how they compare and contrast to each other. In each one of the stories they both go through challenges. In both stories they overcome the challenges that they face. One challenge in Star Wars for luke is he has to go on a mission or a quest. With the refusal to the call Luke does not want to go on the mission. He says that he has to stay with his father and work for him. It is a challenge for Luke to go on the mission because he first does not want to go and he also says he needs to work for his dad. Doug also has a challenge he goes through when Quinn comes to his house and wants Doug to go on the road with him. Doug says that he needs to study. That is a refusal to the call similar to Star Wars. Doug and Luke both end up going on their so called missions or their quest. Another challenge that Luke goes through is when he has to blow up the Death Star. Luke has to blow up the Death Star to complete his quest. He completes this mission by shooting into the only place that can blow up the death star. He does it and then he is able to go home. He does the only thing that he has to do to get back home. Similar to Luke is what Doug has to do in convincing Quinn not to kill himself. Doug has to overcome a difficult situation similar to Luke. Doug has to convince his friend to not kill himself. In the story Doug explains to Quinn why he should not kill himself and gives him reasons not to. He says its about all of the little reasons in life to stay alive. This is similar to Luke because after they both have done what they had to in their mission in the end of all of it they get to go home. A difference about these two stories is what their fighting for or why they are going out on their missions. Luke embarked on his mission in his intent to become a jedi and follow in his fathers steps. Obi one convinces him to go on his mission because his father was a jedi and he wants to follow in his fathers steps. He became a jedi to complete his mission save princess leya and blow up the death star. Doug stays in vegas because he realizes that his friend is going to kill himself and he is the only one that can save him. He knows that once he sticks with his friend he almost has to help him. When Doug goes in the bathroom to check on Quinn to make sure he is not killing himself. This shows that he helps him during his mission. Luke and Doug's stories are similar and different in many different ways. They both have stages to make a story a hero story.
