The Crossroads Between Should and Must

      Being stuck in a crossroad requires you to be strong mentally and physically. Should and must are crossroads that will be with you for the rest of your life. I feel that I am stuck at the crossroads because I do both in my life.
      School will continue to be a big part of my life and I see this as a must. this is because I feel that school is important and I should make the time to make sure that I do good. I do not need other people to tell me what I have to do because I know what I must do to be successful in school.
      Everywhere you go people will have there own beliefs and thoughts. They will try and tell you to do something because that is what they want to do. This is qualified as 'should' and I have done things because other people wanted me to.
      Should and Must go hand and hand with each other and I see myself doing both. However I see myself leaning more towards must because it is the better one of the two.

What About My Masterpiece

I have once again changed my masterpiece and am going to be sticking with this one. I have decided to join Whitney and Breanna's group because I also enjoy movies. So from what I have gathered so far we are going to be analyzing the movies and relate them to now. This week we have started out my beginning a movie and we plan to finish it soon as well as get information on what it represents.

Love Is Blind

Macbeth so far seems to be questioning Lady Macbeth. He is scared for what she has to say and is startled from what she tells him when regarding killing Duncan. The audience sees Lady Macbeth as the dominate one of the two. She is enforcing and not afraid to get her hands dirty. Macbeth is not afraid to get his hands dirty but he is not sure of himself when it comes down to it. He must give himself a pep talk and go through all of the outputs before committing his action.

Meet Macbeth

Off of the bat Macbeth is introduced as a character who is a very gory and bloody killer. The three witches do set up some foreshadowing for the reader. They foreshadow that Macbeth is to become of higher power and it startles Macbeth. Macbeth's tone is bloody and glory from what has been read so far and that is all through direct and indirect characterization.
