In the story of Macbeth it talk about how Macbeth's wife calling him out about killing the king, but he doesn't want to kill the king. His wife starts saying stuff like you have to kill the king and she is basically making him kill the king when Macbeth doesn't want to because he likes the king, he thinks the king is a good guy.
I had the same kind of problem as Macbeth a while ago, but it didn't involve killing someone, it involved ditching school for the first time in my life. So a while back I went to golden high school and my brother, Justin, ask me if I wanted to go get something to eat. The thing was that I had class when he wanted to go eat, so I told him I don't know about ditching and he said that I should stop being a little b****, and so then I went with him because he made me feel stupid not wanting to ditch. I felt pretty bad the whole time I ditched, but as I ditched more and more I didn't feel as bad, so I just kept on ditching. Now I have learned that ditching is wrong but I probably will do it again but not as much I hope.

Macbeth
In the play of Macbeth there is a battle going on and the king Duncan's solders are not doing too well. The captain comes telling the king that a great man named Macbeth has saved his life as well as many others. Macbeth jumped into battle like he had all the power in the world and he lead the kings solders to a victory. King Duncan is very glad to hear this but then Ross comes and tells the king of a traitor, the Tane of Cowdor. The king is very angry and decided to kill the Thane of Cowdor and make Macbeth the new Thane of Cowdor. After the harsh battle Macbeth returns to his home where his wife is waiting for him. When he gets home his wife tells him that he has to kill the king because she wants to be the queen so bad. Macbeth doesn't feel right about killing the king because he thinks the king is a honorable man.

Scurples Macbeth
1. Your car will soon need a new transmission. Do you sell it without informing the buyer?
Yes, of course I would tell the buyer that the car is going to need a new transmission soon because it wouldn't be nice to not let the buyer know that he or she is going to have to buy a new transmission for the car.
2. Your are drafted to fight in a war you consider unjust. Do you refuse and risk prison?
Well there is a war that I consider unjust then I would probably go because I really would not want to go to jail, ya know?
3. A friend wants to copy and swap some expensive computer software with you. You know it's illegal. Do you swap?
Sure, why not if that friend was a really good friend and doesn't tell on me then I would swap.
4. You dislike all the political parties. Do you vote?
Yes, I would vote because one side has to be better than the other so I could choose the better one.
5. A vagrant asks you for $1. You suspect he/she will spend it on alcohol. Do you give it anyway?
If I had a dollar to give then ya I would because it's only one dollar.
6. You are shaken up on an auto accident. A lawyer could get you a large settlement if you exaggerate the extent of your injuries. Do you do so?
Yeah, I think I would, but I still would feel really bad about taking the other person's money.
7. You have been attending classes all year. An acquaintance, who rarely shows up, asks you to photocopy your notes, do you consent?
No, because I would hardly know the guy and I don't want him copying my work.
8. Your significant other has had an affair. You have no idea how long it's been going on. Do you leave him/her?
Yes, because I can't be with a cheater
9. You and a friend have liked the same guy/girl forever. Your friend confides in you that she/he has finally gotten up the nerve to ask this person out. Two days later that person asks you out on a date. Do you say yes or no? Do you tell your friend?
Well first I wouldn't give the person an answer until I talked to my friend first then I would give that person an answer.
10. It's your first chance to vote in a presidential election, and it is a very close contest. When checking that you are registered to vote, you realize that you are registered twice. Do you vote more than once?
No, because the extra vote probably wouldn't help anyways.

Introduction
I expect to learn a lot of things from this class. I expect to learn how to make my writing better and so more people would like to read what I write. Skills I want to learn are stuff like how to make my writing fun and interesting to read. Some other skills I want to learn are how to do better in overall English.
I don't really have any strengths in English but I'm sure I'll find out what they are. For right now, pretty much everything in English is my weakness. I think English is my worst subject because I never really try hard enough to accomplish anything in English.
