Evil is as evil does assignment 2

I would make a movie of Macbeth staged as a drug dealer. He was first the chofer of the current drug lord. It would be on the city of New York. One day three persons of the mafia convince him to kill the drug lord because the current one is a bad one. So one day he plans to kill the drug lord with his wife. He gets his ak-47 and first drugs the guards. Then enters the room of the drug lord and kills him. After that the ones who were his friends betrays him and tries to kill him because they were loyal to the previos drug lord. They make an entire army with modern wepons and kill each other in the streets of New York. At the end Macduff kills Macbeth.

Evil is as evil does

Good                           Evil

Macduff                      Macbeth

Malcolm                     The Witches

Ross                           The murderers

 

Macduff: Macduff is good in the story because he is the one who is risking his own life and his family’s life in order to destroy Macbeth. He has made an army in order to take him out of the power and restoring the peace.

Macbeth: Macbeth is evil because he has killed many people, including one of his best friends, in order to obtain power. He is now just thinking in power and he does not care killing everybody.

Malcolm: He is supporting Macduff and both wants to defeat Macbeth.

The witches: They are evil because they are making conjures and dark things. Also they are helping Macbeth and they were the ones who tempted Macbeth to kill the king.

Ross: He is good because he is loyal to his country and he was the one who went to Lady Macduff’s house to tell her some assassins were coming.

The murderers: They are evil because their job is to kill people.

At first Macbeth was in allegiance with all of the good persons, like Macduff, Ross, and Duncan, Malcolm’s father. After some time he only wishes power and he becomes in allegiance with all the evil people like the witches and the murderers.

I am totally sure that he can’t win his former supporters back because he has done terrible things. For example, he killed Macduff’s wife and children and he killed Malcolm’s father, King Duncan. Ross is a patriotic person and will surely hate Macbeth. I really do not think they will support him again after all the bad things he has done. They are only thinking in the way to defeat Macbeth.

 A great example is Tony Montana form the movie The Godfather. He is a drugdealer. He is risking his own life in order to have money, women, and power. Everything he does is to have power. He do not care kill other people or risk his own life in order to have power and money. Both Tony Montana and Macbeth has lost their normal minds because of power. They just forget of everything else and just focuse on the thing they desire the most.

 

 

Values Activity

1. Hi there son. Now you have finally 18 years old! You are now a man and I am so proud of you. You have no reached an age in which friends are really important in your life. But you have to always know how live your life. First of all never let other bother you. You will see that when a male friend likes to bother you at the first time you confrontate him he will stop. If the problem continues I advice you to warn him that if he keeps doing it you will punch him. If he continues then  you have my permission to kick his butt. I think this is the only problem solving between boys. You only have to do this when you see that someone is constantly bothering you and that you are bored of it, but remember only with boys never with a girl. Always treat other how you would like others to treat you. Never treat bad your classmates because yo will see that eventually one day they will do the same to you. Always treat everyone in the right way.

2. In the television show Two and a Half Men respect is a main theme. The oldest brother, Charlie, is always disrespecting his younger brother, Alan. Charlie feels he is superior to Alan and is always saying mean things and doing bad things to him. Eventhough all of this they still care about each other. Since Alan separated from his wife he had no home so Charlie said to him to live in his house. So they live together with Alan’s son. There are sometimes in which they show they care each other but most of the time Alan i treated bad. I think brothers should treat each other in the best way.

3. I have a friend in school that is constantly ridiculated. This is because he has a big nose. His name is David so we call him Nari because of his big nose. We have bothered him since the beginning of the year and have gaines a lot more of names. For example we call him narinala, mpa(maldito pegue arrazador), nari baba y los 40 ladrones, and many more. I think he do not like to be treated like that but by the other hand he do not care very much. We have bothered him so much that he do not care any more, just a little bit. There is another classmate named Campo that we bother a lot. We bother him because he is like too insecure and shy. So when something happens we always blame him.

In the hands of fate

Describe the fear, the events, and the banquet scene.
Macbeth is hallucinating of him seeing Banquo, he has become a ghost for him and he has the fear that Banquo might be alive and tell the truth.

Explain how knowledge of the future has once again driven Macbeth to extreme action.
He is trying to change what the witched had told him, and because of that he has decided to kill everyone who might know or suspect about him killing the king in order to became King. He is trying to change his fate as well as the fate of everyone else, everything is getting out of his hands, he has definitely become a murder.

Do you think Macbeth is foolish to attempt to control what is fated? Or do you think he is acting wisely? Why?
I think Macbeth is foolish, he is trying to control his fate by killing everyone who might suspect about what he has done. But instead, he is killing more and more and what he believe he had under control now is getting out of his hands and neither him nor Lady Macbeth has control now over what is happening.

In the hands of fate assignment 2

I think that if i knew what would happen in the future to me everything would change. For example if i knew that something bad would happen in the future I would do anything to try to fix it. If something good would happen to me I would make everything in a good way in order that what I saw in the future happens. It would depend in what I see in the future how much I would be affected. Surely every action that I made would be affected for what I saw in the future.

It depends if what is fated is a bad thing or a good thing. For example if I see that my father is going to die in a car accident I would try to never let him drive or do something in order that he do not use his car. In the other hand, if I saw that in the future I would be rich by doing something, I would surely do anything that leads me through that path in order to make it come true. It all depends in what I see for my future.

I think it is wise but it is not a good thing to do. I think this because it would be perfect to know your future and try to change it or make it even better but the thing is that by knowing your future you are just ruining your life. It would take out the flavor of not knowing what life has for your in the future. That is one of the wonders of life that I would not change. Also if you knew your future ou would always try to change it to a better way and by that you would never commit mistakes, which are important in life to learn things about life. For me its better to live and have all the experiences in life, the good ones and the bad ones. In the other hand there are some times in which I would love to know the future. For example wich will be the lottery number, or what would be my future wife, or what would be my job. Of course all these things would be great to know but as I said it takes the flavor out of your life.

It would be great to know the future in things like what would be the lottery number or what you should do to helpt others, but I think that for becoming rich or anything else in the world you do not need to know the future. I think is way much more exciting to see how things happen during your life. It is very exciting to never know what the future has prepared for you. This is what life is about, just living it to the fullest because you never know what will happen or when you will die. You can do anything you want by just concentrating in what you want and making your best effort in order to accomplish it. I can think in only one good thing that knowing the future would have on a person. If you knew when you are going to die you will surely live life to its fullest, what most of the people do not do. You would do all the things you never had the guts to do. I think that is the only good thing knowing the future has. I think that for a reason God created us without knowing the future so for me it is better just living with the rules.

No Regrets?

Macbeth’s character is not purely evil, but in Act II he overcomes his reservations long enough to kill King Duncan and two of the king’s grooms. Afterward, Macbeth reveals his inner state. Search Act II for quotations that disclose Macbeth’s feelings about the murders. Write the quotations and explain each quote’s meaning in your own words.Is the dagger which i see before me, the handle toward my hand?

This means he cannot believe what he had just made, to kill the kings. He is just in shock and totally amazed.

My hands are of your color, but i shame to wear a heart so white.

He is feeling very regretful and thinks

Describe the fear, the events, and the banquet scene.

In the banquet he is being told by the assassins that Banquo was killed. Now he becomes crazier because he starts to see Banquo’s ghost and starts to speak to him in fron of all the guests. He really fears the predictions of the witches that said that Banquo himself will not be king but his sons would be kings. Macbeth also fears Banquo because he suspects he killed King Duncan.

Explain how knowledge of the future has once again driven Macbeth to extreme action.

Macbeth knows that Banquo’s sons could take his throne as the predicitions said so in order to stop that he hires three assassins to kill Banquo and Fleeance. He is just trying to maitain power and his own life but he is doing it in an extreme way.

Do you think Macbeth is foolish to attempt to control what is fated? Or do you think he is acting wisely? Why?

I think Macbeth is being not wise but persistant. He is trying with everything to maitain power. He is risking his own life and killing others in order to do what he wants to do.

The Criminal Mind

Write events, dialogue and thoughts that reflect the changes in Macbeth in Act I.

He starts to change from the time the witches tell him that he will be thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glamis, and King. He starts to think if that is a good thing why is he so nervous and feels bad, but if it is bad then why he had been given a good position. He also says that it feels good to be in that position but can just imagine how he got does positions, by murderer or if the thane dies, but at the same time says that even if it was by that means he feels good having that position.

“Glamis, and Thane of Cawdor: The greates is behind.”

“My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, shakes so my single state of man that function Is smothered in surmise, and nothing is but what is not”

Write attributes of his good side (The Good Macbeth) and attributes of his evil side (The Evil Macbeth).

The good attributes he has are that he is very brave. He never fears anythig. He is very sure of himself.

His evil attributes are that he wants power no matter by what means. He is way to much ambitious.

Write events, thoughts, or dialogue that are neutral or ambiguous.

Macbeth and LadyMacbeth: “The rest is labort , which is not used for you ill be myself the harbinger and make joyful the hearing of my wife with your aproach so humbly take my leave.” 

Do you think Macbeth would have changed if the witches had not appeared? Explain.

He would have surely changes because if the withces would not have appeared he would not have been informed that in the future he would become king. If he would not have heard this he would not have been controlled by ambition. He would surely only have stayed with his positions as Thane of Glamis and Thane of Cawdor and never try to be king.

Do you think most people are as susceptible to temptation as Macbeth? Explain why or why not.

It think most of people are as susceptible as Macbeth to temptations because that is human nature. When they see something they can use in their benefit they try to take it by whatever means. There are a few exceptions. There are certain people who have their moral bases realy strong and live their lifes in base to it. They would never become kings by killing other people. Maybe Macbeth had a little more temptations because the first thing he heard from the witches became true so then to become king would have also to be true but still I think most of the people are susceptible to temptations.

 

 

Fears

I have really very few fears in my life. Most of the fears I have are because of bad experiences I had. For example one day two cops almost punched me in a bathroom and told me to take off my pants. That time I was extremely scared of cops in the malls. I just panicked so much. Another fear I have is that when I am swimming in the ocean because my boat was destroyed a shark could appear and eat me or that something from the interior of the sea will eat me. Another fear is that the world would soon disappear. This are strange theoreis I have formulated based on the mayan calendar which says taht in 2012 the world would disappear or a rod discovered in Egypt which was tested and said that it was created in 2016. So I mixed this two things and thought that around this ages the world is going to end. It is just like an imaginary fear but hopefuly stays that way. I have always fear of having some type of injury again in my legs. This is because I have injured myself so many times and this keeps me of playing soccer. This is something I really hate. I think my last fear is to be kidnapped by a serial killer and that he tortures me just for pleasure. I think this is my most terrible fear. I think this fear developed from the movie I watched named Saw. This is a great fear for me but I think it is not so bad because I know it will never happen.

Passion

In my life I have so many passions. I think this is because I enjoy almost every part of my life. One of my favorite passions is soccer. This is my most earliest passion. I have loved soccer since I had like 7 years. I remember that in the world cup Italy lost a match and I started to cry because I was so angry. I have always played soccer and forever love it.

Another of my passions is to play guitar. I started to play it some months ago and since I started I have not stopped. I just love to sing while I drum the strings. It is just as if something in the inside of me is smiling.

Another passion is to play videgames. This was a passion like when I was 8 years old. Since then I have spent a lot of money in them. I have bought like 3 consoles and about 40 games. It is my vice. I love just to play and control someone elses life. For me this is just so fun.

My final passion is to live. This is the most important of all the other passions because is the one who lets me feel everything. Just to see the stars one night or go to a party or just relax in the beach and watch the sun go away. It is just wonderful to live because every single day is different from the past one. Life, for me is my most preferred passion and the one I would like to practice many years more
