Classmate I'm Thankful For


I dunno. This is kind of hard for me to say because I'm thankful for a lot of people. I'm thankful for my friends. I don’t really know how I would pick one person who I am most thankful for in this class.
I told her I wouldn’t write about her but I think I’m going to have to. Claire McGrourty is a pretty cool person I guess. Well she edits papers really well. When I wrote my six-page paper she read it and made good edits on it. Plus she wrote little things that didn’t need to be there but it was nice that they were.
She’s also my boyfriend. So I’m pretty thankful for that.
She also drew me and it was pretty freaking awesome so that was pretty cool. Yeah.
Okay. I don’t really know what else to say.
Like I mean I’m thankful for so many things but when I need to write about them I can’t. Like my brain just shuts off.
I have to write 83 more words.
I am thankful that Claire exists. I am thankful that she is in English with me. I am thankful that she tells me stories almost daily. I am thankful that she can edit papers. I am thankful that we can work in a group together. I am thankful that her blog background is a picture of me. I am thankful that she’s pretty cute. I am thankful that only have 3 words left. I am thankful for Claire.

"Then He Is Dead?"

An overhanging question as we read Macbeth was, 'was everything he did worth it?' 'Did killing all those people really do good for him?'
In my opinion, it didn't. He wasn't king for that long and while he was he was in constant fear of being killed. He had trouble maintaining his mindset of bravery. He lived in fear.
Okay. So for one of our journals, the question was "ARE MACBETHISH ACTS WORTH DOING IF ONE REALIZES THE 'REWARDS' FOR: A MONTH, A YEAR, A SCORE, AND A LIFETIME.'
To start with a month...really? Are you really willing to kill so many people in order to be great and powerful for one month??? Personally, I don't think its worth it. You are doing yourself more bad than good. Do you really expect to live peacefully because you murdered your way to the top? Not a chance.
Now, a year. Same as stated before. Are you expecting to live life in bliss? Do you want that so badly that you are will to kill so many??
A score. Now if you REALLY needed to do something that required you to murder and then have 20 years of perfect living.... how great is that thing really. Twenty years in the long run doesnt seem so long does it? Sure during the moment everything was great and amazing but now? Not so much. YOU WILL LITERALLY KILL YOURSELF MENTALLY.
A lifetime. Same as before. But yes, you may view it to yourself as 'oh its alright I will be amazing and powerful the rest of my life.' And it would be awesome if it were to be like that but its really not.
