MACBETH ESSAY

Josue Lopez
Macbeth says “there would have been a time for such a word”, meaning that death is inevitable. Death is certain, and unavoidable, so whenever a person dies, we shouldn’t really be surprised, because that’s our destiny. Macbeth says this when his wifey died. Then he goes on to say, “tomorrow, and tomorrow,  and tomorrow. Creeps in this petty pace from day to day. To the last syllable of recorded time, and all our yesterdays have lighted fools”To me this means that death is haunting you. We all wake up in the morning, or when we’re about to sleep, some thank their God for another day that they are given. Others like me are just grateful for another day to live. But little do we know, thats its not another day we live, it’s another day closer to our death. We’re basically survivors of this life. We survived many decades, but even more decades are yet to come for us young people, if we stay strong, we will live longer. Being healthy can play a big role for a longer life, but also place and time. Our decisions as well. What we decide will determine our future. Life is made up of choices and the smallest decisions we make. Some can bring us to our own death. Sometimes, death takes us by surprise. People die being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. In this case, the choices that Lady Macbeth decided to make is what got her killed.
“The day to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player”  says Macbeth. I think what Macbeth was trying to say was that death should just show up already. This man feels no more positivity, his heart has been tainted with evil. If he believed in a God, he probably curses it now. I think he just wants to die now, or maybe he doesn’t care if he goes to heaven or hell. He probably wishes that he was never born.
Macbeth keeps on talking to his crazy self and continues his last sentence by saying… “that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing.” I think what Macbeth was trying to say here was that life is meaningless. It’s full of drama and emotions, but there is no meaning to all of this cry. Everything is pointless, and we’re all going to die no matter what. No matter what people say or tell, it’s all just to entertain themselves from the death they wish to ignore.

Josue Lopez 09/28/2018 Just another day in Afghanistan   It was a nice day in Afghanistan, well not really because it was summer, and during the summer the average temperature is 120 degrees fahrenheit.The team of 15 men and 7 female American troops from the Army branch were on there way to the safe zone, they had traveled 7 miles out of the 25 miles they had to walk with 90 pounds of gear and a 25 pound body armor vest. The Belgian Malinois seemed tired, so the troops stopped to rest in a nearby village. There were many Afghans watching the troops that stopped to rest for 5 minutes. The village where the troops stopped was really dry, but at least they were covered in shade. More Afghans gathered, but they kept their distance. Some were on top of buildings. There was women too, they had full black burkas covering their whole body. They were so far that the troops couldn't see their eyes. Old cars started to appear, the troops were now on full alert. A man with a p...

Brave New world Chapter 8 Ideas

Linda does not see it as a sin to be having sex with the men of other women from the village. In Linda's culture, they are thought that everybody belongs to everybody. Therefore, in her mindset,she is okay, it's normal for her to do what she does. This causes outrage from the village's women because they believe in marriage. They are like Christians, believe in different gods. They follow the marriage law of the bible, in which one man and woman belong together, and neither should commit adultery, I believe that's one of the 10 commandments of the Jewish God. John sees this and gets mad, it's like the same with Hamlet, when King Claudius killed his father to be in the throne. But at the same time, Hamlet's mother became Claudius's wifey. I think Juohn realized this by hanging out with the villagers a lot, and becoming a customer to their culture of marriage. He also reads a lot of Shakespeare. Popé brings something that Linda considers soma because of the e...
