Thankful for...

I'm really thankful for Jennie, the original one who's last name is weng.  I've know you since freshman year when I mistook you for someone else. Truthfully, it was kind of an awkward first meeting but it didn't take long for us to get close. I've grown up with you in the biggest part of my life so far and I'm really grateful to have watched you grow up too. I remember us being wimpy freshman and now we're intimidating juniors (hopefully). Even though this is the first time we've EVER been in a class together ( and chances are it will be the only time e.e) I'm still happy it happened. It makes my day start off well knowing that second period I get to see one of my closest friends. Thinking on it now, we've been through a lot together. We've had some fights, and cried to each other and laughed with each other; I even remember the day Evan was born and how exciting it was (even though we stayed up until 1 am and I was dead tired ). I will treasure all the memories we've made together and despite only being in high school for two more years, I hope that time passes slowly so we can make lots more memories together. I love you Jennie, thanks for being a good friend.

Then he is dead...

Poor Macbeth, died a sad death! But at the very least he had his......kind wife? No, wait she went insane. Well, he had  his country and kinsman? Well, not really, no one liked him. Oh, but there's the money and wealth that came with the kingdom? Although, he did die before he got to experience most of it...Wait...so ...what did Macbeth even get..? He did kill a few people...and then went mentally insane...and did have his wife call him womanly...but at the very least he did become king? With my sarcasm out of the way, from my P.O.V Macbeth came out with a whole bunch of nothing from his entire experience as king. And now that he's dead I have been left with a few pondering questions. Macbeth went crazy AFTER killing Banquo but  I still don't know why.  He already killed Duncan, which was the worst of it, he didn't even personally kill Banquo, and he went crazy from that? He killed an entire army of people and that did nothing on his subconscious as far as i know, but hiring people to kill someone else did so much worse for him than anything. I still don't get why. Even if Banquo was his "friend" , he didn't seem to like him that much. Secondly, throughout the entire play I can't recall one good thing that happened during Macbeth's reign as king. Not a single "win" on his side that made going mentally insane, ending up with a dead wife, and dying himself worth it. He shouldn't have done anything to get to become king in the first place, and what he had to do wasn't much in retrospect, it was only killing 2 people rather than 50 of his best friends, along with blackmailing and then stealing and an infinite amount of more evil deeds. For a warrior, a thane, a lord, that seems like such an easy thing to do right after he murdered 100's of people in a rebellion. And the witches didn't predict much; it was that loony, wacko nut Lady Macbeth that caused most his craziness at the start, then she couldn't even handle the actions he did! It was such a fruitless endeavor that i find myself sighing and rolling my eyes at every action the Macbeth's act out. I don't condone anything the Macbeths did in their attempt to become king and queen, but they at the very least could have carried everything out better to a more favorable ending on their part. Both of them were so weak willed in acting this out, I think if they had been stronger mentally or just stronger emotionally it would've been such a more fruitfull endeavor for them. At least then they could enjoy the titles they worked SO hard to earn (it's all sarcasm, i find their efforts so useless and everything they did with no purpose in the end). All in all, I have nothing really to agree on with this play. I don't enjoy it because of how dumb i find Macbeth and Lady Macbeth and I can't ever agree that the murder of Duncan and Banquo was worth anything.
