Wat is Macbeth abOUt?

 Macbeth is organized into 5 acts.  Each act contains several scenes.  The play starts with a prologue scene given by the three witches who occasionally appear between major scenes to foreshadow or comment on events.  Shakespeare has some offstage action in several points in the story.  He uses offstage action for Duncan’s murder and Lady Macbeth’s death.  The single plot is chronological and easy to follow.  There are no flashbacks but there are some dream scenes, for example Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking.  The attention is generally paid to Macbeth as the focus follows him through the play.
Exposition - The exposition is very vague since the characters are introduced throughout the first part of the play.  It can be considered that the entire first act is the exposition.
Initial incident - The three witches start the play off with a prophecy that Macbeth will become king and that Banquo’s children will become kings after Macbeth.
Rising action - The rising action is when some of the prophecies are coming true and Lady Macbeth is trying to convince Macbeth to kill Duncan.
Crisis / Climax - The climax is the actual murder of Duncan.
Falling action - The falling action is all the events occurring after the murder where Macbeth tries to hide his crime and cement his position as king by killing other would-be kings.  Lady Macbeth goes insane.
Denouement - Lady Macbeth dies and Macbeth is executed.  Malcolm becomes the King.
 Now to my Favorite character which is Macbeth which i think a lot of people will chose as he is the main character but i like macbeth is because  Macbeth shows us that cheating will not get you were you want to go. And he is brave-well he deserve that name- with his brandish steel and steel plate he chopped his way through his enemy like squishing an ant as the two spent swimmers choke their art thou didst leave it.
  Lastly, i can learnt that greed is something that cannot be avoided when power comes. when greed crawls over your body choking you, you will fall into the dark trap and do any thing it want as thou it control you like a puppet.
WELL TILL NEXT TIME...

This week's lesson - Macbeth

  In this week's lesson, we learnt about Macbeth act 1 scene 1 & 2( last week's) written by the famous William Shakespeare. In Macbeth act 1 scene, we learnt about the three witches and how William wrote, what format. We also drew a picture of the three and i drew a picture of anime from Naruto but i though maybe witches needs disguise in the normal life, i know it was LOL yet interesting!
  In Macbeth act 1 scene 2, i learnt the Macbeth story when they started talking about a bloody man and named him Captain.They also praised the merciless Macdonwald as a brave hardy man with brandishing steel plate.I also learnt about the different characters in the story. Then there goes the homework to draw an interesting comic strip i believe every body will try their best! I am looking forward to the beautiful drawings of everybody especially horny caveman Kamarul's drawing Thank you!

Miracles does happen!!!

Today question is: Has there ever been a time in your life when someone told you that something improbable would happen and it did? Did the fact that the even was "predicted" cause you to behave differently that you wouldKl have otherwise and make it more likely for the event to occur? Or did the event simply seem to occur without any assistance from you?
Recall what had happened and include your feelings when you heard the event predicted and when it occurred. ? Yes of course, something really happened as someone had said it. This is my story : one day when I was taking public transport to my organ lesson at sembawang station a complete stranger was on an mrt station waiting for the same train as me at marsiling mrt station wearing a white t-shirt I was also waiting for the train and so I stood beside him, this is when I realized that he was quite bulid up, tall and look angelic. As I was bored I took out my phone to check for messages this is the errie part the built up man suddenly talked and said,"Sigh, see what god has created mankind now these phone are part of teenagers and pollute in them. Hey young man, you wat is your favorite number tell me 3
Digit." "Emmm.. 229? Why?" i was confused why is someone asking me for 3 digit buy 3d maybe? I was wrong very wrong! "nice number eh. Better don't be late for your organ lesson! " just as his sentence ended the train arrived. As what everboby will do queue up at the train door side as we entered I witness the man stood near the door looking. I as usual went to find a seat when I found one and settled down I looked for the tall man but he was...was.. O where to be seen so out of curiosity I gave up my seat and went to search for that man but I gave up whenit reached the next mrt station, woodlands. I think he sort of look like an angel. Sorry for those who dislike or
do not believe in angel. The next next thing is really going to scare you. I in fact 229 for my psle
that year! I knewhe was an Angel in fact my angel, cool right . This really you can ask my mother about it I told her about it. Believe it or not is your own choice. It really happened! Seriously, I should have asked for higher marks like 295 nice but too late sad. But no
Matter what if we want to sorce well me must work hard and not always relie on such thing hope someone has the same experience as me hahas^.^ thank you!

This and example of a Cinquain. If u want to write like that you will have to learn the format which is like this, 1st line: Noun/topic, 2nd line: 2 Adjective, 3rd line: 3 gerunds, 4th line: 1 short complete sentence, 5th line: 1 synonym.
Now you know the format, there is more formats at (http://hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/davidc/6c_files/Poem%20pics/cinquaindescrip.htm)
Cinquain is a quite interesting form of poems. I also think the Cinquain willam snakespeare wrote is indeed interesting!
