I think fate is what this book is most about. it is about fate and how we can affect our fate. Macbeth starts to go down hill the moment that the witches tell Macbeth his fate. It sounds good so Macbeth tries to make it come true. In doing so, he kills the king and his best friend. He becomes a tyrant and a murderer. When he consults the witches again, he is told he will not be killed until a forest moves to dunsinane hill. Macbeth gets over confident and makes choices based off the prophesy, which an opposing army causes to come true.
In the play all the bad choices that Macbeth makes are made because of the prophesy which would have come true even without his intervention. It is knowing his future that causes Macbeth to make bad choices. In many stories people learn their fate and go about trying to change them or trying to achieve them. Usually, this causes their fate to come true usually in a bad way. If you must do bad things to achieve your fate, then just let it come in its own time. This usually turns out better, because whatever told you probably did not tell you the whole story.

five seconds of history
Ouch! pain flies through my foot. I curs my luck as I scream of pain. I can feel my self starting to tip towards earth. I can already feel my self hitting the ground. I suddenly become aware of the people calling my name. I see a bug meandering along on the ground. About half a foot to the right, I notice a strange looking flower that looks like it has purple polka dots. I feel like I see everything in little glimpses instead of as one picture.
Why am I still falling, I think to my self. I should have hit the ground after about a second. Instead, it takes forever to reach the ground. When I finally reach the ground, I feel the grass below me and think why it could not soften the landing more. I lay there fore the second longest second of my life. When I look up, I see the finish line ten feet in front of me. I have broken my ankle ten feet from the end of the race.

statments
If something is destined to happen, it will happen without your interference.
If you are in a position of power, you are happy.
I neither agree or disagree with the first statement. If something is destined to happen then it will happen weather you interfere or not. If you interfere to make it happen then you were destined to interfere, and if not then you were destined not to interfere. Destiny is what will happen regardless. What happens next Is determined by weather you interfered or not. In Macbeth, Macbeth interferes and becomes king and is then killed because of it. In almost all stories regarding destiny of a sort, it is the trying to interfere with destiny that makes it come true. I say just ignore it because you cant avoid it.
The second statement I strongly disagree with. Power corrupts. People who have power often want more power and are scared of the power being taken away from them. If you have power you are only happy if every one likes you. Macbeth kills Duncan because he wants to be king instead of him.

It has been far too long
It has been far too long, since I last saw
The glow of your eyes and the color of your hair.
It has been far too long, since I last herd
The sound of your voice or the song on your lips.
I wish to see you just once again
You read this somewhere far away
I hope you miss, and do not forget
Me missing you from far away.
It has been far too long, since I last saw
The glow of your eyes and the color of your hair.
It has been far too long, since I last herd
The sound of your voice or the song on your lips.
If you don’t return
I can only hope
That our paths will meet
Once again, somewhere down the road

poem annalization
I must belong somewhere
by Bright Eyes
In the song I must belong somewhere
the speaker is a man who does not want to leave a place which he believes he
belongs. Someone him his life wants him
to go with them. He tries to tell the
person that he belongs here by giving a lot of examples of things to let
remain.
The poem shows a lot of
anaphora with the word leave at the beginning of nearly every sentence. There is alliteration in the beginning of the
song. The tone is rather sad and lonely,
maybe a little regretfully because the guy wants to stay behind.
