    Such foul a fair a day I have not seen. Macbeth says this in the very beginning of the book. It becomes ironic to think about as we get further into the book. He is talking about how he is finally out of war then later in the play he starts murdering people.
    Macbeth becomes a terrible person. He starts to act different when he is faced with true power in the book. He is told by the witches that he will be king so he starts to want to do anything to get there. He even murders someone who he was always loyal too. Which is a different person than we saw with the line"Such foul a fair a day I have not seen."

    I am ready for summer. It seems way longer than it really is. It's three weeks away and I am so ready. I have been so anxious to get out of school. No offense to any of my teachers but it has been very stressful this year.
    I feel like this year went by way faster than past years have gone even with all the stress I have been dealing with. My mom always told me that would happen, saying that as you get older your years get shorter. But i am so ready to be done.

#5 women are more compassionate and less violent than men

  I think that statement is partially true. Women as a whole are more compassionate than men but there are women that are more aggressive than some men. Men are just I guess naturally aggressive. They want to fight and brake things most of the time. Women in stereotypical situations are calmer and more "lady like".

#7 Some things are destined or fated to happen

   I agree with that statement one hundred percent. I am a huge believer in fate and what is destined to happen. If something is going to happen, it's going to happen. It's just how that works. You can't stop destiny or really affect it's path. You can do small things that may alter or change destiny than just a little bit but mostly, it's just DESTINY.

The Deep Blue Struggle

Splash! The coolness of

the water hits me and runs up my spine.

I wait for others so I can go down.

It's time

I'm sinking.

The peaceful water rushes over my head as I go down

I feel cooled and relaxed, I'm weightless down here 

I'm carefree

I start the long leg strokes that propel me forward each time

each time becoming harder than the last

over time my breathing becomes faster 

I struggle to keep my legs moving and start to feel heavy

we are getting close to the boat

I start to slow, I can't keep swimming with the same speed as everyone else

They are all so much bigger and more experienced, they have been in this situation so many times 

I just can't keep up.

We're there

we start our way back up

we're up. Finally

I inflate the vest and let the current bring me into the boat, the instructor helps me into the boat, I drop the gear onto the seat

first dive down 

only one left

    In this song there are a few pieces of figurative language. There is assonance in the song.
The assonance is the repetition of the long O sound from a lot of the words. One paragraph in particular has it multiple times.He says, “Why am I soft in the middle now?

Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don’t want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard”
Bonedigger, bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don’t find this stuff
Amusing anymore.
