EasyMoza

Ever find yourself in a bind for a creative presentation? Well why not try making a mosaic.
 "But Mary Beth, I don't know how to do that?"
That's what I'm here for.  First pick out the big picture you want. Then pick between 250-500 small pictures. They will be used to fill in your big picture. Once you pick them out, log on to www.easymoza.com  From there on the website has step-by-step instructions on how to make your motif. The best part: Once you finish editing and messing around, the website gives you a free download of your masterpiece. I highly recommend trying this out if the next time you need to make a visual presentation for your English class. It is much more personalized than a powerpoint or poster. Plus it's a well kept secret, so nobody else will have it.

"Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair"

    One of the big ideas we talked about was if Macbeth hadn't married Lady Macbeth would he have gone on a killing spree in order to secure his throne? I think he wouldn't have done so many killings. People's true character is bound to come out sooner or later, and in Macbeth's case it happens sooner. With Lady Macbeth in place, she was such a powerful force that it kinda happened against his will.
    I think this is part of theme, in that there is no normal. We see it taken to the extreme here but when the characters try to cover up their mistakes or try to make everyone else seem more out of place.

Double, Double, Troil and Trouble

The first Quote I chose to analyze is, "If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me, without my stir." This quote directly means if the sisters are telling the truth then I will become king without me having to interfere. This is an important quote because throughout the first two acts Macbeth has an internal battle over whether or not he should kill King Duncan, and this is a hint of whats to come.
The second quote I chose to analyze is, "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well. It were done quickly: if the assassination Could trammel up the consequence and catch with his surcease success; that but this blow Might be the be-all and the end-all here." The meaning of this sentence is if the murder were done when The sword killed him, then it would best be done quickly but that isn't the end. The end would be if the murder was done without consequence, and only bringing success, then the killing would be the be-all and the end-all. This is important to Macbeth's internal struggle because after he has killed King Duncan, he thought the end of their troubles would be over as soon as his heart stopped beating, but it didn't.
