My Dagger Scene

In act 2 scene 1 lines 32-65 of the book Macbeth, I would direct that scene in my own way. Just a little different than Shakespeare did. I would have the dagger in the scene but the only person able to see it would be Macbeth. The reason for this is because I would want the audience to know that Macbeth was insane.  I would want the audience to think that the reason for killing Duncan was because of that dagger that he thought was there before him. The people around Macbeth when the dagger scene is filmed, they would think that he was mad because he’s freaking out over this dagger dripping with blood that only he can see. I would want the audience to feel and have the same reaction as I did when I watched the movie. I was confused to as why the dagger was there in the first place but that is what made me more interested in watching more. That scene is a really important part in the play and I think that it should catch people's eye and that the audience would know for a fact that Macbeth was insane. Which is the reason why I would direct the play as only Macbeth being able to see the blood dripping dagger.

Is Macbeth Mad?

 

 

 In act two scene one, Macbeth was having a moment of insanity. He has a soliloquy revealing his intentions to kill King Duncan. "The bell invites me./ Hear it not, Duncan for Icnell/ that summons thee to heaven or to hell." This is the quote that shows that he has intentions to commit the murder of King Duncan. If someone is standing there contemplating murder they are insane. They not always be, but in that moment of time they are insane. Another human being willing to commit the murder of another person is crazy. " Is this a dagger before me./ The handle towards my hand? Come let me clutch thee:/ I have thee not, and yet I still see the." (2.1. 33-35) This quote shows Macbeth's hallucinations. These might be the evidence of his pure insanity. Could his "hard times" have a result such as this? Pressure could have ben what made him temporarily mad. Lady Macbeth told him that he is not a man. That would make any man go insane. Macbeth was insane for only a temporary time, but his insanity went to the point of hallucinations and murder.

Intrests

      One day my sister came over to my house with her daughter, Harmony, (my niece) and we hada grand old time. She is only about a month and a half now so she is still really little. But, my sister and I layed her down on the floor with her pink fluffy blanket underneath her and played with her mouth and made her talk. It was so funny. I couldn't stop laughing for at least 10 minutes.If you do it for too long though she gets fussy and wants to be picked up.
         Harmony is the most cutest little baby that I have ever seen, I'm not just saying that because she's my niece either. She really is the cutest baby I have ever seen. She only has a little bit of hair but it is dark brown on the top and blondish brown on the side. she has also got the most gorgeous blue eyes ever. Everyone says that she looks like I did when I was a baby. Except for the skin, her's is dark and mine is light.
         My whole point on this is that Harmony is my biggest intrest in my life right now. I love her so much and I always will.

Characterization Paragraph

 

 Lily

There once was the beautiful, majestic flower that sat right in the middle of a wonderful, warm, soft, green grassy field. This flower was not any ordinary flower. It was a lily. This lily had 6 bright pink pedals on it and when looking straight at it, anyone can see all the miss shaped dark pink dots all over it. All the pedals have a white rim around them and green leaves poking out of the middle and the sides. The smell of this magestic flower is so sweet that it tingles the inside of the nose of the lucky person who gets to sniff it, it smells that good. This is the most amazing flower the anyone could ever come across in their lives.

Media Analysis Assignment

           The documentary, "Rip a Remix Manifesto," was about this guy who was voicing his opinion on the copyright and the freedom of being able to do what people are inspired to do. The film does show bias because it is his opinion about the copyright laws and how people should be able to write their own music from little bits a piece from other peoples music because it would technically be their own. 

          The film maker uses diction to show his bias by using effective words that the people watching the documentary would be intrigued in watching more and the way he talks about it is really exciting but it is also a very informational thing that a lot of people would be interested in listening to. He really gets his point across with what he has to say and how he says it. The creator of the documentary, Brett Gaylor, talks about how it isn't fair that people, like "Girl Talk," get sued for doing something that their passionate about. Some people might not even know that what they are doing is illegal.

          Brett also uses the mood of the documentary to show his bias. During the whole thing, he talks a lot about how he feels about the copyright laws and maybe without even trying, he can get the people that are watching or just even listening to what he has to say, feel the same way that he does about it. In my opinion, I think that everything that he had to say was spot on and that it really isn't fair that people would have to pay up to $250 000 for one song that they copy wrote.

          His bias is pretty much stating that he does not in no way agree with copy right laws and issues that go in peoples everyday lives. That it's not right that they make people pay that much money for one song that they probably didn't even know that they were doing something illegal. I think that if copy right is so illegal that they make people pay that much for one song, then they should just make it so that copyright isn't even possible to do. That probably isn't even really possible but it should be, just for that fact that, again, most people who do "steal" music, are just downloading it or making a video with the song because they like it, not to do any harm to anyone.

 

          If this keeps happening to people in the future, what do you think that their lives are going to be like? A person wouldn't even be able to listen to a song without being sued for so called copy right. It should be that the copyright laws should be taught in school and that every little detail about them should be explained so everyone would be able to be careful and not copy right at all.

 

If you believe in yourself, then anything is possible :)
