Classmate I'm Thankful For

There are very many people in my life that I am thankful for.  Whether it is at home, at sports, or at school there are a lot of people that help make me a better person.  This Thanksgiving, I will think of all the people I have to thank, and all of the people who make a difference in my life.

                In my first period English class, I enjoy the people around me and I am thankful for my classmates, but the one classmate I am particularly thankful for is Kay Kay.  She is very helpful during class, and can sometimes help me to better understand a reading.  She also contributes in the group work and creates valuable discussion during group sessions.  Finally, Kay Kay is very kind and we get the chance to talk before class, so I am very thankful for her in my class.

Then he is Dead?

                In the story, Macbeth is a man who is unsatisfied of what he has accomplished and to satisfy his needs, he commits crimes to get to the top.  Since he feels he is disrespected, he has to fight his way to the top, which means killing multiple people along the way.  Near the beginning of the story, it seems that his motives are driven primarily by his wife Lady Macbeth, but as the story progresses Macbeth shows more desire, and he seems to be the one leading the murders.  Although Macbeth deserves more than he received at the beginning, is all of the killing worth it?

                In my opinion, while what Macbeth did was morally wrong, it was logistically the right thing to do.  Macbeth works harder than everyone else in line yet he does not have the opportunity to move up, so in order to do just that, he needs to kill and force his way to the top.  Since Macbeth has the opportunity to be king, it is vital that he pursues it, and so it is worth it to kill to earn his spot.

                The main reason it is worth it to kill for his spot is because of the potential reward he could receive.  If Macbeth kills the king and wipes out all of his heirs, he will be the king and he will be the one in charge.  Once he is the king, people will respect him and listen to what he has to say.  Although there is the risk of being caught, if he succeeds he will have accomplished his goal.  In the long run, Macbeth will be in charge and he will be able to keep his throne for the rest of his life.  If that is the goal, then it is absolutely worth pursuing.
