Last year I remember always fighting the bad, I would resist against everything I lived by, complaining about what a world we live in. Studying about "futurism" and I wanted this future that I imagined to be true. I wanted everyone to be free. Free of chains of what society has created, and what I could do to save everyone from hunger and violence. Make everyone seem more empathetic and compassionate. I was going into futurism a lot and found myself looking at "The Venus Project" by Jaque Fresco. This man had a full idea on society and how it should be for the future with everything free, food, supplies, programs, carreers. It all seemed so beautiful and blissful. But then I started to look into homicide, and I found a documentary on homicide. It didn't tell me the background of why homicide happens, but it did show me live footage of what it looks like at war and in a corrupted drug endorsed society. It was cruel and anticlimactic. People killing each other mostly for a paycheck and for justice. It was sickening watching similar creatures hurting each other, but their was this one footage that stood out the most, it was a young adult being framed for bombing a car with children in it. They put a blindfold on him and a sign. Layed him on the floor and they shot him a repeated amount of times. But the thing about that is that he wanted to breath he wanted to live, get up and leave, live again. It took him two long minutes for him to stop breathing. After that moment I gave up on humanity, I felt horrible that I just watched him die. Everything around me was a mirage to me..

Meet Macbeth
Macbeth was first introduced in the story by other characters in the story talking about how glorious and what a great warrior he is. They talked about him killing a man (brutally cut him open vertically, decapitated him and put his head on a stake) and saving a the Sargeant. Other characters such as the witches also characterized him and foreshadowed his future of being a king with a kind of riddle/poem that confuses him on what they mean. Throughout the story the audience looks at Macbeth as a godless killing machine but ironically is nothing like that, he is just a soldier following orders. It's the way Shakespeare made him look before we actually got to meet him, it's like what everyone does from his time to our time they judge him without knowing, just hearing all the gossip (talking about the audience). So, Macbeth is a misunderstood character in the beginning in a tragic dramatic story
Macbeath soliloquy ( memorization due april 16 )
Macbeth: To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing
This is also a really cool analyzation of the soliloquy : http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/tomorrow-tomorrow-tomorrow

Lit. Analysis
2. The theme to this story was was to relate the story to our world on how everything was starting to become like The Brave New World. How The Alphas were racist to the Deltas and lower classes, and how brainwashed everyone is to even care about what really is going on outside of there world depending if its outside their country or their neighborhood.
3. The tone of the novel was serious and humorous.
"Oh, my Ford!", and in the beginning of the book there was a professor talking in about how they make artificially made babies in a very slow and boring lecture.

Brave New Essay Topic
The way I would answer this is by honestly making this a little more interesting and make me into a brainwashed beta in the "Brave New World" society and say on how better it is than the one on the other side. How twisted and weird those other "humans" (as they call themselves as) and how great it is to be a Beta in this city with a perfect society and a wonderful leadership, no chaos on who is taking control. Just all betas working together without "questioning" their trust in others.
That is honestly a essay I would be looking forward to.
