D Cameron’s Online Journal

when he was going to kill Duncan he was saying how good he was and how he shouldn’t be killing him in his own house, he should be the one protecting him. “This even-handed justice commends th’ingredience of our ponion’d chalice to our own lips” in this metaphorical quote he says that it’s a bad deed and he shouldn’t be killing Duncan, he’s feeling remorse already before killing him.

or why Upon this blasted heath you stop our way With such prophetic greeting? Speak, I charge you.’  – Shows he is strong in mind and not scared by the unknown.

‘Come what come may Time and the hour runs through the roughest day.’  – Shows he is not bothered wether he becomes king or not and is leaving it in fates hands.
‘The Prince of Cumberland! that is a step On which I must fall down.’  – Shows he is ambitious about becoming king and really wants it.
‘Who should against his murderer shut the door, not bear the knife myself.’  – He is ambiguous and does not really know if he should kill the king who he believes is a good man.
‘No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas in incarnadine, making the green one red.’   – He is feeling so guilty that he thinks even if he washed his hands in the ocean then the ocean will turn red from blood.

A Paradox is when a statement or proposition is very unreasonable but when investigated it may prove to be true.

“Fair is foul, foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air.” This is a paradox because fair can’t be foul and foul can’t be fair as they are two completely different things.

Metaphysics is when you act like something or someone is real. It may or may not be real but normally is not.

A example is when the three witches are introduced in the beginning of the play telling Macbeth three prophesies. “He will be thane of Cawdor, thane of glams and king.” These prophesies introduce Macbeth into the ideas of greatness, he will eventually follow through killing king Duncan, this brings the idea of fate.

Pathetic fallacy is when the mood in a peice of the play is interpreted by the weather and natural environment.

An example is in Act 1 Scene 1, “Fair is foul, foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air.”

This is an example of pathetic fallacy as this quote has shown how the mood of the play being “foul” interpreted by the weather being ” foggy and filthy”.

– A dramatic device allows the audience to be aware of things that some (or all) of the characters in a text do not know. For example, in Act 1 Scene 4 of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Macbeth speaks in aside (to the audience) telling us that he is going to have to dispense with the Kings son Malcolm in order to become king himself.

The prince of Cumberland, this is a step I must over come because it is in my way. I don’t want any light or anyone to see my black and deep desires, the King fears what the eye can not see.

Sergeant
There is doubt in who is going to win the battle
Like two exhausted people who cling together and can’t go on . He has no mercy and is more than Worthy to be a rebel, for to that the enemies are multiplying ; swarming him –from the western isles they are getting their supply’s from.
Good luck is on his side and she revealed herself without shame: but McDonald is too week and he is using a paid army.
Brave Macbeth, he does deserve that name, is ignoring luck and he doesn’t care what people say is gonna happen; showing off his sword, That has blood all over it. He cut his way through the army, killing people as he treads through, until he is facing the slave ‘McDonald’ Macbeth did not say anything to him, didn’t say goodbye just split him open from his stomach to his mouth and placed McDonalds head on the battlements.

  This is my chat with Gentrit showing my idiolect and my emoticons that I use when I text. I am 14 years of age and so is Gentrit, we are both white and are in year 9. We both message like this using slang and emoticons with shortened words. when Gentrit types “NM” it means “not much” but we use the shortened version “NM” which is much quicker to write and give a response to whoever you are talking to.

we show a good example of adjacency pairs with request\grant and question\answer. Adjacency pairs are where you have two turns produced by two speakers and the utterance is related to the first question or request or e.t.c.

We have a repetition of emoticons where we might be making a facial expression but cant express it in any other way as we are in different places. For example, “do u wanna go out after school?” when i ask this question he will first be thinking about it and because i cant see this he decided to send the emoji where it expresses that he is thinking about it. another example will be at the end of the conversation when Gentrit replies with “yeah sure” with the 100 emoji sign, this emoji is to show that u are certain about something and are 100% sure that you can do it or come along e.t.c. I then end the conversation with “coolio” and the thumbs up emoji to insure him that its all good.

What is David Crystals argument ?

David Crystal is arguing that texting is a way of improving children’s writing and spelling. Against John Humphrys argument “They are destroying it: pillaging out puntuation ; savaging our sentences ; raping our vocabulary.”

People believe that the shortening of words is wrong and needs to stop. However, David Crystal thinks otherwise. David believes that “texting has added a new dimension to language use, but it’s long-term impact is negligible. It’s not a disaster.”
