Macbeth Scene summary 1-6 Homework

Scene 1: In scene 1 all three witches meet up in a desert place. They asked ” Where should we three meet again In thunder, lighting or in rain?” Which means they plan to meet again upon the heath, after the battle, to confront Macbeth.

Scene 2: At a military camp near King Duncan’s castle, he asks a wounded captain for news about the battle with the Irish invaders, who are led by the rebel Macdonwald. “The merciless Macdonwald-Worthy to be a rebel, for to that The multiplying villanies of nature”.

Scene 3 : On a heath near the battlefield, the three witches appear. One says that they have finished killing swine, the other describes that she is going to get revenge upon a sailor whose wife refused to share her chestnuts with. ” A sailors wife had chestnuts in her lap, and munch’d and munch’d- Give me quoth I: Aroint thee, witch! the rump-fed ronyon cries. Her husband’s to Aleppo gone master o’ the Tiger: But in a seive I’ll thither sail And, like a rat without a tail, I’ll do, I’ll do, I’ll do.”

Scene 4 : At the king’s palace, Duncan hears reports of Cawdor’s execution from Malcolm, who said that he died nobly, confessing of his crimes.” They are not yet come back. But I have spoke With one that saw him die: who did that report That very frankly he confess’d his treason’s, Implored your highness’ pardon and set forth A deep repentance: nothing in his life Became him like the leaving it; he died.” Macbeth and Banquo enter showing there gratitude to Duncan. Then Duncan said that Malcolm is heir to the throne.

Scene 5 :In act 1 scene 5 Lady Macbeth receives a message from Macbeth saying that he will have a great future because he will become king. Lady Macbeth wants the power to become queen, because she said “unsex me here” which means she wants all her womanly features stripped and become a man. She wants to become a man because only men can kill. Then around the end of the scene, Duncan comes to Macbeth’s castle and tells Macbeth “Your hand, your tongue;look like th’innocent flower, but be the serpent under’t.” Lady Macbeth is telling Macbeth to look like a harmless flower, but strike at the right time, being the serpent under it.

Scene 6: Duncan and a few others appeared outside Macbeth’s castle. Once they are in the castle, Lady Macbeth greets them and praises the castles environment. He thanks Lady Macbeth  for her hospitality.” In every point twice done and then done double. Were poor and single business to contend Against those honors deep and broad wherewith.”

 

Letter to Jeff Kinney : Diary of a wimpy kid

Dear Jeff Kinney,

I’ve been reading Diary of a wimpy kid since I was 7 and I have really enjoyed these books because they are really funny and with his crazy ideas that sometimes backfire, that makes the game even better. I also like how you set it out like a proper diary which gives it the effect of the pages being dirty, ripped and dusty. When I started to read the book when I was younger, I didn’t like it. Nevertheless I continued reading it because I already took it out, so I continued reading it and I loved the book by the time I was finished (This was your first diary of a wimpy kid book I am talking about.) These books give me memories of when I was really bored on a rainy Saturday, so I decided to read my book. My brother read it and once he read it he would never give it back. I had trouble getting it back, so I think that my brother really enjoyed your books as well. All my friends even up to today me, my friends and my brother still read your books. My favorite books from your series are The third wheel, The ugly truth Cabin fever and Dog days. those are all of the ones that are my favorites. I hope in the future that you make more books like these and I will definitely read them.

Yours faithfully,Shay
