Media Affecting Society
Articles:
Video:
The first article shows how media changed American Society, now a days everyone wants to be in the trend or be the one everyone is like "wow I want to be like her/him." The second article is about how social media affects us, especially teens; people are so dependent on their phones to call, test, and etc. and just can't meet up with people and see them face to face. The video is about a girl that was getting ready for a photo shoot and she did do that photo shoot, but they completely changed how she looked in the ending. Some people don't appreaciate what they have now and people/media can change them, like how teens want to look like celebrities.

Rough Draft: Macbeth
Throughout the book, Macbeth by Shakespeare there was a continuous theme, greed, guilt and karma. All of these things are in the world as of right now, we're not all innocent people. We will all have this in our life because we all make mistakes and we will feel that greed, guilt and in the end karma will get us in the butts.
His wife was the very one that started all of this nonsense, who knew it could end like how it did. "Our guest must be taken care of. Tonight's great business you must leave to me. it will secure us unchallenged power for the rest of our lies." (Act 1, Scene 5, lines 65-69). Lady Macbeth was so filled with greed that she obviously kill for the power that she longed for. If Macbeth didn't tell Lady Macbeth what the weird sisters told him maybe this would've been different but Macbeth was so excited about the news that he had to tell her, and he loved his wife so very much that he would do anything for her, even kill Duncan. "Coward! Give me the daggers! Sleeping and dead people are like pictures of themselves. Only children fear a picture, even of the devil." (Act 2 Scene 2 Lines 53-55). Lady Macbeth was blinded by the power and money she was going to get when she becomes queen, so she would kill just to have that power because she was sure that no one would find out that they did it. Macbeth knew he couldn't go back and put away the daggers so Lady Macbeth did it to make sure that they wouldn't get caught, she's wearing the pants as of this moment and Macbeth was just the little frail girl. They didn't mean to do it, its just that Lady Macbeth was filled with greed and power thus she forced Macbeth to do the deed for her.
Almost everyone has a little guilt in them before they do something bad or after. "Is this dagger I see before me? With its handle toward my hand? Come- let me hold you! Nothing there. Yet I can still see you." (Act 2 Scene 1 Lines 33-35). Like I said before people can get guilt before they do the deed they were planning to do; its mostly because people know that they might get caught. That's what led Macbeth to seeing the dagger even before he stabbed Duncan. We can all get like that we feel like something is holding us back from something we want to do but we know its wrong. "Which of you have done this? You cannot say I did it! Don't shake your glory locks at me!" (Act 3 Scene 4 Lines 50, 52-53). During this scene Macbeth saw Banquo's ghost; his guilt created a ghost to show that he has done a horrendous deed. He embarrassed himself in front of all of his friends, they had no idea what was going on but it did grow some suspicion. Not everyone can hide what they have done, guilt can eat you from the inside.
Ever heard of the saying "What you put out into the world comes back to you. How you live your life determines what kind of life you will have," that's karma. "The smell of the blood is still there. All the perfumes of Arabia cannot sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh." (Act 5 Scene 1 Lines 43-45). Lady Macbeth couldn't keep it in any longer so when she started to sleep walk and talk she spilled the beans, she said what she told Macbeth that night he killed Duncan. Its kind of like karma because she didn't sleep talk before and it just came out. "Hail, King! For such you are. See where the usurper's cursed head stands! The world can breathe again." (Act 5 Scene 7 Lines 83-85). When Macduff said that he had Macbeth's head on a sword. Karma came to Macbeth in a horrible way, he got it in the butt badly. Macbeth would've have gone through all of this if he had killed Duncan and Banquo but it did happen.
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth had troubling times, but Lady Macbeth did learn to stop the nonsense. For Macbeth he continued to kill and cover up all the lies and he ended up on a pole. He could've stopped but he wanted to be king and wanted to fulfill the prophecy that the weird sisters told. We could learn from this; greed will cause trouble and trouble will lead to guilt thus karma.

Group Reader Response LC#2
dehumanization: To deprive of human qualities such as individuality, compassion, or civility.
The behavior of some prisoners have changed as they have been in these camps for a while. They start to give up hope for themselves as they try to push through the days of struggle. Eliezer was very curious about things, he wanted to know answers to what was happening; he saw many people that he was with die and some started to help others to live (even though they might get punished) and he was very grateful for it.

When the Jews were in a panic they didn't over react like how people would do nowadays instead they put trust into what the people were telling them to do, they didn't know what was going to happen so they just followed. Their faith is what kept them going.

- "My father was a cultured, rather unsentimental man. There was never any display of emothing, even at home. He was more concerned with others than with his own family."
- "It was him that my initiation began. We would read together, ten times over, the same page of the Zohar."
- "Time passed very quickly. It was already four o'clock in the morning. My father ran to right and left, exhausted, comforting friends, running to the Jewish Council to see if the edict had been revoked in the meantime."
- "Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live."
- "Those absent no longer touched even the surface of our memories. We still spoke of them-who knows what may have become of them-but we had little concern for their fate."
