Ambition

A strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work that is what it says when you look up Ambition in the dictionary. When I look at that definition I think about a strong desire to accomplish a goal with out having anything get in the way or finding a way to come across any obstacles that come at you. 


An example that comes to me about having ambition is getting accepted into your college of choice and doing everything you need to do to accomplish that goal. The things you would do is always being on top of your school work, making up any work to keep your grades above the GPA required to make sure you have a guaranteed acceptance, being well rounded in school and out of school for your community, doing good on your sat's and act's. Having ambition is not forced upon you it is by choice because you really want to get to that school of your dreams or goal and that is where having drive and motivation comes into place. 


Being ambitious can come off in a bad way which consists of being obnoxious by coming off as someone who knows everything when they really do not and are just cocky about it. Even worse if someone does something to someone they can have ambition to get revenge on that person and harm themselves or that other person. 


Having good ambition in my opinon can get you very far in life if you look at it in a positive way not thinking as having to do a lot to accomplish one little goal, that "little" goal can be a life changing moment at the end. 

32 second Macbeth script

Actor 4 says: What bloody man is that?, the event that happened is that a bloody guy came up and was probably hurt because of something bad. "A drum, a drum!  Macbeth doth com" Mac beth was walking up and they did not want her walking up.  All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter: Mac Beth did something good and he should be hailed. If chance will have me king, then chance will crown me: Macbeth wants to be crowned if he can be for doing something good. Actor 5 and Macbeth are having a conversation about probably killing someone because hes trying to prove himself to become king and getting his courage up by killing actor 4. After the death actor 5 says a little water clears us of this deed, he has a weight getting lift off his shoulder because possibly actor 4 is the wife. Actor 6 tells someone to run away and which equals up Macbeth to do something with the deaths. Macbeth finally dies from the King of Scotland. Two observations that I see in this script is the way the actors talk to each other they do not seem happy with each other, they call each other names it seems like. Another thing I noticed in this script is that there was a sequence how people died. Two questions I have about this is what Unsex means and who is the king of Scotland.

Who would live like that? In the book this is someones real house and the way they lived. It wasnt always like that at first in the book Homer and Langley they lived in a huge clean mansion but later over the years they had different types of people coming in and out of their and the items that the people who stayed with Homer and Langley just kept piling up. Langley started Hoarding because he does not care that much about anything. Homer could not help prevent left over items being left over because he is blind and deaf but he is able to sense his surroundings, he knew it was getting worst and worst every time. These men are about 60 or older and they do not know how to take any responsibility for their actions because when they were younger their parents were never there and later on they died, Homer was always alone because his brother Langley was in the war. Homer wasn't exactly alone he had maids working for him. I enjoyed reading the book even though it was a fiction book, I did not understand while I was reading but when we had class discussions about it, It made me more interested in finding out more about Homer and Langley and why they did what they did. It seems more interesting because Homer was the narrator in the book but he was blind and death.

I think we should value the studying of literary texts from the past because the way people wrote things is different from today. The way it is different is just the way people from the worded things such as Shakespeare the dialect from the English language differs from today. The literary texts from different languages is important because they might have a different out look from the text then people from america have because they have different expierences, for example a topic about a television show I might be able to relate to it then someone from a different culutre because they might be more strict and can't apply something from their life to it. The role that PLN can apply in making my study more interesting is writing on blogger to practice my writing techniques also reading other blogs from people in my class to see the different ways to write. I can see how they write to get an idea for myself on what I am struggling with such as making my blog long enough I can see what other students in my class wrote about to get an idea so I can branch of their idea when I am stuck, this is why im excited on planning to use this blog more often to expand the way I write these blogs under 300 words. Another social tool i use is reading articles on the internet for news, the way I think we can use this to make class more exciting is having discussions about any topic that pops out at us and having debates if we agree or disagree about the topic.  This is what I want to be able to use  in English class to expand my writing and having topics to talk about with people. 

What I want to learn

What I want to learn in english this year is how to write better essays and research papers of all kinds. While I have been applying to colleges a lot of them ask to write under a certain number of words, for example the UCF application wants 2 essays under 250 words I cant even get it under 500 without using detail. So what I want to get out of this class is being able to write a good essay under 250 words with using enough detail and thesis to get the readers attention. How I will be able to learn this in Mr. Parson's class will be to ask him questions and also read short stories under 250 words and pay attention to how the author gets to the point with enough detail to make a picture in my head. The big thing that I finally want to be able to learn and know how to do it is punctuation within my essays or any work that has to do with sentences for any class. I have always struggled with that because I feel like I use to many periods or commas in my papers. I use periods a lot I think because I want to prevent a run on sentence because I seem to be able to do that a lot, The reason I use a lot of commas is because I think that the sentence should continue because its the same topic of the sentence I'm writing about so I want to add on. I want to learn when the proper time is to use a period, comma, and when to use any other punctuation in my writing and to write with enough detail in short essays by the end of my senior year in my english class.
