Forest
Day:
suns out. warm. bugs buzzing. birds chirping. soft breeze. leaves rustle in trees. rabbits hope around. calm. music in headphones.
Night:
moon dimly lights floor of forest. crickets distantly hum. stray animals scurry across the fallen leaves. footsteps echo from the trees. sticks snap left and right. chilling breeze rolls through the rows of trees.
beyond the guarded white car towered the ominous city mellow puff factory
behind the strange vehicle stood the rookie guard his first day and his last.
beneath the towering smoke stacks purred the engine of the inspectors car, surrounded by trigger happy mercenaries.
on the draw bridge was a white car surrounded in guards
upon the suspicious car loomed the town hall of farmville
Act 2 Scene 1
“Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? or art thou but
A dagger of the mind, a false creation”
Shakespeare shows how someones mind can be changed and damaged because of guilt and regret. if the dagger were to be real in his mind that would damage and possibly kill him. his mind is dealing with the guilt by altering his vision making him believe it is real. he creates the dagger to move the blame to someone else and make him think it is not him doing the killing. he reaches out to the dagger only to find that it is untouchable as it is a “dagger of the mind” this suggests that not only will this dagger be killing Duncan but it will also damage Macbeth mind. The human mind is very complex, it creates false thoughts to deal with guilt and regret. it also shows in hindsight that using the dagger and killing Duncan may lead to his own demise.
The Martian is a science Fiction set in 2035 on Mars and Earth. the crew are forced off of mars 6 days into their month long stay and they all leave except Mark Watney the books protagonist who was believed to be dead. he was to survive for 550 sols (24 hours and 40 minutes). he does this by growing potatoes and rashoning while getting communication with earth back on and travelling 3,200 kilometers to get to the next mars mission. he is faced with many dangers. his crop dying due to explosion, his transport flipping but his biggest threat is loneliness.
A main theme for this book is perseverance. many times life has hit Watney hard but he always got back up on his feet and continued. This relates to me with my Computing Web Development task. i had many issues that seemed impossible to fix but after taking a minute or a day to think about it i managed to fix it and make my work 100% better each time.
due to my perseverance and stubbornness of not wanting to change my design I ended up receiving an Excellence mark for my hard work. another text which follows this theme is Ready Player One which is about a boy in a dystopian future determined to do anything and everything to win and survive
she should have died hereafter
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
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.
Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under’t
if this wasnt a metaphore this would mean that people see a flower and not see what it is hiding. for shakespear this means that Macbeth was a warm friendly person on the outside (flower) but really he is evil on the inside with evil intentions (serpant)

Quote: We shall not spend a large expense of time
Before we reckon with your several loves,
And make us even with you. My thanes and kinsmen,
Henceforth be earls, the first that ever Scotland
In such an honour named. What’s more to do,
Which would be planted newly with the time,
As calling home our exiled friends abroad
That fled the snares of watchful tyranny;
Producing forth the cruel ministers
Of this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen,
Who, as ’tis thought, by self and violent hands
Took off her life; this, and what needful else
That calls upon us, by the grace of Grace,
We will perform in measure, time and place:
So, thanks to all at once and to each one,
Whom we invite to see us crown’d at Scone.
Spoken language can communicate more than just what is said. The fluency of the speaker shows the confidence of the speaker and their knowledge of the topic.
“You lose a bit of control every time you insert hesitation into your speech.”
An example of this would be hesitation. “Yes, the um.. The match is really going to be decided on the, like the form of the teams, and like luck of the day”. As seen here there is uncertainty in the speech where there is hesitation. Not only do the speakers show a lack of knowledge of the topic, it also shows unpreparedness and unsureness of what they are talking about. However, text language doesn’t usually show this. Due to the fact that texting isn’t always instant, it gives the user a chance to be able to word what they say careful and find appropriate answers.
Hesitation can lead to a loss of control in your speech for example, ” in speech umm.. (next person) I am talking about something different and not interested.” Here the speaker has paused and lost the professionalism in his speech. This may lose the interest of others then, in turn, losing the audience and your control.
In text language hesitation doesn’t usually show in the forms of “Um” “ah” as it does in spoken language. For example, in the text, if the user is lost or uninterested they might say “haha ha ha haha.” When something is not funny. Words such as “LOL” are just fillers as they have lost most of their meaning due to over use.
In conclusion, I believe that the way someone speaks or texts shows their knowledge, confidence and interest in the topic. if you have a more stronger and fluent speech you show a high understanding and confidence
1.
Hesitation in spoken language shows that the speaker may be distracted, uncertain or unprepared for the topic that they are talking about such as ‘ UM ‘ ‘ AH ‘ and ‘ Like ‘.
2.
Spoken language can communicate more than just what is said. The idiolect of the speaker shows the confidence of the speaker and their knowledge of the topic.
