MacBeth Blogpost

 King Duncan has been slain. MacDuff sighted upon this poor event. After knowing of this tragedy, the public was informed soon after, taking them into chaos. King Duncan was constantly stabbed. It could be because of several reasons. MacDuff thinks this is all MacBeth's fault, so he basically assumes that Macbeth isn't saying anything although he assumes he knows about it. Since we know that Macbeth isn't innocent for any of this, he additionally doesn't seem to appear innocent.  Banquo, as greedy as always, wants to be crowned king and wants the throne to himself. He wants to stop MacBeth's efforts from becoming king, as they are the ones competing for who will be the rightful king to sit on the throne of Scotland.

Blog Post #1

 My new book club book is "In Order to Live." I am very interested to read this book because it expresses the conflicts the character goes through explicitly and describes North Korea as being in very brutal conditions, which makes me wonder, how is Yeonmi going to get through her conflicts? It was originally published on September 29th, 2015, and has really good reviews on Goodreads. The setting of China extremely surprises me, as she goes on to describe the hushed landscape and she explains about her life and how it has been. The setting is in the 1960-the 1970s, and so far into the story, it has mainly been at her home.

A interesting idea that occured to me during the TED talk.

 One interesting idea that occurred to me during the TED talk was when they published the idea of a Syrian architect who had published a book written during the war. I thought that this example was relative to what was going on in the text. It relates to the conflict that has been going on and connecting to the book. I think that this article was very informative in how it persuaded to the audience. He explained in pure detail about how he wrote a story while he was off in battle. He further goes on to explain how his lifestyle was and how he used to live in the suburbs.
