I am thankful for Carolyn in my British literature class. She and I always figure out the group work together and I don't know what I'd do if I didn't see her each morning. Her laugh keeps me awake and puts me in a better mood no matter how crappy I feel in the morning. We also have study hall and trig together and she helps me get through the day without falling apart. She happens to be one of the few people I have classes with who I actually speak and enjoy.
I am also thankful for Maddy in my British literature class, when she shows up. She always makes me laugh, especially when Mr.McCarthy throws things at her drinks and sends her angry pictures from my phone. Maddy brightens my generally dull daily life as well and I am so grateful that she came back to Whitney.
This class happens to be one of the only ones I enjoy. Mr.McCarthy is a great teacher and person who is relatable and kind to his students. He never condescends to anyone and gives great writing assignments that allow us freedom to express ourselves through our work. I am grateful for this class and the people in it.

"Then He is Read?"
At the end of the entire play Macbeth gets killed. Was it worth all the trouble? I don't think so. Macbeth did nothing while he was king that was good for the people and on top of that he didn't even enjoy it himself. The entire time he had power he was miserable and paranoid (having hallucinations about the people he murdered). Macbeth ruined many innocent lives and his own with no positive result for himself, his wife, or the people. This is a good example of why atrocious crimes aren't worth doing. Even when one gets away with a crime on a large scale they will end up having to cover it up and worry about maintaining the lie they have made their life. They will never be able to be close to other people because they will always have things to hide. In the end, no matter what the reward may be, obtaining something in a deceitful manner will 9 times out of 10 end in a situation that is worse than the one they began in.
