Macbeth:
Two truths are told as happy prologues to the king.
Thank you gentlemen
This (prophecy) cannot be bad or good,
If it is bad,
Why would it have begun in a truth?
I am lord of Cawdor, if good why do I think about the horrible image
of  murder that makes my hair stand on end and my heart drop knock on my ribs.
My thoughts bother me more than the fear.
Thoughts of murder are tormenting
me so that any future action is covered by thoughts of what is
to come, or nothing is what it seems.

Today I read Gregory's essay. As I was reading it I notice that he wrote about the man in the greek plays. I notice that he had a different point of the man in Medea and Antigone. He spoke about how the actions about the man was best. WHen I read the play I dislike Jason and Creon because of what they did two two woman. But after reading Gregory's essay my view kinda change. I understand where Gregory is coming from. I enjoyed reading this beause I was able to see someones different side of the man and actually learn something. I learned that both man actually did those suppose because they wanted everything for the best. Not to make those women’s lives hell either. I enjoyed reading this essay because he had quotes that supported his thesis. His topic sentences supported his thesis. Once I read his intro I got hook into it. HE gave good ideas and examples. THe only thing I will have to say is that he is missing a 3rd body paragraph. He only had two body paragraphs.   His conclusion is too short, he should put more writing into this essay. His quotes were really good. As well. I felt that will one more proof read and him finding his mistakes he could be fine and write another paragraph because it was not a complete essay.

As for my essay I have to say I loved my intro. I felt that I did a good job making a good hook and backing it up with a good thesis. However, I felt that i could of done a better job with the quotes. I did use quotes but I only used about 3. The quotes that I used backed up my thesis but I felt that it could  of been better. I wish I went to the writing before handing in the essay before hand, but once i get my grade and review my corrections I will do a better job. For my next essay I will go to the writing center to get comments on how I can improve in my writing and get a good grade.I really want to get a A in this class. I love english so much and I love writing. I just have to put more effort into getting that A in my essay.
