Olympics

I stood in the tunnel waiting patiently for my name to be called, then on the loudspeakers my name was called. Hagrid Saville. I got on to the track and started doing my stretches. Finally they called us up on to the running blocks. They fired they clakson. I buckled at the start but then I manged to regain my stride, then BAM! Oh @&£”. I fell down the sinkhole and was sucked into orbit, I didn’t see that there…..

Dark city

Beside a dirty, tatterterd, old phone box young Jimmy looked on into the dark, gloomy city. On his bike he rode while staring at the city, he remembered how much he used to love this city. It’s intriguing smell and it’s beautiful atmosphere really drove Jimmy into a phase, and he looked at it now. Over the bridge he rode, he wondered how the place he used to idolise deteriorated this much into a place he imagined, which was not far off of hell. He dreaded meeting his mum and his sister. They thought the city had its same charm, but he honestly knew they hated it. As he got to his mum and sisters front door, before he could even knock he was greeted by a wave of happiness and felt a bit bombarded by it all. Beneath all the happiness and joy he could tell his mum was holding it in. There was a reason why Jimmy was here, unfortunately it wasn’t for the best reason. His dad had been fighting a battle, a battle for a really long time. Unfortunately he had lost, the battle had been with cancer. When his dad was diagnosed as terminally ill, young Jimmy was distraught

Bridge

Preposition: a word that describes where you are, eg: on, under, inside, outside.

On the bridge was a silver, slick Bentley. It moved majestically, gliding through the air as the wheels spin elegantly over the bridge. In the car was Russian businessman on important business, about to sign a multi-million pound contract, which allows them to take over the whole of Gap.

Although Hagrid the Russian had a weird feeling about coming here. Why couldn’t they have they of just met in the office a like last time, this all seemed a little shifty to Hagrid. Jimmy emerged from his whip. It was German. The car was blaring music from the speakers and could have been heard from seven roads away. Jimmy got out of his car with a gun in his and pointed it at young Hagrid, he froze up.

The Ambition of Macbeth

Powerful, tragic, romantic, and action packed: these are only a few words to describe the many plays written by the great William Shakespeare. Whether it was a tale of love or a king’s rise to power, Shakespeare’s plays were, and still are, always top-notch and so full of meaning. Every one of Shakespeare’s plays has certain themes to them that make them unique and well loved even today; no one can master powerful and controversial themes like Shakespeare did. Out of all of these plays, one play stands alone: Macbeth. The story is about a man who is very violent and wants to be king of Scotland. With the help of his power hungry wife, Lady Macbeth, he kills the good King Duncan and gets his wish, but is forced to contend to the vengeful son of Duncan, Malcolm, and Malcolm’s friend Macduff. Throughout the play, these characters are shown wielding ambition, and the choices they make based on their desires determines the fate of Scotland and of Macbeth himself. The characters Shakespeare creates to desire certain things change the play drastically and bring it to its overwhelming conclusion. Through Macbeth, Malcolm and Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare makes violence, revenge and power go hand in hand with ambition to show the audience how far a determined person will go to achieve their achievements.

Macbeth, the most ambitious person in the play, is a mean king who has people killed so he can stay in power; this ambition represents violence. In the beginning of the play, Macbeth is a kind person who would never kill anyone for power. After his wife convinces him to kill Duncan, Macbeth’s life will never be the same ever again every murder he commits will haunt him until he is died and the unbearable guilt will destroy him and his wife. Macbeth slowly becomes accustomed to killing and does it more easily and without remorse. For example, after Macbeth becomes king, he begins to worry about the second part of the prophecy, when Banquo’s sons becomes kings. Knowing that he will not have any heirs, Macbeth dreads the idea of “the seeds of Banquo kings. Rather than so, come fate into the list, and champion me to the utterance…” (Shakespeare 3.1.70-73). Since he committed a bad thing to fulfill his desire become king, Macbeth does not want to lose everything he got to Banquo’s royal bloodline This shows how corrupt and villainous Macbeth has become; he will not let anything, not even friendship, get in the way of his desire to be the King of Scotland. And if the destruction of friendship is not a symbol of how strong Macbeth’s ambition truly is, then the manslaughter of an innocent man’s entire family is. When Macbeth sees the three apparitions, one of them tells him to beware Macduff. Surprisingly, after Macbeth learns that Macduff has fled to England, he responds by declaring that he will “give to the edge o’ the sword his wife, babes, and all unfortunate souls that trace him in his line.” (4.1.151-153). This shows how bad and evil Macbeth has become; he doesn’t even care about who he’s killing anymore. A wife and kids shows love and effection in a man’s life; the fact that Macbeth doesn’t even consider the moral consequences of destroying a loving family and killing children shows how filled with ambition he has become. Macbeth is so afraid of losing to Macduff that he believes that by killing his family, Macduff will be broken beyond repair and not be able to face Macbeth Unfortunately, he does not count on a certain someone to heighten Macduff’s hopes to slaying Macbeth by using his sorrow to his advantage.

He is also one of the most famous people of his time because he really really intrigues people in his old style writing, people used to come to South London and pack all of the theatres just to catch a glimpse of his amazing and awseome work

fair is foul

A paradox is a statement which is hypocritical of itself.

So foul and fair a day I have not seen

its a foul day because of the weather

Lesser than macbeth and greater

this is a paradox as something can’t be bigger and smaller than something as macbeth will never be king and he is king but macbeth is a worse man than banquo

Act 5 scene 5

Act 5, Scene 5: Inside the castle, Macbeth prepares to do battle with Malcolm and Macduff. He learns that Lady Macbeth has committed suicide and hardly mourns her death. He is hardened by his newfound life as a criminal and is thus devoid of all proper emotion and compassion for his wife. A messenger interrupts Macbeth’s reverie and tells him that he saw the trees of Birnam Wood moving towards the castle. In reality, this is Malcolm’s army carrying the trees before itself. Not believing what the messenger says, Macbeth looks out the window to verify his statement.

Act 5 scene 4

Malcolm and the Scottish thanes along with Siward and his son approach Birnam wood with their large army. Malcolm orders the men to each cut a bough from the forest trees and use it to disguise themselves so that Macbeth will not see them coming. The lords have learned from reports that Macbeth remains at Dunsinane and that his troops have dwindled because many of the men have revolted. The only men left to fight for Macbeth are men who had no other choice, and are therefore not so strong of heart as the men who fight for Malcolm because they want to. Malcolm and the lords are optimistic that Macbeth will be defeated, but they want to hold off on boasts until the battle has been won for certain.
