Macbeth. Tragic Hero?

A tragic hero is a main character in a tragedy that had made a wrong move to lead into his or her downfall. I think that this is what Macbeth is. he is a tragic hero because he made some wrong moves, like killing Duncan, and Banquo. I think he would have never had even thought about those murderous actions if not for the three witches! They had ruined his life, I think, and made him die at the end. Lady Macbeth had also influenced him to kill and he should have listened to his own self. The power corrupted him in a way to make him kill, and therefore become a tragic hero, and it was a tragedy because he died.

Summary

I thought this might be a faster way for me to comment. I like the thought and honesty in your posts. You can see the learning and the confidence you are gaining as you have been working through this project. Your project was very original and creative to combine the two techniques and I am glad that you decide to challenge yourself and try the technology. As you are learning there are always some bumps along the ways. Similarly, Macbeth discovered that too, yet he kept after his goal to get and keep what he desired most.
Now do you think he is a tragic hero or not?

A reflection =)

1.Our group had chose our method of presentation because we thought it was different. We were hoping no one else would do something very similar to the way we presented Act 3 and no one did. Everyone likes videos, well most people do, and students tend to learn more and get it easier through visual videos. We also incorporated acting for the second part because we thought it would be more effective for our peers to see it live if they do not like videos, and also to get the old fashion appeal to the presentation!

2.For this presentation, when choosing our method, we were influenced by a number of slowmation cut out videos on youtube that we came across while researching about act 3. We thought it was so cool, and fun, and wanted to do something different and creative. 3.This project was different than past presentations because I have never done anything including a video for any of my projects. I was always to scared to do anything with technology because it might not work, and I am so scared of that happening. But in this project, I wanted to try it out and see how it worked. We had a couple of mishaps and difficulties along the way, but in the end I think it turned out great, and we had so much fun!

4.This project was probably a bit more challenging than past projects because of the work that had to go into it. The technology was difficult, but I had fun doing it!

5.I always seem to write more on my personal blog, and I think it has something to do with privacy. I tend to shy away from my own ideas when presented to other people or peers I know. I should really stop that, but it's a bad habit that I have gotten and it's pretty hard to get out of. =(

Daily Time!

Last class we finally had our presentations! I learned so much because of the helpful videos made and creativeness brought forward from my peers =) I am very excited to see the rest of the presentations, and am having a lot of fun watching them!

My Daily Blog.

Last english class, I found it very helpful to learn what other groups are doing for their Macbeth project. I liked the feedback idea, and our group thought that it was very cool to get new ideas for us to work on, and we liked the nice comments we got from our peers! Although now, making our slowmation with picture cut outs, I am finding it very frustrating but so much fun at the same time. But that's what technology is all about with me! I can never figure it out right, but I mostly get it right towards the end =)

At the past english class, our group was just about finished our project, and therefore just thinking about more ideas about music, or practicing our acting. When we got together later on to put it all together on the computer with the pictures we took, I learned how to work a movie maker program. It was so amazing, I loved using it. And I hope I get the chance to use it in the future =)

Daily and EQ =)

Last english class, I learned more about the Elizabethan language because I was making a script for our group to act with. It was difficult, but I soon got kind of used to it. I also had to change a couple of phrases and words, and add a little here, and take away some things there. But other than that, it was another great productive class!
For our act, I have picked the two essential questions:

1) How does Power corrupt?
~ well in Act 3, it just shows how the more power Macbeth wanted and fastly got, the more it corrupted him to want more and more. he tried anything in his power to keep it, and he would have never had done the things he did before he talked to the witches.

2) How far are you willing to go to get what you want?
~ In this act is shows how Macbeth is willing to kill for the second time to get full power! He is trying to hard to keep his power, and not get told on by Banquo. I can't believe he actually killed him, and he even hired two people to do it! This king is willing to practically anything to get what he wants, and I think that's wrong!
