Oral Presentation Reflection
In our group, we reenacted the whole MacBeth play with a video game. "Call of Duty" We picked out important points of the play and reenacted those scenes to show our understanding of the play. We incorporated parody and humorous scenes to make the play more enjoyable.
One of our essential questions is : What is Loyalty? MacBeth did not show a strong will of loyalty , and was tempted and persuaded into killing the king for personal gains. His loyalty to his king was weaker than to his wife and his own thought of becoming much more powerful. He was also not loyal to his close friends, MacBeth sent murderers to kill his friends when he found out that they were suspicious of him. In his mind, power was way more important than loyalty and honesty. “Be innocent of the knowledge, dearest chuck, Till thou applaud the deed “... “ And with thy bloody and invisible hand, cancel and tear the pieces that great bond” He "tore" that great bond apart by sending murderers to kill his friends. He did not want to take any chances of his dirty deed to slip out. He was blinded by power and ignored the bonds between people that he once loved.
Our other essential question is : What is ambition? MacBeth did everything he could to secure his throne that he stole from King Duncan. Ambition can drive a man to commit deeds that shouldnt be done. Like murder. MacBeth did not care about the process of the road, but just the results. “ I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven” On the night of the murder, MacBeth makes his final decision into this terrible deed. After the deed is done, he thought he could become very powerful and have a peace of mind, to become very happy. But that was not the case. Although MacBeth did not care about the process, the results brought him unwanted side effects. It was not pleasant.
Working in groups was a fun experience. Making the clips and editing it to publish the final product was a great deal of fun. Getting together and have a plan for working to finish this project was very important. We work well as a group and made sure we stayed on task and finish the job. Overall , something important that I have learned is that knowing and understanding the original material is very important and critical to making an reenactment of a story, because we needed to get the basics down before we add more content and comedy into it to make a boring story more enjoyable. Something that I noticed that I need to work on for next time is that to make the decision on how we are going to present the project sooner,and not change our opinions so many times, and be more prepared to find out how and what we need to finish this project. Overall something that I am proud of is that we made this MacBeth play much more better and funnier to watch, that we all came up with good ideas for this project to be as good as it is right now.
Each group member were very contributive , focused , and hard working. I would divide the amount of work equally for the 3 of us. So about 33% per person for the final production of our movie. Danny excelled at making the effects for the clips, and knowing how to use the editing softwares saved us tons of time of making this movie. Chris was very good at improvising and coming up with fun ideas, and song suggestions for the movie. His improvisation made the humorous scenes of our movie funny. He was also very eager to help us polish the final product. I came up with the idea of using Call of Duty to reenact the MacBeth play. I wrote up a script and the scenes that we should do for this project, and got on the Xbox with Danny and made it happen. We worked well as a team this time and hopefully next time we can work together again and make an even better product.

MacBeth Play Reflection
What is Loyalty?
Loyalty : MacBeth did not show a strong will of loyalty, and was manipulated into killing King Duncan because of power.Ambition and power seems to have taken over his loyalty, and I can understand it is hard to resist the power that you can have being a king. The drama begins after he loses his loyalty for his king.
What is Ambition?
Ambition leads to power, it is the first step into gaining power. MacBeth was so focused and determined into becoming the king, that he did not care what he did in the process, he just wants the results. But the results did come with side effects.

Response to MacBeth
My group partners are Danny and Chris. We are reinacting the whole play of MacBeth. We will re-do the main scenes of the play. Starting off with MacBeth being a brave warrior, then he was praised by the king. His wife, Lady MacBeth convinces MacBeth to murder the king, so he can become king himself. Macbeth had trouble going through with it, because of basic humanity feelings. But at the end , he went through with it. Some parts of him desired the power that the king had, and his wife wishes his husband to be a powerful man.
"How far is one willing to go to get what they desire most?"
Depends on the situation and the level of ambition. Some are willing to do ANYTHING to get what they desire the most, others might hold back and just let it go.

I am not who I was - Poem - Identity
I AM NOT WHO I WAS
Brandon Heath
Vincent Shum, 2-2
I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who i was
Used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt-side too
But i'm not who I was
Found my way around
To foriving you, sometime ago
But I never got to tell you
So..
I found us in a photograph
Saw me and I had to laugh
You know, I'm not who I was
Ooo, there you were right above me
And I wonder if you ever loved me
Just for who i was
When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you
Ooo..
Thinking that it's a funny thing
Figured out I can sing
Now I'm not who i was
I write about love and such
Maybe because I want it so much
I'm not who i was
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who i was
Used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt-side too
But i'm not who I was
Found my way around
To foriving you, sometime ago
But I never got to tell you
So..
I found us in a photograph
Saw me and I had to laugh
You know, I'm not who I was
Ooo, there you were right above me
And I wonder if you ever loved me
Just for who i was
When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you
Ooo..
Thinking that it's a funny thing
Figured out I can sing
Now I'm not who i was
I write about love and such
Maybe because I want it so much
I'm not who i was
I was thinkin' maybe I,
Should let you know
That I am not the same
But I never did forget your name
Hello
Ooo, a-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
But the thing that I find most amazing,
The amazing grace
Is the chance to give it up
Maybe that's what love is all about
I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who i was
The songwriter wrote about how he feels towards someone who was once important to his life.This song connects to identity because just as the title stated, he stated that he has turned into a completely different person, not the same person who he once was. He wrote and dedicated this song to that person who was in his life before. Most likely his ex girlfriend. He expresses how he feels now, and how he felt before. He wants her to know that hes different now, and maybe show her that hes been doing great and has moved on in his life. Changes happen when people have relationship with others. Whether you are with them or has left them, it changes, something inside. And it affects the way you think about things, the way you act, and choices you make in the future.
What does it mean to be an outsider or an insider? (The Lottery)
Tessie Hutchinson was an "inside" before she got picked to be stoned. She believed in the stoning ritual like every other villager. She believed that the lottery will actually bring rain into the village and harvest plants. But when she got picked, her fear of death came in. Everybody wants to live and not die. She was fine when other people before her got picked and die. But when it comes to herself. she started to deny the "practice" , and argued her way just to not die like the ones before her. She immediately became and "outsider" and gave up the practice. Maybe realized that it was just a bunch of non-sense and nobody actually deserves to die this way.
First Assignment
I could relate fairly well with Greg in the story "Brother Dear". I tend to have a different opinion than everybody else in my family. I like to choose what I like to do , and when I want to do something. I think that its your life, so you should be able to make choices with freedom without other people saying other things to bring you down. I can understand why Greg flipped out when his dad was bringing him down about the choice that he made. But I think that Greg shouldve told his father before he went to the dinner, because holding the secret for too long made the matter worse.
Ever since I was small my parents taught me that if I want to live a good life, I need to get into university so I can get a good job. I think its partially true, but if you can not have fun during the process, it will really change your thoughts and views to something negative. You will always think about doing everything right and busy all the time. It just doesnt seem like the way of life for me. I want happiness.
