 * This year was hard for me but I can see my improvement throughout the year. I have many papers that I have improved in, not just for other people’s likes and dislikes but also to see if I could do it. I wanted to see if I could improve in my work over the course of 4 quarters. **



This project was is my analysis of Lady Macbeth. The reason why I chose Lady Macbeth is because the thought that she was the most persistent against Macbeth.

Lady Macbeth evolved from being mean and overly ambitious, to crazy, and then she wound up dead due to the guilt inside her. In Act 1 scene 5 pg. 16, Lady Macbeth opens a letter from Macbeth and reads what Macbeth needs to tell her about the witches’ prophecy. Lady Macbeth reads the letter aloud… “Whiles I stood rapt in the wonder of it, came missives from the king, who all-hailed me Thane of Cawdor, by which title, before, these weird sisters saluted me, and referred me to the coming on of time with Hail, king that shalt be”. This means that Macbeth spoke to the weird sisters about Thane of Cawdor. This also means that she is overly ambitious and crazy about Macbeth.

In Act 1 scene 5 pg. 17 Lady Macbeth hears some news about the witches and Macbeth and Lady Macbeth feels like she is being treated a little to kindly, and to soft.. “Come you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe topful of direst cruelty”. Lady Macbeth wants to be treated like a man.This means when she gets these ideas she doesn't want to be crazy about such in a hurry and people begin to take advantage of that. She doesn’t want to be mistreated. She feels that man woman they are all people.

In Act 1 scene 5 pg. 18 Lady Macbeth talks to Macbeth about the killing of king Duncan. She tells him about the power they could have together… “ He that’s coming must be provided for; and you shall put this night’s great business into my dispatch, which shall to all out nights and days to come give solely sovereign sway and masterdom”. Lady Macbeth is saying kill the king so she can feel a dispatch also so she can become queen. This says that Lady Macbeth needs to able to make her own choices and then carry out the those choices herself.

In act 1 scene 6 pg. 19 Lady Macbeth talks about honors and royalty they could have. Lady Macbeth is persuading the best the can to get Macbeth to kill his best friend, his companion… “ All our service in every point twice done, and then done double, were poor and single business to contend against those honors deep and broad wherewith your honors your majesty loads our house”. Lady Macbeth talks about what she is going through. This means that not everything works out the way you planned it to.

In Act 1 scene 7 Lady Macbeth speaks out to king Duncan and tells him what really going on… “Your servants ever have theirs, themselves, and what is theirs, in count, to make their audit at your highness’ pleasure, still return your own”. Lady Macbeth is talking to King Duncan on how the servants treat him. This means if you have a servant they listen to your command but don’t obey as he/ she should.

In Act 1 scene 7 pg. 22 Lady Macbeth talks about is talking to Macbeth. Macbeth seems to be having some problems. She discusses his feelings inner and outer. She is also describing Macbeth. “Was the hope drunk wherein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since? And wakes it now to look so green and pale at what so freely? From this same time such I account thy love”. Lady Macbeth is seeing an evolvement inside of Macbeth. She is seeing a new person. This means that something is wrong with Macbeth he doesn’t look well and she’s guessing he doesn’t feel well.

In Act 1 scene 7 pg. 22 Lady Macbeth continues on her conversation with Macbeth about taking that throne. Taking advantage of what you have now. Don’t think about the consequences. “What beast wasn’t then that made you break this enterprise to me? When you durst do it, then you were a man; and to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man”. Lady Macbeth is now trying to put Macbeth back into his normal state, but she is having some trouble. This means that Macbeth is about to take a huge risk, he is still deciding on if he shall kill the king or not.

In Act 1 scene 7 pg. 23 Lady Macbeth tries to make Macbeth feel safe again, now everything is falling into place. Duncan’s death is near. “We fail? But screw your courage to the sticking place and we’ll not fail”. Lady Macbeth is now giving Macbeth the courage, the spirit to kill KING DUNCAN! This means that Macbeth is done waiting he is about to strike. Macbeth now is starting to feel the urge like his wife.

In Act 1 Scene 7 pg. 23 Lady Macbeth is discussing the steps to killing King Duncan, they are thoughtfully planned out she knows what she’s saying. “When Duncan is asleep, whereto the rather shall his day’s hard journey soundly to invite him, his to two chamberlains will I with wine and wassail so convince that memory, the warder of the brain, shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason a limebeck only”. Lady Macbeth notices that she has boosted Macbeth confidence to kill King Duncan. This means he there armed and ready. Ready to kill, going into Duncan’s room and plunging a sharp dagger into his Duncan’s body until death.

In Act scene 2 pg. 27 Lady Macbeth is satisfied with the killing of King Duncan Macbeth has done. “I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry”. Lady Macbeth seizes, she feels accomplished. This means it is over Macbeth has done it Duncan the King is now dead.

Now it’s all over for now Macbeth kills Duncan. All of these events lead up to what just happened. Lady Macbeth is happy and overjoyed to take the throne as a queen. Macbeth at the moment is surprised and scared. Now the state Lady Macbeth is in is mean.



I walked into 8th grade with a positive mind “Opener”. I walked out with excitement but to be finished 8th grade. 9th grade was for me to come focused with school and Tech, which is all I was able to think about I cannot stress how much feeling I have for tech. I’ve been to about four Tech programs. There is one main program I liked especially and that program was STEM.

Although my grades in 7th grade weren’t the best I decided to work my hardest. I thought about high school all the time I wondered how it would have been to be in my sister’s shoes. I wondered what high school was about, what did it lead to. I knew I had to do well, just to help B’s and me with a better chance of good grades by that I mean A’s. I will tell you how I made it from 8th grade to high school. It all started in 8th grade. I had to choose schools. After looking up information on the schools that stood out for me I decided that they were really the schools for me, then on the 5th school. I just chose any school. I was called and informed that I was able to attend SLA high school. I accepted in excitement. That next day after that I went to school with a smile on my face and proudly told how I was accepted into SLA. I didn’t regret it, not one bit. I went to school talking to my friend who also got accepted, Maleena. I also told someone who goes there that used to go to my school; Asia.I knew that I was going to have fun in high school.

When I was in summer institute and I loved the way the school was built. It was an office building. I got to know my advisory with Ms. Garvey and Ms. Martin. Then we had our expedition group. The expedition group I was in was at the Rittenhouse square. My partner was Lexus. She is now in my stream Orange. Before that week I thought it would be hard for me to talk to people. I soon found out that is was fairly easy. After summer institute I found out that there was a cross-country team and I wanted to be apart of it. That week of cross-country practice I met Sarena not knowing that when school started up she would also be in my stream. I connected well with her. I began running and practicing with Ms. Geirke, she was a wonderful tseacher.

School started back up and I got to see my advisory again. We had a new student. That student’s name was Victoria. She was now a new student in Orange Stream. I’m in high school and it’s harder then I thought that it would be. I having trouble comprehending certain things but it’s coming along. I’m still keeping up by that I mean not failing. I am a part of Orange nation. Orange nation is a rival against Red Stream “Red Rage”. They’re other streams Blue and Green they are also a rivalry. I love my groups and love my classes. The thing is I have to give up a big part of my social life in order to stay safe, by safe I mean to keep myself moving forward instead of backwards. There are many people who got left back. That is something I simply cannot go through. The reason for this is because people/friends are done their work but you are not it then they ask you to do something fun and your stuck. You want to participate but you can’t.

In conclusion I would like to stay at SLA. It showed me how to use time management, which is good if I want to attend college. I believe the step 8th grade was a challenge for me. I don’t believe that I didn’t try. I tried but I couldn’t work to my fullest potential. Most things I understand and some things I don’t and this school is vey complicated. I believe that work is a main part of the school, projects without these aspects of school there would be nothing to learn nothing to study. You need work ad projects just for a school to be a school.



Need To get the New Copy From Ms. Findlay :{ sorry I did do it.







So the book review I chose was on Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and the reason why I chose this book was because I felt I knew this book well and loved the action inside the book. I also wanted other people to see the action I saw that’s why I recommended this book to many people. I also recommended that people should watch the movie, just to get a sense of the book.

The title of the book I’m reading is Percy Jackson and he Olympians “The lightning Thief”. The author of this book is Rick Riordan. This book is a vey active book it keeps you reading. This book is a Greek mythological book. It shows the son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson. This book is also a movie. It may be a bit different then the book. This book was on the New York Times bestsellers list for children constantly. ABC New also listed this book 9th best in USA TODAY’S bestseller.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is about a kid who discovers a secret that blows his mind and changes his life. In the book, Percy Jackson is a regular school kid who has a best friend named Grover. He soon finds out that Grover his best friend is his protector from the evil mythological monsters that is after him. Percy’s mom dated a disgusting guy to keep the evil away. His mom and Grover took Percy’s to the camp Half Blood which infers that Percy Jackson is a half blood. Percy is being blamed for taking the lightning bolt; he also figures out that his father is Poseidon. Percy goes on a quest to find the lightning bolt. He travels with Grover, and Annabeth. Annabeth is the daughter of Athena, war, strategy, wisdom, crafts, arts, science, and industry. Percy figures out who took the lightning bolt and return’s the bolt to its rightful owner. My favorite character in this book is Grover because he is a very thoughtful and protective person.

I can relate to Grover because I believe that I am a very thoughtful and protective person. I have been protected by someone before and blamed for something that I didn’t do so I can relate to Percy.

I like this book personally because I like action books I love fighting and conflicts. I also love to see creatures good and evil. A strength for this book is the creativity I can tell it took a lot of creative scenes to make an action packed movie.

I recommend this book to people who love action. It is very entertaining and it will give you a great perspective of person who can explain a God’s point of view.



These are my four journal entries. I believe these entries are one of my best.

The reason why and adult yells is because the adult is always “RIGHT”. I believe adults should listen to every child and not change what they think. An adult gives you full explanations instead of I said so. That isn’t how an “ADULT” is supposed to answer questions. They are supposed to answer questions with an explanation. I feel that if adults were like this, then they can call themselves an “ADULT”. I prefer to hear stories it better for me. I can hear/understand the story more clearly than I would have read it. I tend to fall asleep when I’m reading a book I don’t fall asleep listening to it. I prefer stories that were true. I would like to hear the other person’s point of view or what they have to day. If it’s true I probably can relate. If not I can’t really say if I can relate to a false story.

The thing that makes a person an adult is to act maturely depending on whom you’re talking to. This doesn’t mean yelling and screaming at your children or co workers this means to think about what’s best.

A hero to me is a person that you either look up to. It can be a person who saved you, who you care for, and anyone who you feel love for. A quality that a hero has could be either a bad or good one. Maybe if you love evil/villains that a person who is evil can be your hero not all heroes are good.

It all depends on what the tick was. If I did a trick and I thought it was really good I would wait until the trick played out for everyone. I wouldn’t do the trick on everyone but let each person witness the trick. Also what the trick can do.
