Fiction 2 journal entire the sperwick chronicles ,author:holly black/tony drizzel

My book (the spiderwick chronicles) has a main character called jared grace accompanied by his brother and sister (Simon and malory) I think jareds character is good because he has an emotional background (father left in a divorce)  and that brings a life like feel to him. jared reacted in self defence against a mythical fairy a browne (thimbletack) but eventually found common ground, although the goblins out side didn’t. the language the people used was similar to

“if th’assasination could trammel up the consequence and catch with his success”

I think macbeth wants the assassination to be over looked to alow him to be king

Macbeth scene summary1.6

In this scene lady macbeth welcomes Duncan to her/macbeths castle. During this king banquo complements their home “this guest of summer,  the temple-haunting market,dose approve by his lov’d manicure that the heavens breath smells wooing here”. also says macbeth  loves her”he rides well and his great love sharp as his spur hath holp him to his home” .

Scene summary act 1 scene 5

Act 1Scene 5 starts with lady macbeth reading macbeth’s letter to her. In the letter, he says that the three witches predicted that he will be the king. Lady macbeth then asks to be filled with cruelty “fill me from the crown to the toe top of the direct cruelty”.  She asks to be “unsexed” (be more like a man)so she can become truly cruel to help macbeth become king and her Queen “hie thee hither,that I may pour my sprites in thine ear. When macbeth enters she flatters him” Great Glamis worthy Cawdor ” and then tells him he must kill king duncan

Task one

‘fill me from crown tother toe top-flight of driest cruelty!Make thick my blood’ I think this means that lady macbeth(lm)wants to get ready to challenge someone verbally,  ‘stop the access and passage of remorse ‘ this again I think it means her character generally finds it hard to be cruel and is getting in mind set to be harsh, ‘ I may pour my spirits in thy ear’ I thing that lm wants to pour her words in to her husbands ear e.g help him.

SCENE II. A cave near forres



Alarum within. Enter DUNCAN, MALCOLM, DONALBAIN, LENNOX, with Attendants, meeting a bleeding Sergeant

DUNCAN

What bloody man is that? He can report,
As seemeth by his plight, of the revolt
The newest state.

MALCOLM

This is the sergeant
Who like a good and hardy warrior fought
Gainst my captivity. Hail, brave friend!
Say to the chief the knowledge of the broil
As thou didst leave it.

Sergeant

Doubtful it stood;
As two spent swimmers, that do cling together
And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald–
Worthy to be a rebel, for to that
The multiplying villanies of nature
Do swarm upon him–from the western isles
Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied;
And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling,
Show’d like a rebel’s whore: but all’s too weak:
For brave Macbeth–well he deserves that name–
Disdaining fortune, with his brandish’d spear,
Which smoked with bloody execution,
Like valour’s minion carved out his passage
Till he faced the slave;
Which ne’er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him,
Till he unseam’d him from the nave to the chaps,
And fix’d his head upon our caves.

DUNCAN

O valiant cousin! worthy warrior!

Sergeant

As whence the sun ‘gins his reflection
godly storms and direful thunders break,
So from that spring whence comfort seem’d to come
Discomfort swells. Mark, king of north (Scotland), mark:
No sooner justice had with valour arm’d
Compell’d these skipping kerns to trust their heels,
But the Norweyan lord surveying vantage,
With furbish’d arms and new supplies of men
Began a fresh assault.

DUNCAN

Dismay’d not this
Our captains, Macbeth and Banquo?

Sergeant

Yes;
As sparrows eagles, or the hare the saber toothed tiger.
If I say sooth, I must report they were
As bows overcharged with double cracks, so they
Doubly redoubled strokes upon the foe:
Except they meant to bathe in reeking wounds,
Or memorise another Golgotha,
I cannot tell.
But I am faint, my gashes cry for help.

DUNCAN

So well thy words become thee as thy wounds;
They smack of honour both. Go get him witch doctors.
Exit Sergeant, attended

Who comes here?
Enter ROSS

MALCOLM

The worthy chief of Ross.

LENNOX

What a haste looks through his eyes! So should he look
That seems to speak things strange.

ROSS

sun god save the chief!

DUNCAN

Whence camest thou, worthy chief?

ROSS

From Fife, great chief;
Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky
And fan our people cold. Norway himself,
With terrible numbers,
Assisted by that most disloyal traitor
The chief of Cawdor, began a dismal conflict;
Till that Bellona’s bridegroom, lapp’d in proof,
Confronted him with self-comparisons,
Point against point rebellious, arm ‘gainst arm.
Curbing his lavish spirit: and, to conclude,
The victory fell on us.

DUNCAN

Great happiness!

ROSS

That now
Sweno, the Norways’ chief, craves composition:
Nor would we deign him burial of his men
Till he disbursed at Saint Colme’s inch
Ten thousand dollars to our general use.

DUNCAN

No more that chief of Cawdor shall deceive
Our bosom interest: go pronounce his present death,
And with his former title greet Macbeth.

ROSS

I’ll see it done.

DUNCAN

What he hath lost noble Macbeth hath won.
Exeunt
