Macbeth Reading Journal #1:July 22th,2011:
"So foul and fair a day I have not seen."(I,i,)
 * Part I**.

This is a a paradox.

This is an important part in this play.It shows this is a bad and good day. Though they have won the battle they lost a lot of soldiers' life.


 * Part II.**
 * I will act one of the witches.I think their live should be live in the cave with all the other witches, spend most of the day in the cave and prepare for the ingredient to asked for others' future. Making jokes with their future.**

Macbeth Reading Journal#2
part1" I am the actor in our group, media type="youtube" key="13pQ7c8IW10" height="349" width="425"

1) three good acting ideas:the costume of the witches is good we want to find that kind of costumes to film our film too. the action of these three witches are good too. They act it in a scare voice and the environment that they choice is benefit.

2)The actor in this video create a new way to act the witches, they choice boys to act the witches but it also is a good film. Because the costume they choice are perfect and they change the voice in the film, they use cartoon's voice to make it seems scared.And the place they find to act is very close in the book.It can easily shows us the emotion in the book.The things I learn from this video is it is not very important to create a new way different to others and it is also very important to put yourself into the character you act that is the most useful way to have a good film.

part2.The shampoo I choice in journal#1 is paradox.At act1 sscene3 the witches say to Benquo:"You're going to become lesser that Macbeth, and greater." This is a paradox, how can a man become lesser and greater. But it gives readers a clue that though Mecbeth can be the king but he will not be a good king and he will not be the king very long. Although Benquo can not be the king even killed by Mecbeth, people will remember his greatness and his son can be the be the king to finish the things he has not finished.

Macbeth Reading Journal #3
The theme appears in our group’s scene is apperance. In our film the witches was caught by Macbeth and Banquo at the endmedia type="youtube" key="5yJnvv_R2rk" height="349" width="425" This video is a famous cartoon in the world. It talks about the love between a beauty and a beast.It is very hard to understand a person just looking his appearance. In this video,although the beast's appearance is ugly he has a good heart.He is much more good looking than many mans that have a good looking appearance.

In our film the three witches have a good appearance but their hearts are ugly. They regards human's life as insects."I will bring trouble trouble trouble" They get a crystal ball which has the strongest power in the world. They started to conflict with Macbeth and Banquo because they do not believe their predictions. They killed the soldiers, which makes Macbeth totally angry. Finally the witches were defeated by Macbeth because they rely on their power too much.

Macbeth Reading Journal #4
example:1.Fair is foul, and foul is fair 2.A sailor's wife had chestnuts in her lap, And munch'd, and munch'd, and munch'd:-- 'Give me,' quoth I: .... I'll do, I'll do, and I'll do. 3.Lesser than Macbeth, and greater. 4.Not so happy, yet much happier. 5.Thou shalt gets kings, though thou be none: 6.//So foul and fair a day I have not seen// (1.3.40) 7.Cannot be ill, cannot be good: if ill, 8. [|To be his purveyor]: but he rides well;And his great love, sharp as his spur, hath holp him To his home before us. Fair and noble hostess,We are your guest to-night. 9.//Was the hope drunk/Wherein you dress'd yourself?// (1.7.39-40) 10.I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none.(m) 11. Who dares receive it other,(lady macbeth) 12. This diamond he greets your wife withal, By the name of most kind hostess; and shut up In measureless content.(act2.scene1,18-19)

2) Lesser than Macbeth, and greater.(paradox) 3)a.Banquo is less great than Macbeth and also greater. b.Banquo live shorter but people are proud of him, though Macbeth has be the king he was not a good king and people hate him in the end c.Banquo did not be the king but his son be the king d.Banquo believe less to the witches less than Macbeth,and at last Macbeth lost every thing e. Banquo has less ambitious than Macbeth and he is a much more responsible solider than Macbeth. 4)The witches in the novel are evil because they turn people to become evil.They combine the good and bad things together.
