"Fair is foul and foul is fair"

               Fair is foul and foul is fair is probably one of the biggest discussions we have talked about over the course of this book. Fair and foul and foul is fair to me this quote is the main reason that the this play was written. I think Shakespeare made this play revolve around this quote/thought. In every seen people in the play always make references back to Fair is foul and foul is fair. 
               I chose this quote to talk about because it seems that this quote refers to Macbeth and lady Macbeth who are the two main characters through out the play. Scenes where this quote is really referred to is the very first scene where all the witches say this quote and start doing their chant.

The addicting game called 2048

        2048 is a fairly new game that is in the category of skill and strategy. The objective of this game is to move tiles around with different numbers and combine all the numbers to make 2048 in one tile. This game is harder than it seems to be. It takes about  20 minutes of staring at a 5x5 board and trying to get 2048. When ever I play 2048 it is impossible for me to keep the large tiles in one exact place so they won't be scattered all over the board whenever you are close to getting 2048.
         Since I have only gotten 2048 once in the past two months I always move the tiles up and I lose within the next two to three rounds. A lot of frustration is building up inside of you because either you make the wrong decision when you are about to lose, or you lose before you get the opportunity to even come close to being able to win the game.

Twelve years after lifting their ninth in Glasgow, the kings of Europe will be fighting for another Champions League title, this time in Lisbon. The final will take place on Saturday the 24th of May, in the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica against Chelsea or Atlético de Madrid. It will be the thirteenth final in Real Madrid's history. The Whites have reached the round more than any other team, followed by Milan, with 11, and Bayern, with 10.       Atlético de Madrid beat bayern Munich 4-0 letting Atlético de Madrid play in the finals for the Champions League in Europe. The Whites have an impressive record there: nine titles from a possible 12, in other words, they have won 75% of their finals. The 1950s and 60s were dominated by the team from Spain's capital, with eight finals and six titles. After losing in 1981, the Whites reigned again in 1998, 2000 and 2002. On the 24th of May, in Lisbon, they will be battling for the coveted Décima in their thirteenth final.

Response to statement

 If you are in a position of power, you are happy.

To me this statement means that if you are in the lead or have higher standards of each other then you are happy and excited with your life. Like say if I was first place in the race I would be happy and excited with that.
