"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.

Research Paper

          In my research paper I feel really confident about everything except my last conclusion paragraph. This is because I was ready to be done with my paper and my last paragraph makes absolutely no sense at all. However I still feel like i need to work on my sources, like i did my sources and everything and refered to them in my essay; but i feel like i didn't write them in my paragprah like i was supposed to. But my works cited list is fine its just the parts where i talked about each source in the paper.
          So I definently need to work on the proper format to write the sources in and I also need to work on my last paragraph more because it is just horrible and lazy. HAHAHA I think everybody has one of those moments.

Sneaux day Free post + reading log

          During the Sneaux day break I was mainly doing homework and studying to get ahead in each subject. Between the end of each subject I would take about a 30 minute break and go play with the ice and stuff outside. Although it was really cold I felt like I had to go outside becasue how many times a year do we have ice and stuff on the roads outside in Louisiana, like never right. So during my breaks I knocked down all of the icicles off my roofs and doors. I left a wet rag outside the 2nd day and I came out the next morning and it was hard as a rock and stuck to the concrete.

Research + Reading Log

       My research topic is about Iranian Nuclear War Program (a.k.a. INWP). My topic is very important anywhere between 1970 and modern day and on. The INWP started creating and designing nuclear bombs in the early 1970's but didn't actually make a prototype until the late 1970's and early 1980's. This topic is a major world wide problem, and all of the problems are looking at the middle, saying, "What have you started?"
       To me my topic is important to the whole world because nuclear war is going to be the future of fighting, but i hope it wont be. This topic occurred recently, and is starting to develop more as the days go by. As the days go by more and more problems are starting and they are almost all coming from the middle east, especially Iran. That is my research topic.

Student Prompt for 1/13

Emelia: Come up with a question to ask several people, and then write what their response would be.

        My question to my friends would be, "What are your favorite ice-cream flavors, and why?" The reason I chose to ask them this question, was because it was the first question on my mind. I didn't really know what else to ask the friends that I am going to talk about, without embarrassing them. HAHAHA.
         Wayne Stabiler's response would be,"I like all types of ice-cream but my favorite is Chocolate the best. I find chocolate good for my body, because it calms me down."
         Ben Leclere's response would be,"Chocolate chip cookie-dough is my favorite because I LOVE COOKIES."
