Helter Skelter

Posted by mpottle on Friday Mar 12, 2010 Under Blogroll

In Helter Skelter, the true story of the Manson murders, the story line is disturbing and very interesting in how Charlie Manson convinced all those people to follow and convince them to break the law of murdering seven people and likely more but not convicted for more than 7. A person as insane as Manson must have a reason for killing people without a probable cause. Manson’s upbringing, morals, and his conscience must have played a role in his decisions. Manson’s childhood to when he committed the murders must have been build into his brain that killing was the right decision and point to make to the world that he was greater than all the rest. Manson’s morals brought him to the decision of killing innocent human beings. The selfish conscience of Manson helped him kill innocent people without realizing or feeling wrong. Manson’s teaching of love were not out of love but out of selfishness and the desperate need for attention and superiority.

Manson’s childhood was not a happy or productive start. Kathleen Maddox, his mother, was a drunk, promiscuous criminal. His mother had failed to take care of her only child. Manson then moved around with his grandmother, uncle and back and forth to his negligent mother. Before Manson was even a teen he began to steal and was sent between reform schools and prison. Manson had spent more than half of his life behind bars. The only motivation, while Manson was in jail, was his sons and wives. Manson would go to the judge and beg for parole because he wanted to be with his family. The question is whether or not the love for his family existed or his family was the only reason he could present to the judge to get out of prison. Manson must have been capable of love. He didn’t stay with his wives long and didn’t raise his sons but he thought about them.

Morals are formed from life experiences and what we believe to be right and wrong. Manson’s vision of right and wrong was mistaken in his life. Murder is the one of the ten commandments and a major law in all societies. Murder is wrong and there is no excuse for killing any person, deserving or not. Manson had to have known that murder and convincing people of committing murder is wrong. When Manson told the courts his Family killed for him and the Family chose to kill does not make sense. Brainwashing is not possible for people who are not born into the brainwashing environment. In Brave New World the people were brainwashed from birth. John the Savage, even though he was never exposed to life without soma and fun, figured out that life isn’t as the Alphas had portrayed life. Brainwashing, even when started at birth, can be broken and if the rules are known then there should not be an issue with killing or any laws. Manson said love was what was keeping his Family together and happy. The love that was made up by Manson had brainwashed his Family.

Can a person be human without a conscience? Manson did not have a conscience. Manson allegedly killed nine people, in his novel, and did not completely take the blame for the murders. Manson brainwashed his Family with drugs and the idea of love. Manson’s idea of love, sex and a sense of belonging had convinced the young seventeen to twenty-nine year old females and males. To be as stupid as the people in the Family is unbelievably to me. To commit murder and defend Manson like he is a God is crazy. The females and males of the Family got taken advantage of. The Family members must have been in desperate need of affection and acceptance because killing for a sense of belonging is a desperate act or were just plain stupid. There is no excuse for killing. Blaming murder on love and a human God is brainless. In the DaVinci Code there is theories that go against God and his story of creation. In the DaVinci Code people sacrifice themselves for the higher power above God. Manson was the higher power above God from the Family’s beliefs. Whether the drugs were a large factor in the murders or not, they truly believed Manson was God and did his deeds and commands. Manson’s love misguided the Family. Manson wasn’t thinking about love or the Family, he was thinking selfishly and insanely.

Charles Milles Manson is a sick disturbed man. How can a man live with himself after convincing and personally killing innocent people? On wikipedia the next parole date for Manson is in 2012. Manson has been denied parole over 20 times. The idea of Manson getting out of jail, even supervised, is scary. Any killer should not even have the right to gain parole. There is freedom laws but the murderer took away freedom so the government should take away Manson’s freedom. Manson’s life had to be hard but there is no excuse for slaughter of innocent people. Love can be expressed in thousands of ways but the effect and neglect can change a person’s future. Manson’s love was selfish and only benefited his ego.

Romanticism vs Classicalism

Posted by mpottle on Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 Under Blogroll

Romanticism, classicism, and how art and beauty is viewed how we judge the world. Viewing the world in a positive perspective has an innocence of thinking. Thinking positive and seeing the whole world is childlike. Being positive can bring joy and excitement to simple aspect like Santa Clause. Romanticism is seeing the world as beautiful and loving nature and the non symmetry of nature’s view. Classicism is harsh and reality compared to romanticism. Classicism is symmetric and has a mathematical aspect to beauty. Being classicists is only finding beauty in formulas, art that is symmetrical, and the architecture of buildings. William Blake’s poems of the innocence and the experienced chimney sweeper are examples of the conflicting perspectives of romanticism and classicism.

The first chimney sweeper poem by William Blake was related to the perspective of romanticism. The first poem tell who the new and young chimney sweeper who had a dream of trapped boys and an angel sets the boys free into a meadow. The innocence of this poem is the chimney sweeper is not thinking of hell but a much happier place to rest. The chimney sweeper is childlike because he sees the positive and the beauty in the death of the boys in his dream. A similar movement is the Dusseldorf school of painting. The schooling taught to paint landscapes and less symmetrical than the classicist period. In the romantic period they believed landscapes and nature was godly and beautiful because of the lack of symmetry.

The second chimney sweeper, innocence, is the view of classicism. Classicism is symmetrical, and is as perfect as possible. A romanticist would argue no object or person is perfect. There is flaws in all people and all objects. The poem describes a child in the snow while his parents are at church. The child dies but is happy because he didn’t suffer long. The poem is harsh because the boy dies and isn’t sugar coated by angels or an imaginary vision. Classicism, related to romanticism, is a harsh reality with no sugar coating. Classicists believe in perfect, mathematic, and a symmetrical world. Nature that is not symmetrical is not art or beautiful to a classicist.

Is there such idea as right and wrong? In classicist and romanticism there is no right or wrong. Not all people are going to agree with both values of the views of classicism and romanticism. We judge the world because we don’t know the in’s and out’s of the whole picture. I judge people in the city because I don’t understand why they dye their hair blue or green but I don’t know their motives or thinking behind such a outgoing representative of the person they are. People belief what they do because of their past and life experiences. Being positive and having the strength to not judge and understand people or beliefs as they are, not let a personal view criticize others beliefs. We judge the world as we see the values best fit our lifestyles.

Romanticism and classicism are two different perspectives that conflict because of their values and beliefs of being beautiful. Being beautiful comes from within and from past experiences. Snakes are beautiful in their own way. There is no reason for people to belief they are gross and scary. Generations before have given them the belief that snakes are scary. Rural people are all hick. People assume because of the farms, all the land, and the activities we take part in. Going to a bush party is what we resort to because clubs and house parties are not available to us. Our values take part in how we live and what activities we partake in. Values can be influenced by others but are strictly personal to one’s beliefs.

A Time of Hope and Courage

Posted by mpottle on Tuesday Feb 9, 2010 Under Snowflakes

Having heard the news that my mother has cancer was difficult to grasp but living with the reality is even more devastating. The news was difficult to process at first because I was worried about my mom, what this reality would do to my family and how I would deal with this new dilemma that changed my life completely. Having changed our lives for my mom has been difficult for all my family but was worth every extra moment we spent making my mom’s life easier. Changing our lifestyles was the easiest accomplishment we’ve even done for my mom.

The news was difficult to believe when my dad first told me the news after my mom had gone to the hospital. A week before she had gotten the results she took a trip to Edmonton for an appointment with a specialist. Not knowing what the doctors appointment was for, I just focused on school and work and didn’t worry too much about the trip because no serious illness or disease has affected my immediate family. My mom, I know was feeling somber but she tried with all her heart to be strong and be positive and because of my mom, our family and friends have respected my mom for her strength and positivity.

My family is the quite type that rarely expresses how they are feeling. My dad is the strong father figure and when situations get him upset he keeps to himself and doesn’t yell, just is silent. My mom is positive and without her courage, I don’t think my family would be as close as we have become. Jared lives in the city and rarely hear from him. Knowing my brother he’d be upset but trying to feel brave and wouldn’t let the situation control his dream of going to school to be an engineer. Devon, my younger brother, has been affected by the disease but his responsibilities and lifestyle hasn’t changed as dramatically as the rest of the family. There isn’t a person in my family or friend’s of my mom’s that are not affected by the reality of my mom’s cancer.

My life use to be carefree before my mom’s cancer. My life has changed from this devastating disease because being seventeen isn’t about having fun with my friends when I please, or make plans last minute. Before I make plans there is a process that needs to run through my brain. Do I need to make supper, does my brother have a ride to and from practice or games, do I need to get groceries and how do I juggle all the responsibilities at once? I was forced to be more mature and do more than an average teenager should do for their family. I’m not complaining. Being responsible and having to think about my family members before myself is making me more mature for my future.

My families’ lives have changed forever because of cancer. The flu or the chicken pox would change only a few weeks of life but diseases like cancer, familial insomnia, and Crohn’s can affect a person’s whole life and all the people surrounding their lives. My family has been affected negatively and positively. We are hurt by cancer and we don’t yet know how to deal with feelings of hurt and role changing in the family but there is time to fix and repair our lives after my mom is done her chemo and hormone therapy. Thinking about not only ourselves, we’ve become closer and been more of a team effort in being positive for my mom and her disease.

Rights and Responsibilities

Posted by mpottle on Wednesday Jun 17, 2009 Under Blogroll

Human beings have the right to live how we desire, responsibility to respect others and their choices, and the right and responsibility to make life as prosperous and happy with respectable choices and decision best suited for a better life. Having different rules and the stress of guidelines are difficult to satisfy what people want to make their hearts race and find that rush to please that part of life all souls need. People judge others for doing what our society thinks is wrong and sinful but all people have done wrong. Judging is a part of life but the harshness of judging is terrible because even if the “wrong” isn’t the same or viewed as worse every single person makes mistakes and has done wrong. People complain about their life and don’t take action to make their life more happy or worth not complaining about. Human beings have the right and choice to make their lives better or as they see fit not the people they are surrounded with or the experiences they have gone through.

People are going to break the rules if rules are set up to limit defective behavior. Breaking the rules gives a rush and a sense of fear of getting caught. People, who have grown up with a different set of mind, opposite of mine, think the only rush they can get is breaking the law and the rules set up for the people. No matter how much rehabs or the law tries to direct misguided people they can’t seem to convince most. The common person is going to live the way he/she wants to live. Whether they want to live following the rules and finding more productive ways of getting the rush, like running or extreme sports, or if they want their live to go against the law. Every person chooses their way they want to live. Being born in a certain environment is difficult to switch on a better path for the good of yourself but no matter where or how a person lives there is a choice to make and choose a better future.

Every human being has the tendency to judge others when they do wrong. I assume judging happens to make others feel better about themselves and build the criticizer up from their wrong doings and be able to think they can start over because others havedone wrong and worse than themselves. Judgment from God and from inside yourself is what matters. Comparing others to you to make the conscience inside is wrong if there is a negative feeling because of a simple mistake. Growing off others mistakes can benefit and teach tough life lessons just by being shown an example. Choices are made individually and not much can stop that decision to be made without pushing the person away more. Loving parents have a tough time letting children decide for what they think is right. Parents usually believe they are always right and even if proven wrong. Children need to make their mistakes to grow and experience and know what direction they want to go in the future after high school, away from their parents, and learn early so mistakes are less common and frustrating while being alone and not depending on parents to fix the problem. People need to experience choices and decisions for themselves and parents and peers need to respect choices and decisions because mistakes will be made no matter when they choose to grow up.

Humanity has the idea in their minds that if we complain enough all our problems will go away. The reality is the more we complain the less happy and successful our lives are going to become. Complaining in younger years might get us that snack right before supper or that extra hour to hang out with friends but in the real world, after high school, where we’re on our own doesn’t get us sweet tweet. Taking a boring class or doing a chore that might take some effort or won’t teach us any life skills is tough to accomplish. Grumbling about the task is not only going to make the burden more difficult to finish but the task will take longer. Personalities differ in the complaining department. More so than others because of the way they are raised and how they deal with unwanted dilemmas but being more positive and discovering complaining is just wasting time and so much more can be done within that time is a choice people need to make in this world. The choice of being more positive and being wiser and saving personal time will help individuals become a better person and have a brighter and successful future.

Making decisions and respecting other’s choices with respect is the citizens of the world responsibility. All people choose their own path in life no matter whether they choose to follow the influence of others or find an entirely new path. The decisions people make are entirely up to them and no one else’s judgment or influence should tell them what they should do or if they’re doing wrong. Stereotyping has made the world afraid to be who they are and are being too strongly influenced by unacceptable influences and ridding the world of real people. Real people wouldn’t be hesitant to make their lives worth living or find the positive aspect in all situations that are uncomfortable.  All people have the right to make the decision to have a happier lifestyle with a positive behavior and shouldn’t be solely influences by the types of role models or the experiences they have endured.

Best I Can Be For God

Posted by mpottle on Friday May 1, 2009 Under Blogroll

God thinks of us as how we treat others, manage ourselves, and the way we live our lives whether in God’s perceptive or our own. Treating others the way we want to be treated is one of God’s golden rules. Having the valuable trait of treating other people as you’d like to be treated at all times is an advantage in today’s world. No person wants to be treated poorly or without respect. The self control and natural quality of treating people with kindness and respect brings joy to countless people. People don’t understand how or when they treat their bodies below what God would want. Smoking, alcohol, and greedy diets are examples of enjoyment that are not what God wants. People believe if those examples make them feel good then the substance is good for their bodies and state of mind. The choice to live life without God is our own. God doesn’t necessarily want people to follow him but to live their lives with the compassion that God would. Choosing to live a healthy and spiritual life is the life God wants us to live. God doesn’t expect us to follow all his rules literally all the time. People make mistakes. The effort your putting into life and living healthy is what counts. God wants us to take the best of ourselves and make this world better with our traits that advance our lives in a positive way.

How we treat others won’t cost your self esteem or life any setback but there may be misfortune for being rude and not respectful. Respect for others and their needs will get you far in life. In situations when there is a higher authority respect and the treatment of the higher or even equal level will decide where and if building in that career will happen. The military is a perfect example for respecting higher, older and more experienced people above yourself. If any disrespect is given there is punishment. When the cadet follows the rules and authority there is chance and hope to continue to grow and gain a higher ranking. A personal example would be with my parents. My parents don’t put up with disrespect and neither do I. I don’t have the patience or will to calmly ask or gain respect. I treat people as they treat me. Treating people as I’d like to be treated only applies to me when they have earned respect or respect is needed to advance in their “good books”. Having an attitude is a disadvantage to God’s rule of treating others. My advantage is being a decent person and giving people limitless chances to regain my trust and respect.  I try to make my relationships as healthy as they can be with my advantages but I’m not perfect and am trying to live like God would want me to.

Freewill and the control we have over our lives with decisions and experiences can either be either the way God would live or the carelessness of what God wouldn’t want. Taking care of our bodies and the lives we have make us the kind of person we want to become and be in the future. Exercising and taking care of our body and not over indulging in food and drugs. God wouldn’t want us to be selfish and hurt our bodies for the happiness we can possess in a sober life. Believing in God helps me not to be tempted by drugs. There are substances that harm my body and a mistake of over indulgence can make me feel horrible. Thinking about how much alcohol and smoking can damage my body God gave me and to take care of is disappointing. I’m not as bad as most but knowing I can’t be as healthy and faithful to God is hard to accept. Most teenagers do need their fixes of substances but there should be a limit and a realization of how much they consume thats hurting their body. My disadvantages is peer pressure and the time of the temptation. After a hard week and being with friends can tempt me to drink and I’m working to fix that temptation. My advantages I’m very proud of. Not even tempted by doing drugs and getting high is one of my strongest beliefs. I don’t believe in drugs and know what they turn people’s lives into and wouldn’t wish that on any person in the world. Not doing drugs has made and will make my life the best life and goals I wish on myself without limitations. 

The determination and goals of people’s lives are on themselves. People choose how they wish to live and the choices they make. The pressure to choose every aspect of our lives can be stressful. When I make a choice I think what would be the best for me and all the other people involved. I rarely think what would God do. I don’t not consider what would be the best act based on my values and religion. I don’t go to church but I believe in the word of God and his commandments. God has guided my decisions because my values mirror most of God’s values. God said in the ten commandments not to worship any person but him. Believing a person is greater than god isn’t right. There are rumors about how the earth was make and how all the creatures came to be. There would be proof if there was the big boom of a large planet that collided and made the universe. Believing God made the Earth makes sense to me because of the logic of the long told stories and miracles he did and put on this Earth. Advantages in believing in God is the reassurance he will always love and be with us at all times even when no one else is. God will love us for who we are and the people we become because he created us and believed in freewill and our determination for life. Disadvantages I have would be not going to church and showing my faith as often as I should. I don’t believe people have to go to church to believe in God but that would be a successful way of showing people your faith and respect for God. I have tried to make this world a better place by being myself and following God’s will for his human race and Earth. 

There is no way of knowing what God expects or wants us to accomplish. Not knowing is hard to determine what is right or wrong and making the wrong decision in the end makes you feel disappointed and a sense of failure with God. God don’t judge and we should live the way we’re comfortable. My life is based on a few of God’s values and tie into my own. Treating others with respect won’t give us misfortune. People can only gain with being respectful and courteous with others. the freewill we have in life can frustrate others and myself. Being able to control almost all the aspects of life is stressful because a small mistake can change your life forever. Living the way of God depends on the person. I like to live with some of God’s values to better my life. God wants us to be the people we are best at being and make this world better with our advantages and faults.

The Person I Want To Become

Posted by admin on Wednesday Apr 8, 2009 Under Blogroll

The person I want to be is successful in my goals, have a loving and happy family, and a career that is satisfying for myself and supports my household and the style of life suited for my life in the future. Having goals in life can give a sense of being and self worth when the goals are achieved. Even when the goals are not as successful as you want them to be, there is a sense of trying and knowing next time you try the goal there has to be more effort and skill put into the goal. A loving family can give you courage and support to reach the goals and the person you want to become. Without family to support you and give you traits to make you unique, all people would be like the stars on movies and shows. The reality part of getting traits from parents makes the world unique and have different opinions on issues that are debated every single day all over the world. Careers are difficult to choose and can be stressful to choose when your in high school, and don’t exactly know what you like and would enjoy for the rest of your working career. Knowing what you enjoy is important because the earlier you start the career you enjoy the sooner and easier life becomes. The person I wish to become is not going to be perfect but will bring happiness in my life even if the happy and successful moments are scarce and limited. There are depressing and mile stones in a human’s life and looking at the positive will give a better perspective on life. Positive thinking and actions can make a persons life more happy and bring joy to others that experience and learn from being positive in all aspects of the journey through life. Expecting to be perfect will only bring more disappointment than life should have.

Goals can make a person stronger and willing to try new experiences and make life go smoother with more determination and courage. The determination to try your goal and the thrill and excitement from reaching your goal. Having a goal and having the courage to try and accomplish the needed goal is a wish come true. People wish for their goals and dreams to come true all the time and some do not even try but just think the wish is out there, that the wish will be enough effort. Marks in school are an example of wishing and goals. All student wish they would just magically be an honor student and not have to lift a finger to achieve the marks. The smart students have the determination to study, pay attention in class, and finish their work and only in rare cases that tactic does work out. Failure will either make you give up on the goal but a strong person will stand right back up and try again with a different strategy and points of view on the topic. Studying from reading off a paper most likely is not going to work in a pure math class and trying questions and practicing examples will give the result wanted and desired for future plans and life. The self worth and self of accomplishment from achieving the goal you de can be the best feeling in the world. Being proud of the effort and the time you spent reaching the goal is greater than just reaching a goal with no effort.

Family raised me and have generally made me the person I am today. There are people at school, friends, and popular influences that are the fake part of a person. My family have the same traits and the same personality and will give me support and the strengths and ideas that have helped them with problems and goals. There are subtle differences but the failure and not being perfect should only make you stronger and try to be more clever next time. Having a family that loves me for the person I am is a blessing I have taken for granted before. Sure personalities clash in my family, mostly the stubborn trait, and the outcomes involves fighting and disappointment. Being stubborn come bring disappointment and the only way to get rid of the disappointment is to brush off the failure and either start over or accept the fact parents have their reasons, even if their reasons make no sense. Thinking about taking my family for granted hurts and I hope I teach my kids to respect me, as well as me respect their opinions and choices as much as possible. Respect is a word that gets thrown around and respect to me is only deserved when mutual respect is given. Controlling and higher authority isn’t my idea of respect and respect should be earned in all aspects. My family now, and my future family, will give me the love and the will to live for them and myself and will make me happy. The past and future moments my family will give me makes me happy to know that our bond is strong and there is no family like my own. There will be disappointment and betrayal with my family but they will make me feel better with the love and respect they treat me with.

The final career that an individual picks makes a person who they are and determines what they enjoy in life. Teachers love kids, doctors want people to be healthy, and construction workers love the money and the hard work. I want to become an orthodontist assistant for three reasons. I get along with younger people and their personalities. I’m not old enough to know that for a fact yet but I prefer young adults more than adults. Adults have their set opinions and habits and to chance the teen’s habits for the better will have a larger success rate than adults with their set routine. Making people smile and want to smile is a goal I’d love to reach. Having braces is hard to smile and show the metal isn’t attractive. Knowing that I will get the braces off is an amazing feeling. The feeling of being able to smile for pictures and school photos without being shy and not wanting to portray that your a nerd or a geek is not a great one. I want to remind the kids to look forward to the feeling of pride and confident when the braces come off. The excitement of counting down the months, weeks, and days till the braces come off is exciting and a mile stone feeling for people with braces. No more pain and holding on to the memories with braces and making life more confident with them off. The final feeling is to support my family, enjoy going to my job, and having the feeling of accomplishment every single day of work. The money and feeling that I know I love my job would make life less stressful and negative. My life and my family’s life, in the future, will be the most important and supporting them with my income and love will help me live happily and make life positive.

Life is filled with goals and choices. All choices will determine life and the way to live life. I want my life to consist of family, my lifetime career, and the goals I wish to achieve throughout my life. Life will be successful as long as I have the three essentials I wish to have. My goals will help me gain confident and the determination to try harder when the goal isn’t accomplished successfully. My goals will have meaning and give me the boost in life to accomplish actions I’m scared of and wouldn’t try if previous goals weren’t done. Respect and love from family will make my life worth living. I can’t imagine not having a family or not being loved for the real person you are. My career I want currently want to pursue will help me find who I am and what I want in life. Where ever my goals and choices take me positivity will make me life a happy life. Having a positive and loving life will give others joy and give me more joy and happiness. Being positive and not expecting to be right all the time will make me who I want to be.

Malcolm’s Test

Posted by mpottle on Wednesday Jan 21, 2009 Under Blogroll

Malcolm, in Act four, scene three, had Macduff begging for trust and loyalty with Malcolm. While talking in England, where Malcolm was hiding, Macduff came and explained to Malcolm that he wanted to join Malcolm in the war against Macbeth. Macduff never did fancy Macbeth from the time Macbeth was crowned and was against him ever since. Macduff now wanted to defeat Macbeth and knew, if Malcolm grow to trust him, Malcolm would join in the war against Macbeth. If Malcolm trusted him there would be no worries with back stabbing and the extra effort of wondering if Malcolm would be a suited king for the country of Scotland.

Malcolm is a bright man and knows he can’t trust a soul when the country goes to war. There will be a backstabbing no matter if the more noble of men trusted just one most honest individual of the entire country of Scotland. Malcolm decided to play a game with Macduff and make positive whether or not he would be faithful and not disobey want he desired. Malcolm questioned and tested Macduff by asking Macduff if he, Malcolm, was a horrible, man whorish, and treacherous king would Macduff still help him regain the power his father, Duncan, once had possessed. Macduff proved his loyalty to Malcolm but not one can be sure whether Macduff will be faithful throughout the whole war. Their goals are similar, wanting to kill Macbeth and for Malcolm to regain the throne, but is a similar goal enough to destroy all temptations for disloyalty.  One will tell in before, between, and after the war against Macbeth.

Clever or Coincidence

Posted by mpottle on Tuesday Jan 20, 2009 Under Blogroll

Macduff doesn’t have a large role in this play yet he has a big impact on Macbeth when invited to Macbeth’s castle. Macduff is the only thane that denies Macbeth’s invitations to banquets and I wonder if Macduff has a strong feeling Macbeth is evil or if Macduff just isn’t in the mood and too lazy. Macduff seems like a clever gentleman because he is the thane of Fife and needs to become intelligent to rule a part of Scotland. Telling whether or not Macduff is a threat or smart is difficult to tell. With only denying Macbeth’s invitations I imagine Macduff as just lazy and loyal to Duncan. I imagine Macduff as a fat old man that never takes the effort unless much loyalty is toward the current king.

Macduff must have been friendly with Duncan and been greatly not fond of Macbeth before his crowning. Macbeth may have always been power hungry and Macduff may be the kind of person that can see the real person behind all the hiding and fooling. Before the play began Macbeth may have done wrong to the past thanes of Fife or just personally to Macduff. Rudeness or just simply attitude would turn off the ruler and thane of Fife. Just assuming Macbeth lied or was unloyal to the king could very easily get Macduff to dislike Macbeth.

Repetition With Meaning

Posted by mpottle on Tuesday Dec 16, 2008 Under Blogroll

People with power use their voice, tone, and repeat what they want to express. Having the voice of express saves all the guessing from the listener and the confusion. People use their freedom of speech every single day and the use of their voices can create new ideas and new solutions to problems.

Using freedom of speech has a different effort for every person. Different personalities have the ability to persuade others in what they believe. Being a world leader or a priest would be a person who has a strong will and a believable voice and meaning. Without believe in a world leader or a priest would cause disbelief for the followers and people to rebel. A lawyer would have a strong voice too. Convincing the audience of the proof or their believes on the issue is a great talent. Lawyers could convince weak people to change their opinion and their believes because lawyers know how to use what knowledge they have and persuade people of their believes and their views of the world and other issues.

Tone can change the meaning of the words every time. If a person is in a bad mood their have a bad or cranky tone whether or not they wish to express their view from their words. People respond to a happier tone and putting a happier tone on their words is better to convince to a person’s mind. Unexpected mood change can the tone in a person’s voice. A grumpy tone can upset the other person causing a fight. Having control over your tone will get you farther in life and keep from pointless fights happening.
