All hail MacBeth!

On the previous lesson, the whole of 2Respect revised the text on Act 1 Scene 2. It was about this Captain who came to inform King Duncan about the recent wars. Firstly, he told him that Macdonwald have been defeated by MacBeth and his army despite the Lady Luck always by his side. Secondly, ever since the first war against Macdonwald ended, the Norwegian King planned to steal the chance of attacking MacBeth with fresh new troops. And again, MacBeth ruled the second wave of war though their defenses were weak! Due to this second war, Captain was seriously injured and was in need of immediate attention to his wounds which brought him honour. The Norwegian King wanted their men to be buried because if they didn't, it is considered as disrespect and also dishonour towards the country. The Norwegian King have to pay $10 000 for this.

I think that the Norwegians should be ashamed of themselves as they planned to attack an another country who is weaker in defenses due to an another war. If they believe they could win the war, at least show some pride by attacking the other country that has proper defenses despite it being stronger or weaker. In my opinion, they don't deserve respect.

Superstition

A few months ago, on a dark rainy night, I was walking back home alone along a deserted road when suddenly an auntie came hobbling towards me. She came to predict my future about myself losing my close friend. I was in a state of shock and clearly I didn't believe her. How do you expect yourself to believe an auntie who had a big mole on her cheek? I was nearly laughing my head off staring at it. =P

However, I honestly had an awful feeling about it. Could what the auntie mentioned be true? Anything is possible, I thought to myself. I kept asking myself why the auntie even came up to me. It was weird. For a second,I thought she was a witch in disguise or some kind. But the thing is, witches doesn't exist. Or so the experts said. We can never be too sure.

The prediction came too soon. When I reached home, my mother told me that my close friend was going to migrate to Australia. My eyes widened in surprise while my jaw dropped to the ground. It was unbelievable! How could my close friend not tell me before?! My mother somehow knew I would react that way. She tried to console me saying it's not the end of anything which was pretty true. I dragged my feet towards my room and laid on my comfy bed.

It was around midnight by then. I was laying on my back thinking whether I should call my friend when suddenly something strucked me. Didn't the auntie predicted what was going to happen just a few hours ago? o.O
