This picture of me here, is when I got Siward to join forces with me, so that together we may take down the dreaded tyrant Macbeth, and restore the natural order.
Alas! I've finally entered England reaching the king's castle! Upon entering the castle, I met with a countryman named Ross, who... unfortunately gave me horrible news of the death of my family & kingdom, but it was for all the best in leaving my family, so that I may bring this terrible tyrant Macbeth DOWN! Ross took me to Siward (king) where I held a discussion in a plea for help telling how Macbeth must be taken down, and Siward kindly accepting said "The time approaches, that will with due decision make us know what we shall say we have, and what we owe. Thoughts speculative their unsure hopes relate, but certain issue strokes must arbitrate: towards which advance the war." I now know that with help on my side, I cannot lose, and proper order shall be restored!

Thematic Comparison 2
I read a story called 'Fall From University Grace,' by Marty J. Chan, and I've decided to compare this story with a picture, which I got off of an article by Judy Lin on Google images. Now the two share the same meaning, getting the mark 'F' will get you no where in life, but being mature, motivated, and setting goals for yourself in life will give you greater, thus giving you a future. In the story, it starts off with a metaphor, followed by the theme of the story. 'Just as Adam was cast out of Eden, I was kicked out of University; but while his transgression was eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge, my sin was ignoring the tree.' After my dismal performance in my first year of University, I contemplated the reasons for my failure. The character is stating how they went to their first year of University and had a horrible year, because they did terrible in their courses due to the actions that they caused, thus receiving a terrible mark, and failing the year. Now the characters downfall was because of the following:
1) Lack of a career goal + premature independence
2) Immaturity
3) Lack of direction + motivation
4) Abuse of freedom
5) Procrastination + Distraction
6) Leading fast paced life
The character created these traits, and caused the problem them self, and now they look back thinking about what they did for this to happen, and to never do it again, but to improve. The picture shows a blank-lined booklet with two pencils, and a 'big fat F' on it. This shows traits such as no-motivation, and something like that can lead into a habit, which can cause you to not care, and receive multiple 'F's.' Most people in life, will at least say 'no one likes a failure,' to themselves or someone else. This here proves that you should always try your hardest to the best of your ability, but at the very least be bother to try the work, instead of just leaving it and becoming a 'failure.'

Thematic Comparison
Alright, so about a month or two ago, I read this short story called 'The Veldt,' which I found interesting, and I've decided to do a thematic comparison on the story with a YouTube video. So here I go...
In comparing themes with 'The Veldt' and this YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olm7xC-gBMY), it shows how society is becoming dehumanized. In 'The Veldt', the children (Peter and Wendy) of the main characters (George and Lydia) have come to believe that the house is not only their home, but also their real parent, and that George and Lydia are slowly disappearing out of their kid’s lives. George and Lydia are rich, and own a massive house that is completely technological, and has a nursery. Now the problem with the parents is that they don't spend any quality time with them and all they do is talk to the kids, and their type of talking is lecturing, arguing, and trying to prove a point, where as the house does EVERYTHING for them, and that the Nursery is the greatest thing of all in the house for the kids, because it acts as a futuristic room where you can think of anything that you'd wish to appear, and it'd be right there in the room. This proves that the kids don't like talking with the parents, because it always ends up with them fussing, or not agreeing with the parents. On the other hand, when it comes to the house and its nursery, it always taking care of the kids and spending time with them which they love, and it shows in the story where the house wakes them up, cooks, cleans, rocks to bed, etc., and when they have fun, their usually in the nursery playing in their imagined 'India'. In the end, the kids have become dehumanized so much that they kill their parents, and acknowledge the house as their true parent. In the YouTube video, the man becomes dehumanized so much due to the FPS (First Person Shooter) that he plays that he considers real life, like the FPS. The man's life is just insane due to the fact of all the things that he believes. He strives off of FPS, he enjoys killing people (especially getting head shots), he believes you run faster with a knife, every time he gets a hold of a gun it instantly points at someone's head, etc. This here proves that technology has changed this man's life drastically, and he’d rather play an FPS over anything. In both story and the video, it shows how technology takes a hold of the people and alters their life, making them act differently, and think only about wanting to be with technology more.
