Your answer may include the following points:

The plot in act II is crucial because it contains Duncan’s murder. Act II has two scenes, the first set in Macbeth’s castle in Inverness.

In the previous act, Banquo praised Inverness for its peaceful atmosphere, but he now talks of the night being darker than ever. Banquo is worried that the witches' prophecies will lead him to ambitious thoughts. He is inside Inverness, where the plan to murder Duncan has already been hatched.

Though the next scene is also in Inverness, the murder of King Duncan is not shown onstage. When Lady Macbeth hears moans from Duncan’s room, so does the audience. This adds to the suspense of the moment.

Later, after Macbeth emerges with bloody hands, Lady Macbeth goes inside to place the bloody daggers near the chamberlains. When she returns to the stage, her hands are covered in blood. The erstwhile peaceful atmosphere of Inverness has given way to a bloody and sinister night. The porter’s thoughts on what it would have been if he had been "hell’s gatekeeper" suggest that after the murder of Duncan, Inverness has turned into hell.

Lennox comes from outside, but the atmosphere he describes isn’t very different. He witnessed a stormy night with the wind bearing cries of death.

Offstage, Macduff discovers the murder.

The second scene, which is set outside the castle, has an unnaturally disturbed atmosphere in sharp contrast to the peace of the earlier scene when Duncan arrived. This contrast suggests the breakdown of the natural order because of Duncan's murder. The change might symbolize how the evil inside Inverness is about to spread to the rest of Scotland.

1. When Macbeth moved to Inverness, you can already see his influence from his entrance. The second act centered around his influence. Even though there were other characters in the story, Macbeth continued to influence everyone in the scene.

2. Symbolically, Macbeth's entrance had darkened the atmosphere. His entrance brought darkness and gloominess. The brooding darkness was intensified in the battle scene Banquo and his assassin.

Varvara68 [4.7K]
That depends on the college she is going, who is giving the scholarship and the reason why she is leaving. Scholarships, have nothing to do with when you use it... usually. For example, if the person/company/association giving the scholarship said they would give her the scholarship for her las year of college they have to give it to her for that last year doesn't matter if it took one more year to get to that last one or if she got promoted one year above the one she was supposed to be they have to give it to her one year earlier, but it has to be the last year. 

So no, it doesn't matter if she takes a year off, she still has her scholarship she just needs a document that says she is taking a year off and why and turn it in to whoever is giving the scholarship.

What are the different kinds of persuasive techniques and examples please.....
pickupchik [31]

Types of persuasive techniques

The three types of persuasive strategies are logos, ethos and pathos, or L.E.P. The most effective persuasive communication usually has a mix of all three strategies. Logos uses logic or reason to reach a conclusion, while ethos depends upon the credibility of the author or source as support for action.
