When he wrote it, he added Scottish elements to the play.  Apart from being set in Scotland, the two-fold balls and the treble scepters refers to James’ double coronation that took place at Scone and Westminster.  In the play, the two balls symbolize King James’ double insignia that he wore to show his reign over England and Scotland.  The treble scepters were symbols for the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland.  Another symbol is Malcolm’s citation of the scrofula.  This was attributed to James’ belief that his touch could cure.  This was said to have come from Edward the Confessor.  James was a patron of Shakespeare’s plays and Shakespeare added these elements to the play to show his appreciate for the King’s support of his theater company.

Macbeth" relates the story of someone who overthrows the King of Scotland by killing him. This is similar to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when there was an attempt made by a group of rebel Catholics to kill King James I and blow up the parliament. In addition, the mention of the witches in Shakespeare's tragedy coincides with James' enthusiasm with the subject of witches.

Another important aspect of "Macbeth" is that it is the only Shakespearean play that is set in Scotland. This helped to legitimize King James' rightful succession to the throne of England, as he was the son of Mary Queen of Scots.

maksim [4K]

Characters: Kate, Darby, Tracy, Mr. Jacks

Setting: takes place in an airplane at night.

Purpose: I think the purpose it's to tell how Kate is reacting inside the airplane before it gets in an accident with no food when she is trying to scape....

Conflict: all the passengers got trapped on the airplane at night wit no supplies.

rising action: the moment that the story says "She ran past one plane after another. They were all parked in the hangar, just as they had been the day the force fields came down around the airport, trapping fifteen hundred people inside. The force fields seemed to be electromagnetic prisons, although no one knew for sure what they were made from or for what purpose. They appeared around cities and small towns, around farms and islands, and even around tiny villages in the middle of Africa. They were everywhere—and nobody knew who put them there."

Climax: when she finally scape from the airplane, thanks to a space bellow the mirror.

Resolution conflict: She scape from the airport but she fell fear and guilty because on the back of the mirror that she scape says " Use this to get out, from Kate" so she and Mr. Jacks were the only ones how scape.

I hope this help : )

Answer:

Change the 'and' to 'but.'

Change 'a test' to 'any tests'

Explanation:

<u>You wrote:</u> My best subject is Spanish, and I haven't passed a test this month.

<u>After Changing:</u>

My best subject is Spanish, but I haven't passed any tests this month.

If you change it, it sounds more like you are unhappy about your Spanish skills and makes more sense.
