Macbeth Questions!!!
deff fn [24]
1) The witches predictions foreshadow what might happen because they are predictions that are at the beginning of the play and in the middle too, so the tension is building up as to why the witches said them.

2) Macbeth's reactions to the first 3 predictions were no other than shocked and confused. The other 3 predictions, he didn't care because he thought he was unbeatable and nothing and nobody can stop him!! But his ambitions so go down hill as his ambitions take control over him. He is a 'brave solider' at the beginning of the play, but turns into a 'dangerous' criminal near the end of the play. Macbeth's ambitions are his biggest weakness of everything.

3) Lady Macbeth is a clever, but deep down she is cruel as her husband is. She influenced her husband to kill Duncan, even if Macbeth didn't want too. The term 'coward' was used to make Macbeth have the courage to kill Duncan. Also Lady Macbeth wanted to change from being a woman to being a man, 'Come to my woman's breast and take my milk for gall' and 'unsex me here' meaning she want to have the courage to kill Duncan. She wants man power because women were know as the 'weak' ones and Lady Macbeth wanted to be the strongest one.

4) I don't know about this one, but I have some ideas about some thought.

- Macbeth feels guilty, remorse, from killing Duncan. (He has a guilty conscience).
- He starts having hallucinations, especially after the death of Banquo. He hears voices after the murder of Duncan, 'Macbeth does murder sleep' and this creeps him out. And the dagger that leads him to the kings room.
- His kingship was bad to begin with.
- Macbeth's Fate and Free will change throughout the play.

I hope this helps as much as it will help me!!! I'm sorry if I didn't help with question 4, I didn't know that one, but I did the other 3!!

Study island what does cramming mean in this sentence. This substance is made of the dense cells that grow densely cramming them
tangare [24]

Answer:

"Cramming" as used in the given sentence means "filled up so tightly", "packed so full", "stuffed".

Explanation:

The word "cram" is a verb that describes or shows tightly packed, or things put together in a compact manner. This verb tells us the manner of how things are kept.

As given in the sentence, the word "cramming" is used to describe how the "substance" grew on the bark of the trees. It details the manner of how they are so densely packed, meaning they are so tightly wounded and stayed together.

Therefore, <u>"cramming" as used in the given sentence means "filled up so tightly", "packed so full", "stuffed". </u>

Can someone help a guy out? I need to get this done and I need someone to go 1-3 and fix the grammar issues and rewrite the sent
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

1. She swam the English Channel several times in the past year, and felt extremely accomplished afterwards.

2. My brother and I need to buy shirts, pants, socks, and shoes for school. So we really hope our parents have enough money.

3. The dogs' tails wagged as father gave them John's leftovers. John looked at them in anger.

Explanation:

The question we are answering here demands a thorough knowledge of English since it includes several different types of grammatical mistakes. Let's explain them:

1. Proper nouns, such as names of rivers, oceans, countries, and people, should be capitalized: "John", "English Channel".

2. We should use commas to separate the items in a list: "shirts, pants, socks, and shoes."

3. Irregular verbs have their own past form: swim - swam ("swimmed" does not exist)

4. We should try to maintain the same verb tense when the passage talks of actions that happened in the same period of time: need / hope; wagged / looked

5. Some words sound the same but are spelled differently. That is the case with "passed", which is a verb, and "past" which can be a noun or an adjective.  That is also the case with "bye" and "buy". We must select the correct one to convey the proper meaning.

6. "Enuf" is a spelling that may be used in very informal conversation - texting with friends, for example. The correct spelling is "enough".

7. In number 2, there is a question mark where there is no question. It should be dropped and replaced with a period.
