How far do I agree with: “Lady Macbeth’s criminal mind and desire for ruthlessness have led many a critic to define her as evil. Closer examination have revealed her to be multifaceted”

I do slightly agree, as there are several places in the book where she changes attitude, either being with her own thoughts or interacting with others. She is a big driving force for the killing of King Duncan, it is most unlikely that Macbeth would not have become king if it were not for her persuading him t0 commit the killing. This makes Lady Macbeth seem like a ruthless and unapologetic person, but with high ambition. She knows his husband well, she also knows that Macbeth would be reluctant to do the killing, so she manipulated him into committing the killing. Lady Macbeth tried to hold it together, acting as “usual” on the outside but on her own, she wasn’t like that, thinking of things that relate back to the decision of killing Macbeth. Her conscience ultimately succumbs her as closer to the end of the book, it becomes obvious that her mental state was decreasing, as one of the servants thought when they observed her sleepwalking. The doctor observing heard her mention “what, will these hand ne’re be clean?” This was possible foreshadowing to the fact that her life wasn’t ever going to go uphill, and all the events that are going to take place will take a toll not just on her but for everyone in the book too.

After the ReCycle Race

The Whole Service down at the Bus Bay

ReCycle was one of the most unique services that have ever existed at the school, it being that it is held down at DT, and using all the skills with it. Taking old and abandoned bikes and making them into ridable conditions, we rewarded ourselves by racing them at the bus bay (obviously our group [Me and Johanna] won the two races). Our trusty Leeuwin III made it is one shape.

My Personal Statement

This year I was told to make goals, whether personal or academical. Thinking about this, I thought about the future, as to what I could be doing. What would I be when I grow up? How would I want to be? A career is something a person must focus on for the rest of their lives, meaning that whatever a person chooses to do, they have to be motivated and be enthusiastic about what they do. My goal in the future is to be a commercial pilot based in the EU. This could take a toll on my physical and mental wellbeing, but it’s better than being stuck in an office, not liking anything you are doing.

Why am I so heart-set on becoming a pilot? Younger, I used to like watching planes take off and land from the lounge windows, sometimes it would be what I’d look at for hours on end. There was something there, I just didn’t know what that fascinated me about flying, the feeling of it and knowing that you are zooming above the surface of the earth at speeds well over 800 km/h. I asked a friend of mine to give me his copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator X, and since that day I would say is when I really started to enjoy flying. On the weekends and even during the weekdays, I would spend hours upon hours on end doing short or long hops from city to city just for the fun of it. I loved being in control, having all the responsibility on me and making such a system work, it just suited me. Nowadays, I even spent my own money on a plane (A319) for X-Plane 11, even joining Easyjet Virtual Airline which further incentivized me to fly and making me feel part of a community.

To get to the point where I will be flying commercially will take a long time. Not everyone can become a pilot just like that. There are licences, exams, and type ratings which a person has to go get or go through, and all of this can add up in cost, going all the way from $150,000 all the way up to $230,000, and that is what a person could be paying for university. I’ll have to first pass through NS before then going into whatever I want, but hopefully, if time and money allow, I’ll be able to go to a flight academy and get to wherever I want to be in life.

For now, I need to keep my head down and do all my studies, but hopefully, in the future, there will be a chance to do what I truly want to do. Even if doesn’t go as planned, there are many career paths to pick from, and maybe, just maybe I could be better off doing something else.
