Scruples: Macbeth

1. I would sell my car and let the buyer know that the transmission is going out and that it will need to be changed soon.

2. I would join the war because I would not want to serve time in prison.

3. I wouldn't swap the computer software knowing that it's illegal because I wouldn't want to get in trouble.

4. I would vote anyway because there is probably one political party I like better.

5. Yes, I would give it to them because it is only one dollar and my suspicions maybe wrong.

6. I wouldn't exaggerate the extent of my injuries because the guilt would eat me alive even though having more money would be nice.

7. I wouldn't let the person photocopy my notes because it was their choice to not come to class so they can suffer the consequences.

8. I would leave them because if they are cheating on me it just means that I'm not good enough for them and they want more.

14. I would talk to my friend about it and see what her feelings were about me dating the person and then go from there.

15. I would vote only once because I would feel guilty and plus it could get me into a lot of trouble.

Introduction

I expect this class to have different forms of learning and interesting ways to be taught. I really hope that it is an exciting class that I really do get an education out of.

I want to learn how to be a better writer and how to understand different formats of writing. I also wish to learn different vocabulary to enhance my writing and to make it more interesting. But overall I just want to learn, flat out. When this class is over I just hope that I have learned something knew, no matter what it is.

My strengths in English would be writing and reading, depending on the assignment.
My writing skills are substantial at times, though I believe that I have it in myself to do better. Reading is definitely my high point because there are a lot of things that I understand and I put life into the things that I read.

My weakness would have to be certain punctuation and interest in certain books that we would just so happen to be reading in class. When it comes to some punctuation marks I am lost and confused because I feel that they shouldn't exist. Such as the semi-colon. Now, as much as I love to read there are books that just don't strike my interest and in an English class it tends to happen therefore that is a weakness because I lose interest and just don't care about the book.
