In Shakespeare’s classic tragedy of Macbeth the main character Macbeth is driven from his status as a well respected warrior and lord of not one, but two Scottish regions to a dishonest, unloyal murderer. Macbeth gets caught in a web of lies and vile acts of murder in which he brings about his own demise. His criminal actions lead up to his tragic ending of life. ‘ They have tied me to a stake; I cannot fly, But bearlike I must fight the course.’ His great ambition and gullibility of the witches predictions are two of the biggest factors of his downfall;however, Lady Macbeth was probably the biggest influence in the whole tragedy.

William Shakespeare’s Macbeth has always been considered one of the literary worlds most celebrated tragedies. It is arguably the darkest and most gruesome of his plays. The protagonist, Macbeth, is the poster child for tragic hero, “a literary character who makes an error of judgment or has a fatal flaw that, combined with fate and external forces, brings on a tragedy” (www.dictionary.com). And until recently we were satisfied with that… At the Cannes Film Festival in 2001, a low budget comedy was unveiled. It was called Scotland, PA.

Both the Scottish Parliament and Visit Scotland show two different images of modern Scotland. The parliament appeals to the Scottish people and try to improve the Scottish economy.

Within the United Kingdom, a recurring issue has been raised regarding the political position of Scotland and how the Scottish Parliament could better govern the country. To establish whether the quality of life could be improved for the Scottish people, key events, devolution, and the Scottish Parliament must be evaluated and analysed.

Forest Hills Northern is an extremely diverse school. I consider myself lucky for being able to participate in activities such as our international fair, where students can open a booth for their home country and educate other students about their local culture and cuisine. I'm a strong believer in the idea that diversity is essential to having a good educational experience. I'm specifically seeking out schools that share my same ideals. I've also sought cultural experiences outside of traditional classwork. Last summer I took a backpacking course through the National Outdoor Leadership School in Washington. I met people from all over the country; some came from as far as California or Rhode Island. When you spend thirty days in the wilderness
