LADY MACBETH! BE PROPHECY READY THIS YEAR WITH THIS WISH LIST THAT AMAZON'S PROMOTIONAL TEAM HAS PUT TOGETHER FOR YOU!!!
  (The following wish list has direct links to amazon.com imbedded...)

  1. Knife - the prophecy - Look no further than Poshland craftsmen for your custom, handmade Damascus Steel Dagger Knife! With an extremely sharp edge, black jean micarta handle, intricate blade pattern, and a quality design to last forever, this is a dagger fit for a KING! The dagger is crafted with a hollow grind edge that cuts deep and ensures inability to stitch up and heal from the wound. There will be no coming back from these cuts for King Duncan! This will ensure your position as Queen of Scotland within the seconds it takes for Duncan to die, how does that sound Mrs. Macbeth?!
  2. Emerald Necklace  - “Fair is foul and foul is fair” → Appearance vs. reality, hiding behind masks - Make them all think that you are an innocent flower, when you are in fact the fierce serpent underneath!! No one will suspect your true intentions and their underestimation of you will be bliss! Now is your time to buy the most sought after jewelry in the kingdom by all maidens. The gems are sourced directly from mines and manufacturers. The exceptional craftsmanship ensures that every jewelry piece will last for years and years to come. Wear this necklace with your finest green royal dress and once you have carried out your prophecy, everyone will be looking to you saying Yaaas Queen!
  3. Floor cleaner - blood - After you have murdered King Duncan, there will be quite a mess for you to clean up! be sure that you use this ultra stain fighting formula that works on all surfaces. It is your best chance at not being deemed a suspect of his majesty's murder!
  4. Crucifix - supernatural - While you are performing your ritual to the demons in order for them to give you the strength you need to carry out your tasks, bring this crucifix along with you! This is one of the only ways to ensure that you will not be possessed by one of the demons. If you are selling your soul, you need to be sure to protect its vessel! The soul may be ready to be given, but not your body... you need that for now!
  5. Chalices -  ambition and masculinity - in order for you to fulfill your destiny, you must be sure to make the manly soldiers at your dinner party lose their inhibitions. Men find it very masculine to be able to outdrink each other without becoming incoherent, so in order to trick them into getting TOO drunk, make them challenge each other!! Buy these gorgeous Celtic chalices, and pair them with the strongest of wines you have in your cellar, and King Duncan's men will be out like a light in order for you to do the deed and gain the power which you most desire.

    Nice Blog Post! I find this really neat. I Like the structure of the blog post it looks like an actual email from amazon. I like how you put the relating theme of each item before the explanation which allows me to know beforehand what to be looking for. This is really creative I would've never came up with such deep-detailed blog post. Again, awesome blog post!

    Hey Shea I really enjoyed this blog post! You made a very good connection to all your amazon items, which really showed Lady Macbeth's character. Some of these items I wouldn't have thought of, but they were chosen really well! I also like how you chose an item for each theme we looked at, it showed your knowledge and understanding of her character well. Good job!

Analyzing "The Dark Side of Storytelling"

" The Dark Side of Storytelling" by Suzanne Duncan Summary of the Talk: The main idea of the Ted Talk was that overtime our stories are negatively impacting us. Suzanne is a story skeptic. She explains what happens when our "protective imagination drives a false narrative." She states that "sometimes, the everyday stories we tell ourselves - and how we think about our roles in those stories - can do more harm than good." She supports this argument with the following ideas: 1. A cause of this is attribution bias within a story. -  In psychology,  An attribution bias is a cognitive ( thought) bias that refers to the systematic errors that a person makes when they try to find reasons for their own behaviors and motivations as well as the behaviors and motivations of others.   - "A bias like this, armed with a powerful story, is like a bias on crack." - Duncan - Duncan states that when she surveyed others about their financial successe

Sinful Victoria's Secret

"BODY by Victoria. All you see is curves." ( BODY by Victoria. )      This advertisment is an image by Victoria's Secret promoting their lingerie line "Body". On the surface level, this image shows a slender, attractive woman wearing nothing but a black bra and panties on her knees in front of a black backdrop with the word "Body" in all capitals and bold next to her. The text then continues to say "All you can see is curves". This line serves to bring attention to the woman's figure. This advertisment is targeted at women and men. Women, in order to sell the product and men in order to motivate them to either buy their significant other the product or to encourage her to get it "for him" if you know what I mean...             This ad is meant to inspire the sin of envy in women and lust in men.       Envy is necessary in women to make this ad relevant because the goal is to make them want to "look   like

And why has she, or any other, curled hair? Why, in defiance of every precept and principle of this house, does she conform to the world so openly—here in an evangelical, charitable establishment—as to wear her hair one mass of curls?” “Naturally! Yes, but we are not to conform to nature; I wish these girls to be the children of Grace: and why that abundance? I have again and again intimated that I
