Lady Macbeth's Netflix Queue


My List

The Crown is a series that focuses on Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 25. At the time, the British Empire is in decline and it is her time to take the throne. She is a very confident and powerful woman who reigns with grace and confidence. This is in Lady Macbeth's Netflix queue because she uses Claire Foy, the actress who plays Queen Elizabeth II, as a role model. When she takes the throne this is how she strives to be. 
Pretty Little Liars is a tv series about a group of 5 friends. One summer, one of the girls, Ali, went missing. The other 4, Spencer, Aria, Hanna, and Emily, grew apart but came back together when they started getting mysterious texts from someone by the name of A. A knows all of their secrets; secrets that they only ever told Ali. They try and figure out who A is and why they are blackmailing them. Lady Macbeth finds this show very interesting. Her favorite character is A and she thinks its incredible how A has done so much without getting caught. 
Lady Macbeth loves watching Scandal because she connects with the main character, Olivia Pope, played by Kerry Washington. Olivia Pope is a professional in crisis management. She helps people's problems go away before anyone even knows they exist. Lady Macbeth relates to Olivia because she knows how to make problems go away as well and can put her feelings and 'feminist side' away in order to get the job done.
How To Get Away With Murder is a show about a group of law students who become entangled in a murder plot of a sorority girl. Their professor gets involved as well. Lady Macbeth watches this show because it helps her feel like she's not alone and other people are struggling to cover up their secrets of murder as well. Viola Davis, the actress who plays the professor, is a very powerful woman in real life and in the show. Lady Macbeth loves everything that Viola Davis is in. She especially loves this series because it teaches her how to get away with murder!

What's In a Name?

ELIZABETH PICKERING My name, Elizabeth, is a Greek name from the Hebrew Elisheba. Its meaning is "the oath or fullness of God". In the Old Testament, Elizabeth is the mother of John the Baptist, therefore it is also a Biblical name. Throughout my life, my name has reminded me of my Catholic beliefs and how I should live my life. In this way, my name does define who I am, however, I have chosen to have my name define me. My last name, Pickering, is English. It is from the name of a town in North Yorkshire and was an Old English tribal name, Piceringas. When I think of the times when I am "two", I think of being a student while also being a family member and friend. With these two roles comes a lot of conflict. It is very difficult to make time for friends and family while also trying to stay on top of school work and clubs/activities. I often find myself struggling to complete homework on time because I put more focus on my friends than on my studies. Other ...

Nothing Really Mattress(?): Kafka, Camus, and the Importance of Translation

Translation #1: Gregory Samsa woke from uneasy dreams one morning to find himself changed into a giant bug. Diction:  "Uneasy" has a less intense connotation so his sleep was just somewhat interrupted. "Giant bug" is not scary or frightening, it is just a big bug. "Changed" is a boring word that does not imply that anything magical or mysterious happened. Syntax:  The sentence flows easily and is simple Not difficult to read/understand Imagery/Details: I can imagine him waking up confused and anxious, possibly sweating, from his dreams.  "Giant bug" makes me think of a kid's movie or animation because it does not have any negative or dark words. Structure: Possibly a run-on sentence. No commas Translation #2: When Gregor Samsa awoke from troubled dreams one morning he found he had been transformed in his bed into an enormous bug. Diction: "Troubled" has the connotation that the dreams were upsetting and G...

Wing Young Huie's Work

Image
http://www.wingyounghuie.com/p557435520/e7797101c This photograph was taken by Wing Young Huie and was published to his online gallery on December 5th of 2015. On first examination of this photo, we see two African-American males holding chalkboards with messages on them. The message of the boy on the left reads, "People judge other people before they get to know them". The message of the boy on the right is hard to read and understand; it is not a coherent thought. When looking deeper at the picture, I think the boy on the left is holding this sign because his friend or relative has a disability which causes people to look at him in a certain way. While the boy on the right cannot express his thoughts as clearly as the boy on the left, he should still be treated with respect and be seen as equal. Wing Young Huie and Margaret Atwood express "othering" in different ways. Huie uses imagery to convey the message that people perceive the boy on the ...
