The Consequences of Greed


 Drama is a class that talks about the challenges and norms of gender roles, and how these gender roles can be challenged with the use of theater. 


    In this term of drama, we discussed the roles gender plays in the Shakespeare play, The Tragedy of  Macbeth. I chose to address the character of Lady Macbeth and how she’s forcing the norm of men being cold onto Macbeth which leads him into a path of bitterness and over-confidence. Macbeth leaving her when she needs him most (since she’s going crazy due to her helping him with the murder of King Duncan). So in the end she’ll regret manipulating him to do a heinous action. This Action Project’s goal was to use Shakespeare’s writing style to address how gender roles are portrayed in the play and to give advice to a character if we had the chance. This is my sonnet. 


" The Consequences of Greed "





Lady Macbeth you know thy goal
But do you know the cost 
Wouldst you give up thy soul 
And let thy sanity be lost 


You have the controlment that you need 
But there’s something leading to your doom 
The egregious amount of greed 
Will lead you to insanity and gloom 


The lack of trust in your husband to do it should say enough 
“Thicken my blood and clog up my veins so that I won’t feel remorse” 
The need to manipulate should make you question if you’re being too rough 
Worthlessness will find you if you go down this course 

Anything you do will not make his evil heart adjourn 
But this is the consequences of what you want sworn 

Conclusion

One of the things I enjoyed trying to find my personal definition of what a queen is: because it allowed me to integrate one of my personal hobbies into answering the question. The one thing I enjoyed the most about this project is creating the sonnet because it felt like a game trying to fit the rhyme scheme: and the most difficult part for me was picking which character to address because I’ve had ideas for sonnets that could address multiple characters.

The MOVIE BOT IS ALIVE

 Hi Visitor, In my Intro to Coding class we were asked to make a chat bot, with 5 total questions using booleans and other aspects of coding. Before this project we learned about Boolean meanings and if statements. We learned how to format if statements, elif statements, and how to use if statements in certain situations. After we learned this we proceeded to work on the Action Project. I made a chatbot that'll talk about movies and has a keen liking to Spiderman.   It was my best project so far, but there were some challenges in the way. Like the formatting of having multiple if statements, multiple answers, and the biggest issue was the multiple combinations that could be typed in the movie genre question. Besides those problems the project was a pretty smooth process since I had a clear goal of what I wanted and not having to do as much improvisation.

The Alien Pseudocode

Hi Visitor, For the First Action project in code we were asked to make a pseudocode of a game. Due to this being an introductory project we did a group activity where we got into 2 small groups and one person had to be blindfolded and essentially go through a course based on the directions we as a group chose to write down and say to the blinded partner. This helped us give a sense of how a computer would think since we removed the senses that would give people an intuition to easily go through the small course that was set up. I did my project on the classic game "Space Invaders" and this is my attempt to make a Pseudo code of it.  The hardest part for me was trying to find the right words and breaking down the game to a level where I can find words that I think the computer would understand. I think there would be tons of errors; just to point one for example the bullet code line because I didn't define how a bullet would move towards the alien ships; I just hoped for...
