The quote "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." now holds a connotation of evil that has been manipulated and has yet to reach its full potential. The witches created the wicked Macbeth, and they rejoice in his evil, and are therefore delighted when he voluntarily visits them for aid. This is significant to the scheme of the plot because it shows that Macbeth has truly given into the darkness and the evil and has accepted his nature and his fate. This quote is also important because it shows how much influence the witches have over Macbeth and how they have manipulated him to provoke him to commit wrong. The significance of this quote to me is that it shows how most of the bad things that come our way are of our own creation, as the witches created a wicked Macbeth that came back to them, my wrongdoing would come back to haunt me later in my life.

President Trump addressed the tragedy of the mass Texas shooting that lest 26 innocent people dead, and 20 more wounded by saying that, "Instead of having 26 dead, he would've had hundreds more dead..." if there had been stricter gun regulations. President Trump labeled the mass shooting as a Mental Health Issue, rather than a gun issue. Trump's lack of awareness of the violence that plagues the United States and his refusal to acknowledge the topic of gun regulations and provide support for people with Mental Health have led to outrage in many American citizens. This tragedy, and trump's reaction, relate to the quote "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." in that Trump's reluctance to acknowledge the true issues haunting our nation give signal that something evil is going to happen, and is going to continue to happen until a change takes place.

President Trump said that even with tighter vetting of gun buyers, "there would have been no difference" for those killed in the mass shooting at a South Texas church on Sunday.

Trump made the comments during a news conference in Seoul with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in response to a question about why his promised "extreme vetting" for visa applicants shouldn't also be applied to gun purchases.

"If you did what you're suggesting, there would have been no difference three days ago, and you might not have had that very brave person who happened to have a gun in his truck and shoot him, and hit him and neutralize him," Trump said, referring to a neighbor who chased down the gunman.

"Instead of having 26 dead, he would've had hundreds more dead," he said.

Trump seemed to chafe at being asked about gun policy so soon after the deadly rampage that killed 26 people on Sunday and appeared annoyed the topic was brought up while he was in South Korea building tougher measures against the North Korean nuclear program.

Trump pointed to the high murder rate in Chicago, which has limits on gun sales, as an example of why vetting gun purchases might not prevent shootings. Chicago is "a disaster, a total disaster," Trump said.

While with my friends at the Steele Canyon versus Valhalla football game, held at Steele Canyon high school, I decided that I would recite my quote. When Steele Canyon had begun to beat us by a large sum, and the spirits of the spirit section had died because of our imminent loss, Steele canyon got the ball and began to run it downfield. At this time, I recited my quote to my friends. They preceded to completely ignore that I had said the quote, and just interpreted it as normal conversation and did not reply to me.

Boy Scouts welcoming Girl Scouts into their ranks

# data[].attributes.body
The Boy Scout organization has recently decided to allow girls into their troops, after claiming to have years of many requests from families and girls. However, this decision creates friction with the Girl Scout organization, which believes that, "...only Girl Scouts has the expertise to give girls and young women the tools they need for success,". The tension between the two, both very influential, organizations can and may lead to something that will result with both parties upset in the end. This dilemma relates to the quote in that the bad blood between the two organizations, as both have a "pricking in [their] thumbs", or a premonition, that "something wicked" is coming. These similarities are significant because they demonstrate how although Macbeth was written decades ago, many of its themes still relate to modern life.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 107-year-old organization announced Wednesday that younger girls will be allowed to join Cub Scouts and that older girls will be eligible to earn the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout.

"The historic decision comes after years of receiving requests from families and girls," Boy Scouts of America said in a statement. The group said it considered input from current members and leaders before making the decision.

BSA said the expansion is also aimed at helping busy families consolidate programs for their children.

"Families today are busier and more diverse than ever. Most are dual-earners and there are more single-parent households than ever before, making convenient programs that serve the whole family more appealing," the BSA statement said.

The announcement drew praise from scouting leaders, mixed reactions from women's groups and indirect criticism from Girl Scouts USA.

Friction with Girl Scouts

For months, Girl Scouts USA had a notion BSA would try to start recruiting girls. In August, Buzzfeed News obtained a strongly worded letter in which GSUSA President Kathy Hopinkah Hannan accused the BSA of courting girls to boost falling enrollment numbers.

It's also no secret that BSA membership has been declining for years. In 2016, the organization reported 2.3 million youth members, a decrease from 2.8 million in 2012. The Boy Scouts' membership peaked in 1972, with 6.5 million members.

On Wednesday, Girl Scouts responded to the BSA's announcement without explicitly naming the Boy Scouts.

"The need for female leadership has never been clearer or more urgent than it is today -- and only Girl Scouts has the expertise to give girls and young women the tools they need for success," Girl Scouts USA said.

"The benefit of the single-gender environment has been well-documented by educators, scholars, other girl- and youth-serving organizations, and Girl Scouts and their families. Girl Scouts offers a one-of-a-kind experience for girls with a program tailored specifically to their unique developmental needs."

'The future is bright'

But scouting leaders lauded the expansion, which will begin in 2018.

Zach Wahls, co-founder of the nonprofit Scouts for Equality, said the development was "yet another step forward," for the Boy Scouts.

"Today, the Boy Scouts have made clear they have heard the millions of girls and their families and will allow Scouts of all genders to participate as full members and earn the rank of Eagle," Wahls, an Eagle Scout, said in a statement Wednesday.

"We are proud of the Boy Scouts of America for taking this step forward, and we believe the future is bright for Scouting in America."

Ahmad Alhendawi, the Secretary-General and CEO of World Scouting, tweeted: " "I welcome @boyscouts decision to integrate girls in their programs. On #DayOfTheGirl, we affirm #Scouting commitment to girls empowerment."

The National Organization for Women had a mixed response to the Boy Scouts' announcement.

"I think it's a good thing in that the Boy Scouts have a long history of discrimination and they are taking action," NOW President Toni Van Pelt said. "The devil is in the details and we need to wait and see how this plays out."

The news also received mixed reactions on social media, with some critics calling the move unnecessary and "PC."

Donald Trump Jr. also weighed in, saying, "Strange, I thought that's what the Girl Scouts was for???."

The National Catholic Committee on Scouting, whose stated mission is to ensure the Boy Scouts "as a viable form of youth ministry with the Catholic youth of our nation," said it has accepted the BSA's decision but did not offer a formal opinion.

"Once we have had more time to review the policy and a chance to consult our national membership, we will be able to comment further about how this new policy will reflect changes in the makeup of Catholic chartered units in the Boy Scouts of America," the committee said in a statement.

A new prestigious goal for girls

The decision to allow girls to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout is significant for several reasons.

The rank of Eagle Scout is a prestigious and widely recognized achievement, one that can have long-term benefits in academic, professional and even military spheres. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Neil Armstrong and Former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates are just a few notable men who have attained the rank of Eagle Scout.

While there is a rough equivalent in the Girl Scouts -- the Gold Award -- the honor is not nearly as well-known as the Eagle Scout distinction.

The Boy Scouts' announcement fell on the International Day of the Girl, designated by the United Nations in 2012 as a day to discuss and celebrate equal opportunities for young women around the globe.

President Trump addressed North Korea's insistent nuclear weapon testing and increased aggressiveness while touring South East Asia. The United States and North Korea have been neck to neck for some time now as North Korea refuses to end nuclear weapon testing, and the United States worries that with radical leadership and nuclear weapons there will be much tragedy. However, President Trump does not approach the situation delicately, and rather makes very strong comments such as , "Do not underestimate us. Do not try us.", that might lead to enraging North Korea. The article writes that, "...Park added that he was hoping to hear more about improving communication between South Korea and the US, saying he was worried about the US acting unilaterally in dealing with North Korea." Many people are worried that if Trump continues to make strong threats and insults against North Korea, the United States would be looking at Nuclear War. This connects to the quote as Trump's actions create a "pricking in my thumbs" that something "wicked this way comes", the "something wicked", or course, being nuclear war.

Donald Trump has delivered a stark personal message to Kim Jong-un saying that unless he gives up his nuclear ambitions North Korea will face disaster.

Speaking in front of lawmakers at South Korea's National Assembly, the US president offered up a "brighter path" if the country abandoned its weapons programme, leaving the door open to diplomacy, but also warned the US was prepared to use military might if necessary.

"The weapons that you are acquiring are not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger," Trump said. "Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face."

Speaking directly to Kim, Trump said that "despite every crime you have committed against God and man", the US was prepared to resolve the crisis diplomatically.

"We will offer a path to a much better future," he said. "It begins with an end to the aggression of your regime, a stop to your development of ballistic missiles and complete verifiable and total denuclearisation."

But Trump also offered harsh words to North Korea, warning the regime: "Do not underestimate us. Do not try us".

He said the US would not tolerate threats to American cities and that the US "would not be intimidated."

Addressing Kim directly, Trump said: "North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned, it is a hell that no person deserves."

North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned, it is a hell that no person deserves

Trump gave a blistering assessment of life inside the reclusive dictatorship, highlighting a host of human rights abuses including forced labour, arbitrary detentions and famine.

"It's good that he didn't make any comments that will enrage North Korea," said Park Ju-min, a lawmaker who attended the speech. "Of course North Korea will feel offended because of Trump's focus on human rights abuses, but he did not make any specific threats against Kim."

"I was hoping to hear more about improving communication between South Korea and the US," Park added, saying he was worried about the US acting unilaterally in dealing with North Korea.

Trump said the world would not tolerate "the menace of a rogue regime" and further nuclear provocations. He also called on China and Russia to help resolve the nuclear crisis by downgrading diplomatic relations with Pyongyang and severing all trade ties.

China is the North's most important diplomatic ally and largest trading partner and Trump has long said Beijing holds the key to controlling Kim's regime. Trump will be flying to Beijing later to meet with president Xi Jinping.

"It is our responsibility and our duty to confront this danger together," Trump said. "The longer we wait the great the danger grows and the fewer the options become."

Before the speech, Trump was forced to abandon a surprise visit to the demilitarised zone separating South and North Korea. A heavy fog prevented the president's helicopter from landing on a trip that was meant to show support for American allies in the region and has been a tradition of past US presidents.

Lawmakers who were in the room for Trump's speech were generally positive on the tone, saying they were relieved he did not use the opportunity to launch personal attacks against Kim.

"He had some tough words but the real message is that there is a path to peace through dialogue," said Min Pyung-doo, a lawmaker in the ruling Democratic party. "He reassured us and the world that the alliance with South Korea is strong and that will go a long way to calming the people's fears here."

Trump has struck a more conciliatory tone during his two days in South Korea, placing more emphasis on diplomatic efforts compared to military solutions. He said there was "progress" in resolving the North Korean nuclear crisis during a press conference on Tuesday, but declined to give details.

But the same day, North Korea showed little sign of giving up its nuclear programme. A commentary in the mouthpiece of the ruling Workers party said "we will further bolster our nuclear, treasured sword of justice" if the US continues its "hostile acts".

The second time I causally used my quote in a conversation was while I was walking down the street with my brother and his friend, on a visit to him in college in Oregon. The three of us were  strolling down the street, discussing their busy and exhausting coming week in school and my return to school when I recited my line. Both my brother, Sean, and his friend, Matt, stopped talking and looked at me like I was extremely weird, then Matt said, "Ummm Okay...", and they continued their causal conversation without bringing up my odd interjection again.

This is when I decided to incorporate my quote into the conversation. After I had recited it, my mother looked at me sideways and questioned, "What?". However, my father recognized the reference to Macbeth, and laughed with me, while my mother stood there still looking confused.

"It's strange what desire will make foolish people do,
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you... What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way, What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you.."

The song "Wicked Game", sung by James Vincent McMorrow, heavily relates to the plot of Macbeth, and the infamous Second witch's line "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes". The witches have shaped Macbeth into their very own wicked creature, and are ecstatic when he comes to see them voluntarily and for help. The witches refer to Macbeth as the "wicked" thing that is coming when the witch feels a tingling in her fingers, which relates to the song on the lines "What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way, What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you". Macbeth has now become dependent on the witches for advice and for reassurance of his invulnerability, and they have thus played a wicked game with him and shaped him into a sinister tyrant. The line of the song "It's strange what desire will make foolish people do..." relates to Macbeth's continual visits and dependence on the witches. The second witch senses that something wicked is coming by a sensation in her thumbs, and that wicked thing is Macbeth, who is driven to the witches out of his desire for power and his own foolishness.

My initial reaction to this quote was a sense of foreboding evil. The second of the three witches utters this quote moments before they are visited by Macbeth, who is seeking reassurance for his stolen and bloody throne. The context of the scene, and the nature of the quote, created a very evil and dark connotation. I chose this quote because the entire play centers around the nature of evil, and the looming doom that Macbeth faces since he was prophesied to be king, and slayed Duncan in his sleep.
