Unfortunately, there is no method in validating one's genuine good-hearted nature. The only way humans can interpret emotion is solely through what we see on the outside. However, the face is not a true index of the mind. In other words, there is no sure way in interpreting one's character just by looking at one's face. Some people are better at hiding their intentions from their face than others, but all in all, there exists that uncertainty of one's outside appearance and inside thought process and motivation.]]> 2016-11-05 21:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/135570578 ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137143845 2016-11-12 17:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137143845 Don't Be Scared ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137143890 From this photograph, one can immediately be intimidated by her facial expression. Similar to Macbeth, she possesses her own agenda that cannot be read from it. In stark contrast from her facial expression, Blair Waldorf (pictured below) is actually planning a charity gala, not plotting revenge on an old enemy.]]> 2016-11-12 17:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137143890 Judge a Book by Its Cover ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137144014 A well known idiom among all, one cannot judge a book by its cover, because its looks may be deceptive. A character who demonstrates this is Lady Macbeth, whose beauty is a facade for what deception lies underneath.]]> 2016-11-12 17:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137144014 Too Good to Be True ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137144370 Human deception can take place in the form of materialistic gains. Scams, for example, have rapidly taken over the Internet, as well as innocent lives who fall for them. Scams represent the dishonest and selfish means to obtain money and goods from vulnerable people. It also relates the need and desire of the human nature to feel satisfaction from successfully swindling someone. Similarly, Lady Macbeth found satisfaction in manipulating Macbeth into killing Duncan and fed her need for power.]]> 2016-11-12 17:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137144370 Hotel California ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137144550 On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

*Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here

**Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
'Please bring me my wine
He said, "we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say"

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis

***Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

****Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man
'We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave!

In stark contrast to the assumptions, it is not as glamorous as thought before. It is a prison that lures its inhabitants into a world of negative influence.

**A play on words, this line describes how saturated people are with wealth, that it is twisted (bends)

***Mirrors on the ceiling and the pink champagne is considered the "cover of the book". It hides the dark secret behind the music industry and the world that fame leads to

****The man realizes that the world Hollywood and LA provide is not as desirable as seen from the outside. In fact, he is trying to escape it.
"You can check out any time you life But you can never leave" represents the hold that Hollywood life will have on you, even if you return to the world of self actualization]]> 2016-11-12 17:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137145440 Can't Trust Anybody ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137146872 Behind that sweet face and voice, Taylor Swift represents the "snake" (animal of deception) among her own family and friends. Swift has been known for playing the victim and suing those who have crossed her, even if they helped her in her career, for example, her own guitar teacher. Similarly, Macbeth murdered his own friend Banquo, out of fear that his sons with succeed Macbeth.]]> 2016-11-12 18:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137146872 False Advertising ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137147451 Ads are the most accessible kind of deception that is practiced today. Through its visual means, it is easy to trick the viewer with its aesthetically pleasing features with heavy lighting and photoshop, which lures viewers to purchase the burger to later be disappointed.]]> 2016-11-12 18:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137147451 Looking Inward ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137149382 Ultimately, what defines a person is not what is seen from the outside, but what is inside their heart, even though it is difficult to see. In the play, Macbeth often refers to God, and how God is always judging him. The Lord Himself does not judge from appearance, but looks and judges on the heart.]]> 2016-11-12 18:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137149382 President and Presidential Elect ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137149608 On Tuesday, 11/8, Donald Trump won the presidential election against favored candidate Hillary Clinton. Some experienced outrage, for others, victory. For President Obama, it is difficult to tell how he feels, as appearances can fool the eyes. Nonetheless, Obama kept calm and professional demeanor.]]> 2016-11-12 19:02:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137149608 Two Faced ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137149851 Many people experience throughout the course of life people who have crossed them, and do not owe up to their actions. It is difficult to discover as their face does not reveal the true intentions that lay behind it. An example of this is Macbeth who murders his only friend Banquo in order to ensure he keeps the crown.]]> 2016-11-12 19:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137149851 Final Reaction ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137158822 The importance behind this quote is simple: you cannot trust anybody. A look of endearment isn't enough to determine the intentions that lie behind the smile. Shakespeare taught us that the true value of a person is what is in their heart and to always exercise our caution when we want to put out trust into them.
Today, the world is filled with deceitful individuals. While there is no one way to determine that they are out to harm us by just giving them a look, it is in our best interest to look out for ourselves and exercise our fair judgment.]]> 2016-11-12 23:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137158822 Quote in Conversation ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137229915 2016-11-13 21:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137229915 Quote in Conversation 1 ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137230103 One of my peers understood the quote, but thought it was a joke.]]> 2016-11-13 21:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137230103 Quote in Conversation 2 ngmichelle52 https://padlet.com/ngmichelle52/evr9tvvjb332/wish/137230349 My mom asked me how the outcome of the election was possible.
