This quote caught my eye because it is a paradox. On the surface level it is nonsensical but on a deeper level it is saying so much more than what is written. ]]> 2016-11-13 21:04:50 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137226529 299423 https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137226904 1) I used my quote casually in a conversation, referring to the weather, with my grandmother. She either didn't hear it or chose to ignore it.
2) In class I said the quote in reference to an upcoming test but the student who I was talking to immediately caught on, realizing it was for the project.
3) I used it while I was talking to my brother and he just gave me a weird look and stopped talking to me.]]> 2016-11-13 21:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137226904 299423 https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137236727 1) This quote relates to the recent presidential election. It is fair because all of the stress and debates are finally done. However, it is foul because many Americans are unhappy with the results of the election and have taken to protesting.

2) In local news, the body of a missing boater was found and identified. This relates to the quote because it is fair that his family received closure even though they lost a family member. At least they didn't have to keep searching for him. (http://www.cbs8.com/story/33689219/body-washes-ashore-in-la-jolla)
3) There was a brush fire that consumed around 10 acres of land and shut down Interstate 15 at Gopher Canyon Road. Even though it was a large fire, firemen were able to control it before any injuries or property damage occurred. This story relates to the quote because it takes the good with the bad.

The song is about a man who moved to the United States that misses his true love. Even though he has become fond of the "Tennessee skylines" and "long winding country roads" he still misses his home and his true love, "And my heart still beats for my home and my English rose". This is just like the paradox of "fair and foul" because Ed Sheeran is excited about his new surroundings but can't enjoy it fully because he isn't with his "English rose".]]> 2016-11-13 23:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137238422 299423 https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137239769 The Yin Yang is a perfect example of the quote because it shows the balance of good and evil which mirrors the idea of "fair and foul".]]> 2016-11-13 23:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137239769 299423 https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137239950 This image relates to the quote because it shows the balance between the bad, the storm, and the good, the rainbow that follows.]]> 2016-11-13 23:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137239950 299423 https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137240650 LGBTQ+ protests are a good representation of this quote because they show that even though some people are facing terrible discrimination, they can still create a sense of togetherness and a strong community.]]> 2016-11-14 00:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137240650 299423 https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137241263 This poster exemplifies the theme of "fair and foul" because it encourages people to make the most of what they have, even if it is not ideal.]]> 2016-11-14 00:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137241263 299423 https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137241779 This photograph of soldiers raising a flag during World War II shows the significance of the quote because, even though lives were being lost, the American spirit was still strong as we continued to fight.]]> 2016-11-14 00:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137241779 299423 https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137242251 To me, after completing this project, this quote means that even through the bad, you can still make something good. In the play it conveyed Macbeth's attitude towards the battle he had just fought. Even though they had just won and he was given the title of Thane of Cawdor, many of his fellow soldiers died. However, in the modern day the quote is significant because it represents the idea of taking matters into your own hands and creating a good thing out of what could have been bad.]]> 2016-11-14 00:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/299423/fairandfoul/wish/137242251
