I had a very fun and relaxing Easter break. I did stay at home but still was able to have a ton of fun. For the first couple of days I laid low and rested. On Easter day however I went to my Grandfather's church and watched him play his guitar in the service. After the church service my family and I went back to my house to have a small Easter party. We ate cake and had an easter-egg hunt for the little children. That day was very exhausting and wore me out. However I still pushed onward.
If I could say two words that described the main part of the break it would be TRACK PRACTICE. Since I stayed at home and didn't go anywhere special for the break my parents made me go to track practice. Every day we either had practice at 10-12pm or 3-5pm. Practice was very hot but a lot of fun. Seeing my friends made my break better. Later on that week I began to work on my World History project that was on the historical fiction book that I read. I created a movie poster, a script, and typed a two page summary for the book. The work wasn't the best part of my break but was productive. Finally I got my hair highlighted at the end of the break for the first time ever. I thought the lady did a very nice job and love my newly colored hair. Overall I think I could say that I had a fun Easter break.

Statement Assessment
Who we are--our essential character and temperament--is fixed and unchangeable.
I think this can be untrue in someways. The way people are brought up, what environment the person lives in, and their personality all affect who they are. However all of those can change. We can change our attitudes, where we are brought up and how we are brought up in several ways. Nothing is permanent and people can always change who they are. Macbeth is choosing to change who his is by choosing to be king. He is going to completely change his loving side and inject violence instead. This is what is going to change who Macbeth is.
Women are more compassionate and less violent than men.
I disagree with this strongly. Women can be just as violent as men and can also be a lot less compassionate. Example number one, Daisy from The Great Gadspy, who shows a lack of compassion. Example number two, Lady Macbeth from Macbeth, who shows tons of thoughts for violence. Lady Macbeth wants to kill the king no matter what. She doesn't care if her husband chickens out because she will do it herself. She shows a snack for violence and wishes to use it. I also think that this quote disagrees with me as a person as well. Sometimes when I am aggravated I want to result to violence, however I keep the thoughts to myself. It would be a very unwise decision to act upon bad thoughts.
