Why The Witches In Macbeth's Vocabulary

Literature is a very good way to increase one’s vocabulary, as many words and adjectives are seldom used in every day conversation. However, there are many quotes and references that are still frequently used today. Playwrights like Shakespeare have contributed many of these quotes. The witches in MacBeth offer a unique perspective to the philosophies of life. They say, “fair is foul, foul is fair” ((Shakespeare_Navigators.com, 2017). This statement could be perceived in several ways. My comparison is to another cliché that says that sometimes when you win, you actually lose, and other times when you lose, you actually win. The nice thing about the subject of literature is that many of the stories, poems, and plays are entertaining in
The story A & P from chapter one was a good reflection into my own past. However, I never thought of quitting a job just to impress a girl (Clugston, 2014).

I got tired of three or four people in the department have to work excessively hard while the rest just sat around and talked including the supervisor. I complained to the supervisor’s boss, and my supervisor found out about our conversation. He threatened to fire me. This was a situation where I should have just quit, but having a little bit of wisdom, I knew I needed to stick it out until I found another. Which, I did, very quickly.

However, he could have gone about it another way that wouldn’t have come across so mean to the girls and upsetting to the
