Hey, man, that's great of you to offer your assistance, but how are you sure you read every HS book there is out there? :wink: Do you use some source of information on the 'Net?

lol, ok, mabey not ALL of the HS books out there, but, I bet I have read more books than the average Highschool student. Tonight I am starting the Life of Pi, and during the summer I finished Mere Creation, thats just a taste of my reading skills.

What exactly is an HS book?

And could you give me a general summary of Macbeth by Shakespeare? Preferably split into summaries for each act >_> :-D

Betcha I've read more. :)

By the way, have you read Ender's Game/Shadow? Or The Great Train Robbery by Crichton? Kickbutt books, those.

Oooh, I've read the Ender books (well, the two you mentioned, anyway). I'm a good writer too, but I skipped high school, so I haven't read many high school level books.

Yeah, I played MacBeth in highschool. Ask me anything, it'll be interesting to see how much I remember.

That's what they make Cliffs notes for!

It was a joke, really, considering no one in their right mind reads Macbeth and remembers it. I read Act 2 now anyway.

And now to test Diamond's knowledge:
a) how did Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plan and execute the murder? For a bonus, what nearly went wrong?

Sadly, I haven't gotten any further, I'll keep asking though.

Lady Mac drugs the two grooms; while they're sleeping Mac takes their daggers and stabs the king. Then he wipes all the blood onto them and leaves the daggers there. However, after Mac actually kills Duncan he becomes spacy and takes the daggers with him. Lady Mac yells at him and then takes the daggers back for him.

Nice use of cliffs notes. See, my advice always works! lol Too bad we have no way of testing to see if you actually came up with that yourself...

uggghh.....I hate reading shakespear, love watching it! For some strange reason I keep getting Hamlet and Macbeth mixed up, they both are filled with death, so I think it's pretty easy to get mixed up :? lol Now back to writing my gothic horror story, got one paragraph done! :)

Hehe, I could probly give you a good deal of the lines if you actually wanted that.

But I really hope you don't.

Well... you played it in theatre, I can imagine that they're still in your head. Assuming it wasn't too long ago. I can still recite my lines from the little hobbit from 8th grade! It went something like... "Agh! Agh! The fragon! Runs! Save yourselves!

...

and "Yes, sir!"

I had two roles, both with one line >_<
