Pastoral Blog/Rural Living
I don't mind living in a rural area but sometimes it gets pretty boring. The benefits are that it's pretty safe here and that you know many people. People are friendly here. The drawbacks are that there isn't much to do and people know everything about you. Rumors are easily spread in a rural area. I don't plan to live in a rural area later on in life because I think that there is so much out there to do and to visit. I want to see what is outside of O'Neill, Nebraska.

Macbeth-Macbeth wants power so much that he is willing to kill his cousin to become King. Macbeth feels guilty right away. Macbeth thinks being king is to much work. Power is a very powerful thing and it gets to be to much. Macbeth gets killed and Malcom comes to reign.
