(Act 5, scene 3, line 43) Macbeth: Hang those that talk of fear. This sums up that anyone on Macbeth's side who is scared and shows it will be killed, specifically hung. So if a soldier fighting is caught trying to flee or is caught giving up that is fighting for Macbeth will be hung. This shows manliness because Macbeth doesnt want any babys or wussy on his team, he wants true soldiers that will fight to the end like he is willing to do.
(Act 5, scene 5, line 11) Macbeth: I have almost forgot the taste of fears. This quote is saying that macbeth has forgotten what it feels like to fear something because he has gone into war to try and kill Macduff. This shows he is manly because he doesnt fear anything meaning he will go up and fight anything in his way. He may die or lose the battle but that doesnt mean he wasnt scared or manly for trying.
(Act 5, scene 3, lines 38-39) Macbeth: I'll fight till from my bones my flesh be hacked. He is saying that he will fight and endure the war until its no longer possible for him to fight anymore, until too many bones are broken or just his overall insides are damaged to an amount where he is dead. This explains he is manly because he wont wimp out and run from a fight but he'll go his hardest and if he dies then he will take the death like a champ.
(Act 5, scene 1, lines 38-41) Lady Macbeth: Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account? She is saying that the lord is a soldier and is afraid? Also that there is no need to be afraid because no one can lay guilt upon them. Lady Macbeth is showing manliness because she isnt afraid of anything happening to them since there is no reason for them to fear.
(Act 5, scene 7, lines 1-2) Macbeth: They have tied me to a stake. I cannot fly, but, bear-like, I must fight the course. He explains how he cannot escape from where he stands but only to fight to survive, fight like a bear. Knowing that he has to fight Macduff either way makes him decide its not worth running. This shows manliness because Macbeth doesnt think of a plan to flee and run from the enemy but he decides that he suck it up, take it like a man to the best of his abilities and hopefully win.

Recurring theme in the odyssey
In the book the Odyssey i believe a reccuring theme is that if you be patient then your faith will pay off. In book 13 odysseus wakes up in a country he doesnt recognize and athena disguised as a young shepard boy informs him that he is indeed on Ithaca. "Ithaca...Heart racing, Odysseus that great exile filled with joy to hear Athena, daughter of storming Zeus, pronounce that name" (pg. 294, lines 283-285). In this example it shows Odysseus has patients because he was vanished from his home for a long time and finally made it back after having faith that he would one day do it.
In book 16 of this book it shows that if you have patients then your faith will pay off because when Telemachus has finally reached home from sailing to hear word about his father he goes to visit Eumeas first and can not believe his eyes."Straight to the prince he rushed and kissed his face and his shining eyes, both hands, as the tears rolled down his cheeks. As a father, brimming with love, welcomes home his darling only son in a warm embrace-what pain he's borne for him and him alone!"(pg. 339, lines 16-21). This shows that Telemachus has patients because he waited for a long time for his father to return home undead, then he went out and searched since he still had faith. When he came back his father was home, proving his patients and faith payed off.
Lastly, in book 22 the theme recurs when the big battle begins. Odysseus, Telemachus, and loyal servants kill all of the suitors, unloyal maids and servants to rethrone their kingdom that was once theres when Odysseus was though to be dead."Then, once they'd washed their own hands and feet, they went inside again to join Odysseus. Their work was done with now"(pg. 454, lines 505-508). In this quote it helps show that the good guys all have patients to put end to the suitors supposively ruling Odysseus's land because they finally waited for the moment they could kill all the bad guys. It all payed off too because now Ithaca has been restored to what it was before but even better because there's no suitors.

The Odyssey
I believe that Telemachus is a hero based character because of the elements of a hero's journey he has like one of them would be call to adventure. He is the only one on the land that thinks his father, Odysseus is alive but everyone else disagrees with him even the wisest people. This is call to adventure because he wants to find his dad although no one else believes he is alive, but the suitors allow him to take a ship and some men to go out and find him. Another reason that makes Telemachus a hero based character is that he stays loyal to dad and his thoughts. His mind is never changed or persuaded that his dad is dead and Odysseus has no chance of surviving. Its loyal because its always stays the same and focuses on finding his dad and having faith he is still alive.
This far into the book Odyyseus is not a hero because he has not completed any of the elements needed to become a hero based character. Like he has only been on Calypso's island just celebrating and having fun all the time while Calypso falls in love with him although he's a mortal. This is not a deed to become what he soon becomes later on in the book. Also he makes no effort to get off Calypso's island or ever talk about ruling his land and being with penolope again. If he were to do this then that would of maybe a small step of becoming what later on does, a hero.

Randy Moss
I believe that Randy Moss is gonna help out the Vikings alot, because of the role he's about to fit in too and also because he is still a great wide reciever. The role that Randy needs to take charge in is leading the wide recievers and giving Brett Favre another open option to pass too. Since Sydney Rice is injured and Percy Harvin is kind of injured too, Randy will really need to step it up and play as if he were still on his peak of his career again. Feeling unwanted at the Patriots should change with the Vikings because he has a spot to fill in and a great Quarterback to throw to him. With Moss still being one of the greatest recievers to play the game should mean his stats can up get much better and his efforts can only help the team to possibly lead them to the playoffs. His stats this year havent been the hottest because his chemistry with the Patriots had faded, but now with Brett as the QB and Adrian as the RB i think this will help Randy play like the great reciever he usually does play like. If Randy Moss can fulfill his roll and play like the best reciever in the league then he is definitly going to help the Vikings and possibly lead them to the Super Bowl.

Lebron James Incident
I believe that people who dont like Lebron James anymore because he left Cleveland should move on because basketballs only a sport which we shouldnt take so seriously, also we should understand the fact that he wants to win the championship which he couldnt do with Cleveland. When people take a game to seriously things can get out of control and just choatic. The city of cleveland took things way out of hand by ripping on Lebron as much as possible. They burned his jerseys, the ripped his banners, and even the manager ripped on him which was not cool to do. There's not much more they possibly could have done to make him feel as bad as he did, fortunatly he was able to move on and start a new franchise of his career with the Miami Heat. Also every season Lebron had with Cleveland they made it to a championship once in the playoffs and got swept. Teams like the Laker and Celtics were to good since they were stacked with the best players in the NBA, so Lebron's team could never beat them in the playoffs. Now that Lebron is with Dwanye Wade and Chris Bosh, he has a very good chance to win the championship multiple times. So people should stop there nonsense about ripping on Lebron and understand what he wants to do with his career and accept that. Sports is not that big of a deal where things should get this serious.

PIES hero blog
Doug Is a very responsible student because in the begining of Blue Diamond it was a saturday night and he wanted to study for a big math test on monday. Quinn wanted to go out but Doug said,"Math midterm on Monday, my parents will be pissed if i dont pull a decent grade." This shows that he cares about getting good grades which makes him responsible since he was studying all of saturday evening. This makes Doug like Luke because he would listen to his uncle and be responsible to do the jobs his unlce had assigned to him everyday.
When Quinn took him to Las Vegas, which Doug didnt know means that this was his call to adventure. Quinn told him he would take him out for dinner but he drove by all the resturants then Doug questioned,"Where is the other Planet hollywood.""Just down the road a bit." Then Doug knew there was no other Planet Hollywood. "Where down the road?" Then Quinn hesitated and finally said,"Las Vegas." This is the call to adeventure because they have to go on a quest which Doug is not to thrilled about. Luke gets the call to adventure when he wants to become a jedi and his guardians died from a fire in his home.
Once Doug finds out that Quinn wants to kill himself in Las Vegas he is faced with tests/ordeals/hero deeds where he has to stop Quinn from pulling the trigger on his life. Doug freaks out at Quinn for using his parents money at Las Vegas,"whats wrong with you? Your parents'll ground you off the face of the earth!" "Yeah, but i wont be on the face of the earth." Doug soon enough gets what he means and realizes he only has so much time before his best friend will kill himself. Luke can relate because at one point he has to excaspe the trash compressor as a tests/ordeals/hero deeds.
