I need some help with this question on Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Just a basic answer would be best, I can elaborate. Choose an event from the play. Focus on the purpose it serves in the story. Consider how the story would change if that event was altered. Form your ideas into a paragraph of at least five sentences. Make sure to include supporting evidence from the play.

Some events to consider:

The weird sisters' predictions for Macbeth and Banquo
Macbeth's murder of Banquo
The appearance of Banquo's ghost at Macbeth's coronation dinner

Your answer must cite directly from the lines of Macbeth that you read in the lesson.

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

.

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.

main idea: it is important to prepare today for the needs of tomorrow.

the grasshopper was dying due to hunger, and this was because he didn't prepare for the winter.

the ants told the grasshopper, "if you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."

the ants were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime.
