How does Shakespeare present Macbeth’s deteriorating state of mind? 

deteriorate- gets worse

She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

the context is there is a war outside. his wife has just died and questions the points of life.

and in Macbeth’s soliloquy “she should have died hereafter” states that he wanted and wished that she should have died after seeing her as he needed her, but in the sentence Macbeth is also trying to state that she would have died anyway as it says “to-morrow, to-morrow” also states that Macbeth knew that the news of his wife’s death was bound to come anyway , and then Macbeth’s says from lines “life’s but a walking…” to the last lines “… signifying nothing” the soliloquy there also shows that Macbeth feels lonely now that he describes that “it is a tale told by an idiot” referring to life being told as a story by an idiot.Metaphors used like “life is a walking shadow” defines Macbeth saying that life is too short and with knowing the death of his wife and the news of it, Shakespeare makes us the readers and audience realize that Macbeth is trying to saying that you never know when life ends, the sentence (metaphor) also shows us that there is no point of life. Shakespeare also uses iambic pentameter in the last two sentences of the passage to make the reader realize the suspense of disbelief and how Macbeth’s mind deteriorating.

Macebeths state of mind worsens as the last lines say 

“Hear it not duncan, for it is a knell that summons thee heaven to hell”

so what is trying to say in this it shows that Macbeths state of mind the worse that could happen to him and the soliloquy is showing this because it talks of heaven or hell when the sentence says “summons thee heaven to hell” and he thinks that because of how he killed Duncan. As it says hear it not Duncan

Sergeant
Doubtful it stood;
As two spent swimmers, that do cling together
And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald–”

The lines quoted by the sergant in Act 1 Scene 2 resemble Metaphor and to translate the real defintion in today’s English is basically. The overall battle was uncertain the two armies resembled two tired swimmers holding one another and choke their art is the line talking about how tired they were

Then
Ecuador 2015

Then i remember taking the first picture of the city on the virgin Mary statute. the statue itself glancing at the city lights. Being inside seemed made me feel so small the inside was damp almost as if it was a museum and the sharp eyed portraits of the virgin Mary staring at me as i was walking to the top floor.The Thought of it shaking and trembling because the floor felt unstable, damp and old. The statue was actually on a ball  ( a globe ), the sight of being on top made me feel proud and happy and when looking down at the busy city of Ecuador. Lots of lights shining cross the streets lights catching my eye. Small people working down the hill cars entering the ” museum ” as its called. the old city itself stood out on the dark night of the summer i went.

Now

Ecuador 2016

going back there the next year seemed weird, the sounds of creaking and things falling off as if the statue was going to collapse the sound of the metal scaffolding bashing against the statue with the strong wind outside it seemed impossible to even take a picture. the floor was slippery looking down at the city Quito,Ecuador once again after a year seemed as if there was no change the long line of cars coming in few lights were up than last year. lights shone across the city like beam lights on a platform. The steep hill greener than ever as if it was painted over. it was all too different. the portraits were gone i wasn’t being stared at… It was all so different it was as if it being re decorated. it was if they were making a new Statue. it was if they were making a New city

The school.

as the miserable kid walks into the school the sight of everything dark around him teachers staring at him walking up the staircase late to his first lessons i bunch of kids out of now where rush down passing him next thing he is on the floor, thinking why, the headmaster walks by gives him the eye, the eye everyone knows to go to lesson, or else sanction. Now no one likes sanction especially the headmaster’s ones as well. I got up and ran but it looked a made a fool of my self being scared of the headmaster infront of his teachers his colleagues. So i stopped running before turning the corner into the hallway. I got the most dirtiest stare from the sixth formers when i bumped into them

Paragraph 1 

McDonald only interest is in money and not the health of customers

behind the “smiling” face lies reality, this means there are secrets behind the delicious food.

Paragraph 2

diets of this is linked to heart attacks and cancer also diabetes

workers and employees are people with no career, no qualifications, no training and is an unnatural practise to health leading to BSE & food poisoning

Paragraph 3 

From my perspective the article is biased because it hasn’t been confirmed. This demonstrated facts not been stated before there is no evidence and McDonald s would have lost customers ago.
