Two Statements

1. Who we are--our essential character and temperament--is fixed and unchangeable.
              I disagree with this statement because things can change people, traumatic events or gradual changes in a person's interests. All people have a natural character and temperament, but what if they experienced something terrible like a parent dying or being scarred by the experience of battle? Then they might change.
2. Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person.
               I agree with this statement to an extent. I do believe that being ambitious is a good trait since it allows a person to reach the goals they've set for themselves. But in a case like Macbeth's, his ambition might take him too far in order for him to get to his goal.

  1. I agree with your comments about ambition. I believe ambition is a great thing to have in life, but at a certain extent it can turn into an obsession.
