How much power is too much power?

It is proven that with power comes responsibility. Some only commit positive actions while in power, but others only think that because of their reputation they would be able to get away with it. Governor Spitzer is a prime and perfect candidate, for he took advantage of his power as Governor. Without thinking of his family, his position in the country, or his reputation as an American, he hired prostitutes, cheating on his wife and taking illegal actions. This forced him out of being Governor as well as publicly humiliating him. Spitzer (click here to see more about Spitzer’s case!),.did this to himself because the idea of having authority got to his head. The reason for him doing this is not justifiable. He had a wife and a family, yet he still destroyed everything he worked hard for. Spitzer thought he would get away with it, but obviously he was mistaken.
Spitzer’s power got to his head, and the Three Witch’s words got to Macbeth, causing him to kill someone whom he trusted. He had a friendship with the king, but just a few uprising words got to his head in a negative way, leading to Macbeth murdering King Dunkin. Macbeth would never have considered killing his friend forpower (click here to see more about Macbeth’s rise for power!),. until he got the idea that he could. Since Macbeth already does have a high social standing, he probably thinks he is capable of getting away with it. I am unaware of telling you he got away with it or not yet because I haven’t read the book, but when I get to that point I will note back to this response. Just like Spitzer’s reasoning was not justifiable; neither is Macbeths, although I can see how he would think it was. He had reason because he wanted power, but this just proves that he has no morals.

Introductions in my opinion....

When reading a book or watching a movie, first impressions are KEY. It is so important for the first scene of a play, book, or a movie to grab its audience’s attention. Without the great first impression, the reader wouldn’t continue reading or watching. For example, when authors go to the future for their intro, it gives the reader something to look forward to.
A perfect example of this is The Catcher in the Rye (click here to see others!),. The first chapter told how he was in rehab, but it didn’t tell us how he got there; that was what the rest of the book did. Introductions are not meant to give away the entire story, but, in some cases, to hint what will happen in the future. This technique of having a great introduction is exactly what J.D Salinger did while writing The Catcher In The Rye. He was able to give just enough information to grasp onto the readers attention without giving away too much.
Introductions also should give themes. Just from reading the first few pages of The Catcher in the Rye, a major theme of the plot was identified. This theme was healing. He starts in a rehabilitation center, so clearly Holden, the main character, was making an attempt to heal. William Shakespeare has a strong, but different way of introducing his play, Macbeth. He also reveals major themes in the first act, but he does not exactly go to the future.
Shakespeare hints what will happen in the future when the three witches hailed to
Macbeth, but it does not start in the future. Instead, he had the three witches approach him and call him the name he has, as well as the two names he will soon be honored with.

Within the first minutes of Macbeth, it was clear that the theme (click here to see others!), would be something revolving around power. This is proven when the words of the Three Witches got to Macbeths head and he started to consider killing King Dunkin to gain this power. Macbeth doesn’t even know who the witches are, or how they came up with their prediction, but still, he is obviously now power hungry; my prediction is that throughout the book, he will hurt people he cares for and maintain and gain all the power he could possibly consume.
