I'm not good at public speaking ,so when the time came for the inquiry presentation, I started freaking out. To help me with the inquiry presentation I watched a video and search up ways to improve my portion of the presentation. Then I practiced my part several times by the end I had memorized my part. Overall, the presentation went well, we got a good mark and I'm starting to feel less afraid each time I do a presentation.

Macbeth's Post Mortem Monologue
King Duncan:
You! You Macbeth! I trusted you! Why
me? I tried to gave you more power so you could rise, I have never
tried to bring you down. I gave you the role of thane of Cawdor. And
what you do? Stab me in the back. Is this what I receive for helping
you. Not only did you do the worst kind of treason by killing me, but
blaming my poor, helpless guards and blaming my innocent sons for my
murder. How dare you?! What did I ever do to you to deserve such
betrayal? You make me sick! You think you can replace me. Me. This is
amusing. You trying to replace me, a great and powerful king. Ha, you
make me laugh. You can't even make your own decisions. You need help
from an embarrassment that you suppose to call wife. She manipulated
you into killing me and you let her. You are weak. We could have done
so well together. I could have given you more power if you wanted.
You were a good man. You let your vicious wife control you. Then you
span out of control. You let your paranoia
get the best of you. Which lead to the best ending.. This ending is
the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Loyal to his
country, Macduff kills Macbeth, while that is happening his
embarrassment kills herself. My favorite part is when Malcolm, my
son, becomes king of Scotland. You deserved what happened to you in
the end. No king will every trust a Macbeth every again.
