In life people are born, raised, and they grow up to become respectable members of society, but sometimes that's not the case. You always hear these stories of the one kid whose life was great, but he or she screwed it up because they were stupid. Every high school has that type of kid, and because I don't want to mention any that go to my school I have provided an example with an article from the NY times. The title of the article is "Good People Go Bad in Iowa, And a Drug Is Being Blamed." That right there just about sums it up for you. A small town (name unkown) went from a quiet little town, to proportional to the amount of drugs in NYC. Crimes were being served at a bakers dozen. Who did they blame? It wasn't anyone, but a drug called methamphetamine, also known as "meth" was bringing the town to rubble. Men with clean records their whole lives had been stealing. Why did these people revert to drugs and act in extreme ways as they did? To be honest it must be depressing in Iowa with all that farm land, and only 100 people per 100 square miles. I do apologize if I have insulted anyone, but I really cannot come up with a valid reason as to why they would start taking drugs. The article said it was popular in California, and it may have worked it's way up north and is now spreading sounds like b.s. Why would farmers from Iowa want to be like people from California? Not that California is a bad place, but that the lifestyle in Iowa seems completely different than California. If you do have any ideas please comment this post. Although people do change from good to bad in our lives it also takes place in books. For example in Macbeth, the main character goes from being King Duncan's most loyal soldier, to being his murderer. Macbeth did this because of what the witches told him and what his wife pushed him into doing. As soon as he killed him he regreted it, but the reason why he did it was because deep down inside he did want to be king, just peer preasure got to him. Although he is king now the last half of the story will be down hill. He will feel guilt, dispair and depression. Eventually, because of the mood the play has been giving off, he will kill himself. Who wouldn't with a "man-lady" wife like his. It just really sucks because he's married to a screwed up man with a woman's body. I would kill myself if I had her as my wife, or just get divorced. Macbeth basically made a bad choice by listening to his crazed wife, and he will listen to her through the rest of the story. She will lead him down a dark path and he will have no where to get out execpt for suicide. Therefore his idea to kill the king was a bad one.
