This is a rather personal question, and I can't answer for you, but I can give you my opinion.

When Macbeth says that line, he is referring to the meaninglessness of life. He is saying that life isn't really worth living because it is just a fleeting moment in time, and will eventually end, no matter what you do about it. He tried hard to fight for his ambition and become a king, and he did, but he died nevertheless, thus reaffirming his belief that life is 'signifying nothing' in the end.

Personally, I disagree with his opinions. Yes, life is going to end and we aren't going to live forever, however, we have to make do with what we were given. We aren't supposed just to lie down and wait to die - we should live our life to the fullest and make the most of it while we still can. As the famous aphorism goes, Carpe diem (Seize the day)!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
