Mrs. Holliday,
I hope you and your daughter are feeling much better. Enjoy your break!

guilt |gilt|
noun
the fact of having committed a specified or implied offense or crime
responsibility |riˌspänsəˈbilətē|
noun ( pl. responsibilities )
the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone
Macbeth is a prime example on the topic of guilt and responsibility. During the play one can see the extent that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are responsible for themselves. The actions that one takes affects how they are going to feel for specific circumstances. If one did a good deed within the community, like community service, that person wouldn't have guilt- they would feel warm about themselves for helping out a cause. A person's responsibility can change based on the circumstance, take babysitting for example. When I babysit, I am not only responsible for the decisions I make, but I am responsible for the children's lives. The parents are putting their trust in me- believing that I am capable of making rights decisions while watching over their children. If, God forbid, something awful were to happen while I was watching the kids, I would feel guily if I didn't take the correct action that the circumstance called for.
