Objective: Is ambition always a good thing? AND How do I read a graphic novel?

Here's what we did in class today:
1- #4 ACT Power concept
2- Introducing the theme in Macbeth:

Lazy people are often blamed for having too little ambition. At the same time, many overachievers are criticized for excessive single-mindedness or for doing the wrong things to achieve their goals. Think about your own ambitions and the people you would describe as ambitious. When is ambition good? When is it undesirable or even evil?
