Iago...say what? Activity 9 Due Tomorrow at the begining of class.
Fastforward to 3:00 hereread the following soliloquy and translate it into our English.to listen, click here
IAGO: Thus do I ever make my fool my purse;For I mine own gained knowledge should profane,If I would time expend with such a snipeBut for my sport and profit. I hate the Moor,And it is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheetsH'as done my office. I know not if't be true,But I, for mere suspicion in that kind,Will do, as if for surety. He holds me well;The better shall my purpose work on him.Cassio's a proper man. Let me see now:To get his place, and to plume up my willIn double knavery. How? How? Let's see.After some time, to abuse Othello's earsThat he is too familiar with his wife.He hath a person and a smooth disposeTo be suspected--framed to make women false.The Moor is of a free and open natureThat thinks men honest that but seem to be so;And will as tenderly be led by th' noseAs asses are.I have't! It is engendered! Hell and nightMust bring this monstrous birth to the world's light. [Exit.](Iago's soliloquy, "Othello," Act 1, Scene 3, lines 374-395)
Therefore I will forever make Rodrigo my money (because he is an idiot); I will continue to gain from my knowlege and i shouldnt speak against it. If i would spend timme with such moron, I only do it for money and for fun.
I hate Othello, and it is thought-in other countries that between my sheets, Otherllo is with my wife. I dont know if it is true, but i willl take it for certain.
Othello trust me; great now my plan to ruin his life will be all that much easier. Cassio's a good guy. Let me see now:To get his place, and to make something not a big deal huge. How? How? Let's see.After some time, to convince him that he is too familiar with his wife. He has a wife that is a lier.The Moor is of a free and open nature. That thinks that all men are honest by the way they look but that are not honest.And will as tenderly be led by the nose As asses are.I have it! It is engendered! Hell and night Must bring this ugly birth to the world's light. [Exit.](Iago's soliloquy, "Othello," Act 1, Scene 3, lines 374-395)
Ahead of His Time by Streeter Seidell on June 23, 2008
Producer: William, we must speak with each other of this new play you've written.
Shakespeare: Ah, yes. My latest is the tale of a...
Producer: Yes...yes, the story is fine. More than fine, William. It's just that we at The Globe take issue with some of your word choices.
Shakespeare: Alas, my words are not a choice! My quill is the true scribe of this volume, I merely act as interpreter!
Producer: Right...right. Yet, we can't help but notice that numerous words in this play just aren't - how shall I put this tenderly - words. You've invented them, have you not?
Shakespeare: Someday, sir, these words will be as normal as a cloud in the sky or a rat in your stew!
Producer: Someday, perhaps. But not now. Listen, William, it wouldn't be such a problem if these words had a discernible meaning. But "lackluster", "impede", "tranquil"? I couldn't even begin to imagine what sort of intention lies therein.
Shakespeare: Sir, you're acting as a muddlelump! Simply read the words in context!
Producer: Have you lost your miggle, sir? To call me a muddlelump only serves to illustrate what a billyham you're behaving as.
Shakespeare: Billyham?! You sir, can count yourself lucky I am an honorable plebicanian or I would have your nose betwixt my two figglers. So help me God, I shall not be spoken to with such...such qual!
Producer: William, please calm yourself. If these kind of hannyhocks continue I fear this meeting will dissolve into fistifinks, and neither you nor I are the sort for that.
Shakespeare: You are correct, sir. I apologize. When my wenny is up I fear I can become a bit hornish. But I appeal to you on bended knick, please allow the play to be staged with its original words in tact.
Producer: I just don't know, William. "Gloomy"? "Elbow?" "Advertising," for God's sake? You believe the audience will be able to ascertain your intended point?
Shakespeare: Certigishly.
Producer: Well, if you feel so strongly about it, I will let the play go on as written. But I fear for its reception, William. It may be many years before the populace at large understands an utterance such as "bandit."
Shakespeare: We shall see, shall we not? Good day to you, sir. Bestbigsby!Producer: Bestbigsby, William.

Daniela"Dad, you know how i really love Lamar, and we have been together for such along time,i know you dont like him but, your not the one dealing with him, I'am. "

Jose "Im not going to accept him in any way, you weren't raised this way,i dont even know how you could even like somebody thats a diffrent race. They are all traders and haters. They are raisist to mexicans, dont you know that? We were tought to like are own race, mexicans should be with mexicans.
Daniela- "But you dont understand. Its not even about the outside, he cares for me for who I'am, not because of my looks, i care for him too. He comes from such a great family, his father is a priest at church, his mom died when he was 12. All he has been trying to do is to get your attention. He's not a bad guy.
Jose- "I dont care what he comes from,i just dont want you near that boy!!"
Jose walked out, and went to the community church, so he can talk to the priest and get help.
Juan- "Welcome, now how may i help you here"
Jose- "Daniela wants to get married, but she will marry a black guy. I just dont feel confterable with that"
Juan- "Well, its her choice, if she really likes him, let her be, she only gets to live once. Your mom didnt like your wife, even though she is mexican, but yet she still approved her. Its not about the outside or there past, it all matters inside, and if your daughter is happy with him then you should be too. Just give him a chance.
Jose-"I guess i should, well thanks for your help Juan, i really appreciate it.
That night Jose changed his mind about Lamar, he knew he was a good guy. He only jugded him from the outside. Luckly for Daniela she got the good news the following morning.

Who Wrote Shakespeare's plays? Activity 5
CLICK HERE AND YOU DECIDEPlease write a 250word blog post to your blog in response to the question:
Did Shakespeare write his own plays?
Yes i think that Shakespeare wrote his plays. Maybe with some help, but i doubt it. Maybe he got all his ideas because of what he saw in people or just his own imagination. I think that all his creativeness made him such a open minded person, to his work.
