OTHELLO.
It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul,--
Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars!--
It is the cause.--Yet I'll not shed her blood;
Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow,
And smooth as monumental alabaster.

[Takes off his sword.]

Yet she must die, else she'll betray more men.
Put out the light, and then put out the light:
If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,
I can again thy former light restore,
Should I repent me:--but once put out thy light,
Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature,
I know not where is that Promethean heat
That can thy light relume. When I have pluck'd thy rose,
I cannot give it vital growth again,
It must needs wither:--I'll smell it on the tree.--

othello
She is cause of my pain. Then I can't hurt her. I don't want to ruin her beautiful skin like snow. Takes his sword
I must kill her before she goes on with the other guys I must dispose of her and take her life away.If I would stop her from controlling me, I can be happy again, and should feel sorry that I shall kill myself. She is naturally evil.If I regret I won't know how to bring her back after she's dead.

There I will forever make money from/ by Rodrigo. I will continue to gain from my knowledge and I shouldn’t speak against it. If I would spend time 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 Othello is with my wife, I don’t know if it is true, but I will take it for certain.

Othello trusts me; Great now my plan to ruin his life will be all that much easier. Cassio’s a good man. I want to know now. To get his place, and to achieve up my fain, double dishonest. How? How? Let's see. After some time, to make Othello hate to hear is that he is too obsess with his wife. He hath a person and a smooth order to be doubtful 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)

Use specific examples/ advice from "Office.." to bolster your point.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Capulet,and Montague

I am here to observe how your child was behaving yesterday, afternoon. Your child was showing disrespect to others, fighting, and there was deaths from the Montagues and Capulets. It was Tybalt Capulet and Mercutio Montague. Mr. Mercutio Montague was making a fool of himself, like he knows the world. He, also, started the tease to Tybalt, which made him show his temper. Then, Tybalt mocked Mercutio by spiting his disgusting saliva on his hand and rinsed with the water that Mercutio was in. That is not just the most nonsense fooling. They've started to fence with their sword, to prove who was the best. They haven't thought of the danger of fighting, and actually took the risk.

I want to encourage you as parents or guardians to teach and show your child how to be a good Christian and a Noble gentle men. If they get taught of how, they would pass this lesson or be a good role model to their next generation. Which this can spread Christianity to the country and make it better with peace.
Your child should not be brainwashed by any women,that only ask for sexual action. As to be a Christianity and Nobel gentle men, they'll have to keep control of their wives, no gambling and other addictive, bad activities

If you are indeed to care, please teach your child to be a good Christian and a gentle man. I believe you don't want any more accidents in your family, and make this country a terrible sight. Practice Christianity with your child. It is important to have peace in our country.


Thank you for your time,

assignment 6

On your blog, type your observations as to the visual style - letters, punctuation, spelling - of this document from 1616 from one that is contemporary.


This document of the Renaissance time was very hard to understand the meaning of this whole documents. Some words were actually wrote it differently. Letters was hard to see, it looks like other letters which makes us pronouncing the wrong word. This was making us how frustrating it was to understand and to read out loud. It took a long time to read through all the sentences. I believe that the educated people during Renaissance time can read this as fast as we can read normal text from these days.

assignment 5

Please write a 250word blog post to your blog in response to the question:

Did Shakespeare write his own plays?

Please find and cite two additional sources to support your opinion.

Shakespeare did wrote the play scholars, I do not believe that Shakespeare wrote his plays. It is impossible for such a young man to became rich, rapidly, by just writing plays. He first start off without an independent wealth and he was just an actor. There wasn't any documents or any evidences that prove that Shakespeare's plays and poems were written by someone else, or that the actor Shakespeare was not the author of Shakespeare. This point can mean that there is no evidences at all, about the truth did he really became wealthy by just writing scripts. It is hard to believe did Shakespeare wrote poems, sonnets, and scripts without any evidence. If this will be true, then there should be people during Shakespeare time writing about Shakespeare producing the scripts like reporters. I don't believe that all his plays came from his own creativity. I am sure that he had others helping him or he's seeing other's real life story and made it more like fairy tales and mythological. His poems and plays and some stray references to his work, is a mystery searchers are barely able to tolerate. Is he guilty to give evidences for now days that he wrote the plays? Because it may not be his own creativity, to prevent his embarrassments and people pointing him out that he steal idea, he probably remain silence. Without much education , how can William Shakespeare have such a creativity mine? During his time many things weren't even explored in education.

Word order in Shakespearean Writing
When Shakespeare wrote his prose, he often used a slightly different word order than we are used
to. The subject, verb, and object did not always follow in a 1, 2, 3 order. Look at the following
sentence. Rewrite the sentence four times, changing the word order each time. Put one word on
each blank provided below the original sentence.

Original Sentence: I lost my homework.

Rewrite #1: Lost my homework I
Rewrite #2: My homework I lost
Rewrite #3: homework my I lost
Rewrite #4: I my lost homework
Look at each of your rewritten sentences above. Has the meaning of the original sentence changed?

No matter how you word it...you're toast if your homework is lost!
Now, think about how Yoda speaks in the Star Wars Movies. We understood exactly what he was saying, even though the word order was slightly different than what we are used to hearing. It's your turn to makeup a short sentence like the one above and rewrite it several different ways. Does the meaning change with the rewrites? Share your sentences.

Original Sentence: I drive my car on the road

Rewrite #1: _my car I drive on the road
Rewrite #2: _on the road I drive my car
Rewrite #3: _my car drive I on the road
Rewrite #4: _road on the I drive my car
