Exam essay

I want to call Iago as ‘the gift of gab’ because Iago’s skill on persuasion is better than President of United States. In an old Korean story there is quote on the importance of persuasion: ‘With one word, I can remove my debt.’ Persuasion is one of the most important skills that everyone needs in order to live a life that he or she wants. One of my favorite scenes in Othello is the end of act III, where Iago saying “And may: but, how? How satisfied, my lord? Would you, the supervisor, grossly gape on to behold her topp’d?” which represent that Iago’s high skilled persuasion can make his opponent (Othello) to imagine the false story and upset Othello. He gently persuade Othello to the point that he would listen to Iago's story. Also throughout the whole story, we can see the great work of Iago’s persuasion. For example, Iago persuade Roderigo to attack Cassio so Cassio can be removed from the picture which is extremely dangerous and risky since Roderigo is citizen and Cassio is in high position in the military. Also, before this happened, Iago persuade Cassio to drink alcohol so Cassio accept Roderigo’s challenge.

I am glad I have found this napkin: This was her first remembrance from the Moor: My wayward husband hath a hundred times Woo'd me to steal it; but she so loves the token, For he conjured her she should ever keep it, that she reserves it evermore about her To kiss and talk to. I'll have the work ta'en out, And give't Iago: what he will do with it heaven knows, not I; I nothing but to please his fantasy.

Emilia says this line to herself describing that she will give Othello's handkerchief to her husband, Iago. This property turns out to be one of the biggest parts in Othello. Iago the snake use handkerchief to trick Othello. Because of it, Othello become sure that Desdemona is cheating on him. The trail of handkerchief is quite far. First, Othello give this napkin to Desdemona. Second, Emilia steal the napkin from Desdemona. Third, Emilia gives this napkin to Iago to make him satisfied(we can see that by Emilia saying "I nothing but to please his fantasy"). Last, Iago tells Emilia to leave this handkerchief in Cassio's room and Cassio gives this handkerchief to his girl friend Bianca. After all, Bianca throw this napkin in to Cassio's face by thinking that Cassio obtained handkerchief from another girl. Emilia is some type of slave to Iago because she doesn't ask her husband a reason when Iago tells her to do something.

Poem Again

GARDEN BY H. D.

I

You are clear

O rose, cut in rock,

hard as the descent of hail.

I could scrape the colour   

from the petals

like spilt dye from a rock.

If I could break you   

I could break a tree.

If I could stir

I could break a tree—

I could break you

 

 

Comment

In this poem I could possibly feel the writer's feeling of the sanguine and tolerable feelings.

I expecially like the line that says I could scrape the colour from the petals becuase, everyone knows that it is not possible to scrape the coulour from petals, but it shows the writer's feeling of tolerable.

I also liked the line if I could stir because it gives me a feeling that you are week.

Shakespeare and Barry Manilow

Desdemona

Barry Manilow

What horrible fancy's this? Upon my knees, what doth your speech import?  I understand a fury in your words.... Your wife, my lord; your true  And loyal wife. Heaven doth truly know it. To whom, my lord? with whom? how am I false? Alas the heavy day! Why do you weep?  Am I the motive of these tears, my lord?... I hope my noble lord esteems me honest. Alas, what ignorant sin have I committed? By heaven, you do me wrong. No, as I am a Christian:  If to preserve this vessel for my lord... No, as I shall be saved. O, heaven forgive us! Faith, half asleep. With who? Who is thy lord?

* Can't Smile Without You * You know I can't smile without you  I can't smile without you  I can't laugh and I can't sing  I'm findin' it hard to do anything  You see I feel sad when you're sad  I feel glad when you're glad  If you only knew what I'm goin' through  I just can't smile without you  You came along just like a song  And brightened my day  Who'da believed that you were part of a dream?  Now it all seems light years away  And now you know I can't smile without you  I can't smile without you  I can't laugh and I can't sing  I'm findin' it hard to do anything

Act 3 Iago is bad..... (Iago speaking to Roderigo)

1. What is Iago trying to make other people think?  

Iago wants people to think Othello as a beast which should be destroyed. He wants other to think negative about Othello and support Iago to remove Othello from his General status and make Iago as the General of Italy.


2. What tactics does Iago rely on to make his victims believe him?

Iago uses racism to make others feel negative on Othello. Most of tactics Iago uses are racism to describe Othello since the race is only thing that Iago think he is better that Othello. He also uses nationalism like describing Othello as barbaric Turkish man of African who should be removed from sacred place: Italy.


P.S. ::: This is Haitian general who is famous as the first Black formal general even he fought against white people.

MOOR

MOOR

Act 1 scene 1
Now, sir, be judge yourself, Whether I in any just term am affined To love the Moor.

Iago says this line to Brabantio to get help from Brabantio to separate Othello and desdemona.


Act 1 scene 1
For, sir, 
It is as sure as you are Roderigo, 
Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago: 
In following him, I follow but myself; 

Iago says this line to Roderigo to tell him that he follows Othello to serve him self not to show respect to Othello.

Act 1 scene 3
Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see: 
She has deceived her father, and may thee.

Othello say this line to Brabantio to explain his feeling about Brabantio's daughter.

Scene 1 of Othello (let's begin the Othello)

1. Why do Iago, Roderigo, and Brabantio all hate Othello (the Moor)? 


Because Othello is black man who has everything. He is a general so they can't say anything in front of him. Othello has a wife who is white and daughter of Brabantio. Lago and Roderigo kept thought about it is bad that white woman and black man shouldn't be together.


3. Given the way they are talking about him, what kind of a person would you expect Othello to be?

They talk about him like he was a beast or animal. Because of racism and jealousy, Lago and Roderigo tell Brabantio that Brabantio's daughter is having a sexual act with black beast which is Othello...

Eugene Yoon

My name is Eugene Yoon. I'm from South Korea. I was in Mr. Parsons class last year. I came to America five years ago. When I came here for first time, I couldn't speak English at all. However, since I stayed in here for almost five years, now English became less hard. Despite me staying in America for five years, there are so many things to study. Just like SAT vocabularies and college level grammar, there are so many things to study in so little time. When I first got here I couldn’t speak English at all. In that time, I thought in order to fix this problem; I started my personal project call ‘English All Day’ (speaking only English even to Korean (my native language) speaker). Although it was very hard to speak English only for my entire day, the result of this project was much more valuable than what I was expected. After few years from when I started this project, my English skill got much better. I could speak English without break or mistake and most of native English speakers could understand what I am saying. When I could speak English like native English speakers, I could learn new SAT vocabularies much faster. Also, as my pronunciation get better, my grammar skills got better automatically. Since I finished the Basic English skill, for this year, I want to be better English speaker than native, proving that foreigners can speak better English than native speakers. Also, in this winter, I am planning on taking SAT test and get higher grade than most of American people (over 2000). This year for me can be hardest year in high school since I have to get good grade and prepare for SAT and SAT2 tests, however, just like my first year in America, I am sure I can do well in this year.

Gatsby POEM

April Love By Ernest Dowson

We have walked in Love's land a little way,

We have learnt his lesson a little while,

And shall we not part at the end of day,

With a sigh, a smile?

A little while in the shine of the sun,

We were twined together, joined lips, forgot

How the shadows fall when the day is done,

And when Love is not.

We have made no vows--there will none be broke,

Our love was free as the wind on the hill,

There was no word said we need wish unspoke,

We have wrought no ill.

So shall we not part at the end of day,

Who have loved and lingered a little while,

Join lips for the last time, go our way,

With a sigh, a smile?

   In this poem, i personally think this poem explains the relationship between Daisy and Gatsby. When first they meet after 5years, Gatsby felt even the day is over, love is not. This small quote in this poem, just explains the feeling that Gatsby felt after they meet again and stayed together. Also the term ‘So shall we not part at the end of day,’ shows that their love shouldn’t be over until the end of April love. The term April love shows that lovers wait until April and during the short period time, they love intensively. Like the term in the poem ‘Who have loved and lingered a little while, Join lips for the last time, go our way, With a sigh, a smile?’ Gatsby and Daisy could not stay together longer just like April love. And even the time Gatsby and Daisy separates, they kept their smile like ‘April lover”.

"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori."

"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori."
This means it is sweet to die for one man's country

I personally agree with this term. For example, if second war happens, I will fight North Korean communism bastards until I die. Even I die in the war, I will be remembered as the great worrior of South Korea who died for his country. In my opinion, it is better to live long life than live dynamic and honorable life whith everyone will remember me. Of course it is great to live for long, but if no one remembers me, I will be useless man. Also, I will do everything to protect my motherland and my Yoon family. Some Americans should be shame to be coward and not join the U.S. army to fight off the terrorists. Cowards should join the army and be proud to protect their lovers. In South Korea, joining army is mandetory. Everyman in South Korea goes to army and trains to become the great worrior of South Korea. And cowards are being beaten by others. American people really shouldn't be coward. Most of American men don't sign up for army. I'm very disappointed on American people who don't sing up for army. I thought America was country of justice and hero of other countries. And you Mr. Parsons, you should join the army to protect your motherland.

During the world war 1, a lot of recruit were young man who had the dream to become the war hero. the baby mouse in the picture shows us mouse is confused by the meaning of the rifle. During world war 1 and 2, there were lots of parents who wish to raise their children as war hero. Those parents send their kids to the military schools and train them to become soldier.

New Poem

In Praise of Pain By Heather McHugh

A brilliance takes up residence in flaws—

a brilliance all the unchipped faces of design

refuse. The wine collects its starlets

at a lip's fault, sunlight where the nicked

glass angles, and affection where the eye

is least correctable, where arrows of

unquivered light are lodged, where someone

else's eyes have come to be concerned.

For beauty's sake, assault and drive and burn

the devil from the simply perfect sun.

Demand a birthmark on the skin of love,

a tremble in the touch, in come a cry,

and let the silverware of nights be flecked,

the moon pocked to distribute more or less

indwelling alloys of its dim and shine

by nip and tuck, by chance's dance of laws.

The brightness drawn and quartered on a sheet,

the moment cracked upon a bed, will last

as if you soldered them with moon and flux.

And break the bottle of the eye to see

what lights are spun of accident and glass.

 

This poem describe about pain. During the war, people feel pain. Expecially, young soldiers who don't know the truth of war feel the pain after or during the fight. Also, when order people look at the younger people, order people feel pain because most of younger people who don't know the truth of war dies in the battlefield. In my opinon, the word pain describes war very well. Pain from lossing friends and killing another people are very pitiful. In this poem, the writer is trying to describe the beginning of the pain.

PAUL

When Paul went back to his home, he found that nobody could understand about his feeling. Also people in his town kept their unrealistic opinions about the war. Expecially Paul's father thought that war is very cool and honorable. When I first time to study in America as student, people in South Korea thought that it is very easy to study in America. But after I spended few monthes in America, I had to suffer the racisms in New Jersey. People didn't liked me becuase I was Asian and they didn't wanted to cooperate with me becuase I couldn't speak English very well. When I went back to Korea, my parents and neverhoods thought it is very easy to stay in America. And their thoughts about staying in America by themselves made me felt very uncomfortable. Paul's experiance were very fearful. When people don't understand Pual's feeling, Pual felt very uncomfortable.

WW1 another poster

A: this poster is very original poster of WW1. This poster was very famous and effective. "Men to delay is dangerous when your country need you" tells audience that the country needs more people to join the army before its too late to join the army. Also, this tells audience that if man delays his joining the army is very dangerous to the country . This poster made lots of British men to join the army of the England.



B: This poster was very effective to brave people who want to become honorable and very glory. Also this poster kind of showing the Army of England is based on honor of the Great Island which stayed strong in all time. This poster made men to join the army much quicker. Becuase this poster England could stand from German's attack.

WW1 propaganda poster

A: In this picture, there are three people looking at audience with hopeful eyes. You can see that they want you to join the army and be the peer of their army. In the trench, there is a man on the left who is cooking something. This shows us that people in the army has separate works and organized community. Also the one with the coffee mug looks very happy to serve the army. For the last, the storage on the center shows us that they have enough supplies for more armys.



B: unlikely than other posters, this poster shows the truth of the war. For some people, this poster would not work as propaganda, but for some honorable people, this poster would work very well as propaganda. The background of this picture shows us that all trees had been destroyed by war and the man on the left seems very worried and fearful. This picture also shows us that they need reinforcement as fast as possible. For the last, the right side of trench is broken by bombadment which tell audience that they need more people to defend and fix the trench.

World War 1 3/1

Although I saw this poster a lot, I never thought about it. This poster made a lot of American males to join the army which they didn't have to join. This man in the poster wears American theme hat and wearing original American cloth which made other people to feel their patriotism. This man in the poster is pointing his finger at the audience. This act shows us that the poster tries to insist that we or I should not be the audience of the wining war and made us to be the war hero. Now days, we take this poster and rewrite what we want to insist.

The Relationship of Mankind to the Gods

In the old Greek myth, God created us. They are mortal and strong, they rule the world. Although they seems like they are on top of us but they are very like human. They love each other, they hate each other, and they were very similer to human. Or, in the other hand, we are very similer to gods. In the Gilgamesh, because of people's actions twords to god were very unforgiveable, so gods sent flood to the world. People in the old ages thought the natural disaster was caused by gods. Important thing is we made the gods. Gods were created by our thoughts and people in the old days couldn't find why there are sun. So they created gods to explain the facts that they couldn't explain with their technology. according to people in the old days human and gods are very similer and only different between us is that gods are mortal and they can cause natural disaster.

Gilgamesh

Although he became human,but I personally want to insist that he is not a human. Gilhamesh was one of the best hero and also he united his land, but he also killed lots of people. So, we can't say he was 'good' but we can say that he was a great general. Also, he is mainly not a human. It is same as a monkey did lots of work done so it can be a human. In order to him to become a ture human, I think he should learn the right of the each person's opinion and thoughts. Also, he should learn how to treat people nice. In the book, you can find out that he acts like a sevage and even his friend is so agressive that he decided to become Gilgamesh's friend after Gilgamesh defeated him. I think the whole idea of the book is fruitless and vain life of Great Gilgamesh's end. 

New Simple poem

To Helen By Edgar Allan Poe

Helen, thy beauty is to me

Like those Nicéan barks of yore,

That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,

The weary, way-worn wanderer bore

To his own native shore.

On desperate seas long wont to roam,

Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,

Thy Naiad airs have brought me home

To the glory that was Greece,

And the grandeur that was Rome.

Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche

How statue-like I see thee stand,

The agate lamp within thy hand!

Ah, Psyche, from the regions which

Are Holy-Land!
