Iago thinking

1) Iago is trying to make other people think that Othello is not faithful to Desdemona. He also is stereotyping Othello by saying he is just a player. For example in the excerpt Iago says, "These Moors are changeable in their wills." He also thinks Othello is going to get tired of Desdemona. He expresses this by saying "the food 
that to him now is as luscious as locusts, shall be to him shortly as bitter as coloquintida."

2)Iago use the tactics of stereotyping to make the people he is explaining Othello and Desdemona relationship. For example, Iago use the stereotyping that all "Moors" are player and that he will get tired of her and move on to another girl.

Othello Questions

I want to discuss two things from the story Othello. First thing i want to discuss why do Iago, Roderigo, and Brabantio all hate Othello (the Moor). Obviously because they are racist against black people. Roderigo showed how he contributed to his hatred toward Othello because he called him "thick-lips". He was inferring that since Othello was black he had big lips. Iago thinks that Othello is not good enough for Brabantos daughter because he is black. And Barbantio thinks that Othello shouldn't be dating his daughter .The other thing i want to discuss is the what kind of a person would I expect Othello to be given the way they are talking about him. I expect Othello to be a very horrible guy. I expect him to treat Desdemona wrong because they always say how he shouldn't be with her. Also I expect him to be an average person because they just talk about him like he is anyone else and not like he's the moore. they also don't show 
othello any respect for him to be the Moore.

Othello

O,a very intelligent Latino guy, he is married to Desi. They have been together for 2 years now and are happy together. So one day O went to visit his so called friend Jay.
O:"Hey man what's up Jay."
Jay:"Nothing much man. Just came from the gym."
O:"I should have went"
Jay:"Do you know Casey from Coconut Creek?"
O:"Yeah. What about him?"
Jay:"A couple of people told me that he saw him out to eat with Desi man."
O:"Really man?"
Jay:"Yeah man sorry you had to hear it from me."
O:"It's cool man. I'll have a talk with Desi when I get home."
So as O is walking home he is thinking about what he is going to say to Desi. He doesn't want to accuse her of talking to Casey but he also want to find out if the story is true. O is just arriving to his house.
O:"How was your day?"
Desi:"Good. What about yourself?"
O:"Good.I've heard some interesting news."
Desi:"And what interesting news is that?"
O:"Someone told me that you were with Casey out to eat yesterday."
Desi:"No I was home all day yesterday."
O:"Are you sure?"
Desi:"Yes I am sure."
O:"Ok I was just checking."
So the next day O had another talk with Jay about Desi having dinner with Casey.
Jay: "So what did Desi say about Casey?"
O:"She say's she was home all day man. But I don't know what to believe ."
Jay:" I don't know man just be careful man that let her play you."
O: "Ok man. See ya later."
Jay had to figure out another way to put Desi and Casey together in one place and have O see them together.

Summary


In the sense that I read there are three boys walking along the train track and they forgot to bring food and they are low on water. The important conflict is Teddy wants to dodge a train because he thought it would be alot more cool to dodge a train instead of a truck and his friend Gordie won’t let him. So is trying to fight off Gordie so he can get back on the train tracks to dodge the train. In this sense it shows how stubborn Teddy is because even though Gordie is trying to stop him from dodging the train his is still trying to anyways. This sense also reveal how much of a good friend Gordie and how he really cares about his friends. In my opinion I think that Teddy’s other friends besides Gordie are really cowards because they didn’t even try to save their friend from getting hit by the train. It takes a really brave person to do what Gordie did. Gordie risk his own life to save his from doing something that was really foolish. This sense shows how brave Gordie really is. Chris shows that he is the peace maker of the group because he makes Gordie and Teddy make up and forgive each other.
