Iago actions towards his Wife

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

   Iago complains about his wife towards Desdemona, about how useless is wife is. He uses specific statements      such as " You are a picture out of doors", which is saying she is useless. He basically is just "Slandering" his wife, as Desdemona pointed out in fifth to last line. The last line that Iago says is that, basically his wife is only useful, when she sleeps. 

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

    In almost every line that Iago had in that excerpt, he only talked about how useless having a wife and thats all he talked about in that excerpt. It is pretty believable since is uses such harsh terms towards his wife and Desdemona, which is believable. Though he could also be joking around about his wife, but this can go either way. 

Othello Dialogue

Ozzy is an nigerian business worker for a company and recently had gotten a promotion. His white assistant Carl is his best friend.

John who work just as hard lost his promotion to Ozzy because he's black, and has sworn to get revenge because of this. Ozzy had recently been dating the CEO's daughter of the company, and see's any opportunity to strike.

John thinks he can use Carl, his best friend, and have one another ruin each other, also having the CEO's daughter all in the middle of this.

"Hey Ozzy" says John next to the water cooler.

" Hey John, hows it going". says Ozzy

" Good, good. So Ozzy must be nice having that promotion you got recently"

" Oh ya, it's great John, got more money to pay the bills now too."

" Hahahahah"   John, sarcastic laugh

" Must also have a some money to spend on the CEO's daughter right?"

" Ya I guess I do" said Ozzy

" I heard that she was using some of that money at lunch with Carl".

" Wait, are you kidding!?!?" Said Ozzy surprisingly

" Yup, have a nice day Ozzy"

Summarize Section 2 - The Body

 

A group of four boys Gordy, Teddy, Vern, and Chris are walking along the train tracks in the woods and are walking over to the dump well to fill up they’re canteens since they had almost emptied them. They also had realized that they had not packed any food for the trip, and put all the money they had together. After seeing how much money they have, they continue on they’re journey to the dump well. Though soon Gordy put his hand on the rail to see if any trains were coming, and there was, so all of them slide down the embankment, all of them except Teddy. For some reason he wanted to see if he could dodge the train. Gordy then protest about his poor lack of judgment, and then pushes him off the tracks. Teddy and Gordy start to jawing at one another, though once the train had passed they stopped immediately. The group soon resolves the problem by talking it out, and then they get back to they’re journey. 

The main conflict that happened in this scene was the argument between Teddy and Gordy about dodging the train. The other conflict was going to the dump well, and having enough money to get something to eat.

Teddy’s motivation- Too see if he has the guts to dodge a freight train, for some odd particular reason.

Gordy’s motivation- Too get Teddy off the train tracks before he gets himself killed. He also doesn’t want engineer to see him on the tracks, and he might send a report, which may bring a police car searching for them.
