Hello,
I had some few questions about the elements of fiction sheet. I did not understand the story and it did not make sense to me. So over the break, I read it again and I still did not understand it. So I was wondering if you can maybe explain it to us tomorrow in class and give everyone an extra day on the homework?
Please and Thank You goes a long way! =)
Hey Ms. Saidi
i didnt understand some parts on the elements of fiction. may you please give us an extra day 2 do it. i searched it online but that didnt help.
thankss!!!
Hey Ms. Saidi,
In Sonnet 130, I believe that Shakespeare is discussing how his girl is NOT beautiful by her appearance, nor by her soul or behavior because she was dying. I think he is trying to say that he can’t hear her anymore and is explaining how pale she looks as a ghost because she is died. When Shakespeare says,
” I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:…”
Shakespeare is telling the readers that he would love to hear her voice one more time, but he cannot because of her death, and when he says, “I grant I never saw a goddess go,” he is saying he would of never pictured the day that his lover died before him. And finally, when he says, ” My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:” he is saying that she fell to the ground, because of her weakness of dying.
~ That’s what I think after reading the sonnet.
hey ms.saidi, on the homework for tonight when i searched famous soliloquy the results i got were “to be, or not to be” but u gave it as an example in class may i still use it?
hey ms.said, when i was reading the Othello book,i could barely understand some of the things said.So i was wondering maybe we can discuss it in class tomorrow? There r some words i tried to break down by using context clues and past reference but there r a few i never got.
How many times did you read it? And were you taking notes on things you DID understand (and of course things you didn’t)? Also, have you Google’d a summary of Othello? These are all ways you could help yourself.
You can read comments other students have made in other classes. One student read the Act 4 times.
Hey Ms.saidi, I was rereading Act three and i came to the part where Iago repeats the line “put money in thy purse”,i know its a metorphor but i forgot what it meant exactly.
Why don’t you google the line? Never look to me for a straight answer like that. All I’ll ever do is ask you more questions until your arrive at the answer yourself.
Only reason I’m answering this simple question is because I know you were absent Friday: Just re-read Act I and then complete the sheet. Follow all directions and use lots of details.
ok!
I think desdemona is brave. thats because she stood up for her love. she told her dad that she knows he is in charge of her but she still loves othello. she says, ” i do perceive here a divided duty: To you i am bound for life and education; My life and education both do learn me how to respect you; you are the lord of duty.” SHe wasnt scared to say she loves Othello. She stood up for there love. However, she talked to her dad in a calm way.
Summary of Act 2:
Several weeks later in Cypress, Montano and several others are awaiting Othello’s arrival by bark or ship. We learn that a terrible storm has largely battered and destroyed the Turkish fleet, which no longer poses a threat to Cypress. Unfortunately there are fears that this same storm drowned Othello as well.
Montano reveals his high praise of Othello, which is shared by many. Cassio, who has arrived, sings Desdemona’s praises. A ship is spotted but it is Desdemona and Iago’s not Othello’s. Iago suspects that Cassio loves Desdemona and slyly uses it to his advantage.
Iago tells Roderigo that he still has a chance with Desdemona but Cassio whom Desdemona could love is in the way. Killing Cassio (who became Othello’s lieutenant instead of Iago) will leave Desdemona to Roderigo, Iago slyly explains.
Othello finally arrives to everyone’s great relief. Iago decides to tell Othello that Cassio is having an affair with Desdemona’s so Iago will be rewarded whilst Cassio will be punished.
A Herald announces celebration that “our noble general Othello!” has defeated the Turkish fleet, calling on all to celebrate this great triumph and also to celebrate Othello’s “nuptial” or wedding to the fair Desdemona.
Iago learns more of Cassio’s high regard for Desdemona and Iago manipulates Cassio into drinking too much since he is certain Cassio will do something he will regret.
With Cassio gone, Iago tells Montano of Cassio’s drinking problem turning Montano’s high regard for Cassio into dust. Iago also tells Roderigo to attack Cassio. This happens, and Cassio wounds Roderigo and then Montano who was trying to break up the fight.
Othello is now awake and Cassio’s name ruined.
Othello though he loves Cassio, has no choice but to demote him from his position as his lieutenant. Next Iago comforts Cassio by suggesting he speak with Desdemona who could put in a good word for him with Othello.
Iago comforts a wounded Roderigo, telling him he has won by ruining Cassio’s name. Iago has his wife Emilia ensure Desdemona and Cassio will talk so Othello can see his wife talking with Cassio, allowing Iago to convince Othello that Desdemona is being unfaithful…
What do they mean by. “Her eye must be fed; and what delight shall she have to look on the devil?” i know we discussed it in class.. but i re-read it and i got confused.
A messanger arrived with news that They have won the war. Some celabrated dancing, some with having bonfires , what ever the men where addicted to.But the beneficial news was the celbration of othellos and desdomonas wedding. All officers were invited.The wedding was 5pm to 11pm.
Yeah Nadeen, there trying to get revenge on Othello because they think he “slept” with Emila. So they are trying to get Desdemona to “sleep” with one of the men. So Desdemona MUST get married, to who she “slept” with. I found it off this website:
Ok Nebal, they are trying to get revenge against Othello because he married a white women, and he is BLACK. They are racist and jealous of Othello, and just want revenge. Thanks for the website, It helps me a lot and I understand the book a lot more clearer. 🙂
Hey Nebal, this is Saba from 4th hour, and i was just roming other classroom hours to see if they had the same ideas on what i thought. and i happened to pass this one. Iago wants revenge on Othello because Othello chose him to be his ancient, and chose Cassio to be the luetenant, and iago has been working for iago for a long time, so he thought he deserved to be his luetenant, and not the ancient. thats why iago hates othello. read page one of act one. its in the paragraph where iago speaks. Also, rodrigez despises othello because othello got the chick, desdomona, that rodrigez wanted in the first place, but brabantio brutally refused his proposal to her. Thats why they hate him. Hope that helped! Luv you=)
On act 2 scene 3 wen Cassio mentions God’s above all; and there be souls must be saved, and there be souls must not be saved. Does Cassio mean by this that God chooses who lives and who doesn’t.? Then also after that he mentions that he hopes to be saved and God forgive us for our sins.! Is he saying that he regrets hating on Othello and being racist to him or what.? I’m getting a little confused by this and dont understand where hes coming from by these statements.
when cassio says “God’s above all; and there be souls must be saved, and there be souls must not be saved.” he saying there are good souls that deserve to be saved and there are bad ones that should not be saved becuase of the sins they have.
When cassio says he hopes to be saved, he says this becuase hes going to get drunk and hopes to be saved from god because of the sins he might comment while being drunk.And hes asking god to forgive them for thier sins they commit while being drunk.
i think iago is really smart and is going fool and ruin everyones lives, of the people he doesnt like, one by one. hes such a evil genious and is going to get wat he wants and use peoples weaknesses against them, like cassio with the alcohol.
im predicting that iago is trying to start a problem between cassio and othello,and othello and desdemona because i think hes going to try to get cassio to sleep with desdemona or at least frame them because he secertly loves her,that way othello will get reallly angry and eventually make him do somthing he wishes he has never done[like murder].
i think its ironic how cassio keeps calling Iago honest. either cassio is saying that because he really believes it or because cassio is on to iago. i think its because cassio truely believes he is honest
YOUR SO RITE AMANDA! ITS LIKE THERE BLIND, THEY CANT SEE THE EVILNESS AND TRICKERY IN A PERSON THAT IS STANDING RITE BEFORE THERE VERY EYES.. THATS WHAT REALLLY ANNOYZ ME, YOU KNOW?
thats true cause iago comferd cassio in act 2 when he was drunk and told him to solove his issue ,of losing his place as a leutenent, by talking to desdemona. So he just thinks hes honest and wants to support him, but he really doesnt.
Oh, okay. Just making sure Ahmed, and thanks! Anyways if anyone wants to watch the movie online just click on the site below. I found it off Ovguide.com.
“Men should be what they seem; or those that be not, would they might seem none!” quote said by Iago. i think iago is trying to make it seem like he, himself the ways he acts towards othello is how he really is. but we the audience no that thats not true but the characters so far are believing his lies.
Iago is possibly the most heinous villain in Shakespeare, Iago is fascinating for his most terrible characteristic: his utter lack of convincing motivation for his actions.
i think this story is all about jealousy. Everything that happend in this story was an effect of jealousy. Iago being a manipulative evil genious, is who brought this story to be interesting and caotioc. Overall, people die from his dishonesty and his cruelty. Eventhough hes a horrible person ,hes what brought this story to life and death. AND STILL DOESNT ACHIEVE ANYTHING!
Ms. saidi i have to write an essay for social studies and the teacher said it would be a goodd idea to have another teacher check over it for me. can i bring it to you Monday after school. it due Thursday
hey ms.saidi for the comic strip homework, im confused on wat to do. i dont understand wat extactly to put in the boxes and how to do it? Can u please explain???
Remember to ask yourself what’s the point of this assignment? It’s not graded–it’s just a way for you to check and make sure you understood the whole play. Do you understand?
According to the Quran, when someone is accused of adultery, there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication in order for the fornicator to be punished. The testimony of two women is worth that of one man. Muslim scholars say is due to how emotional women may become. The witnessing of the act of fornication as proof related to the play, Othello by Desdemona being accused of using adultery or cheating on her husband with Cassio. The women in both the Quran and the play are more insulted or more punished for any form of adultery. It is important because, in the Muslim society, and the days during William Shakespeare, women were treated more unfairly. The status of women was similar, and it was double the punishment for a woman to cheat on her spouse. Desdemona got punished for adultery from Othello, by going through the stage of death. Muslim women would also get punished for adultery by getting murdered, or going through some other sort of punishment. I think women get double the punishment because; there is more innocence when it comes to a lady. A male doesn’t have innocence and can’t get any proof of adultery like the way a women can. The emotionality of women is a factor in their testimony by their status being lower or inferior to men. It creates the women to feel lower in society, and living in an unfair world. The emotion that the courts are trying to protect against males, and females receive more of the blame when it comes to adultery, because “two women is worth that of one man”. This is related to the play, because Othello automatically believed Iago’s rumor of Desdemona cheating on him. Then, Othello killed his wife with a lacking amount of proof. Even, though Cassio cheated on “his girl” he did not get in trouble at all, and no punishment.
hey Nebal, where did u find that and like Hassan said, r we supposed to do the essay for hw….if so….is it supposed to be typed or hand written b/c we werent given much info in class about it….so i dont understand it?!?!?!?!?!
The Quran stays that if or when someone is accused of adultery the must be 4 witness of the actual act in order the person to be punished and 2 women are worth 1 man this connect to the play Othello by des. was accused of adultery but the olny porf they had was iago so tec. the was only 1 or 2 witness if you inculed Rod. Also it connects to the play by show that women didnt have alot of respect back in the day one porf would be that the Quran stays that 2 women are worth as 1 which mean that each woman is worth a half (if u cant do the math jk) of a men and they didnt real respect or belive the women. Another reson would be that in the play othello belived iago right away which means he didnt have alot of confidce in himslef and des. also he didnt confrent des. right away he jumped to concultions without going thought it all and having more prof. the Quran also stays punishment most punshment would be murder that if ur married if ur not then i think u r torchered am not sure anyway des. pushment was death.in the 2nd qestion it say what emotion r the courts trying to portect against? i thinkby the court they mean the main people (right) so the court is trying to state a posstion if one person does or commits adulter then there will be a pushment to both by that they are trying to theratans people with death or different thing so people wont commit these kind adultery. over all i think all of this conect ot the play Othello because iago is the only1 who pored that des. was commited adultary and the quarn stay there has to be 4 also the pushment was the same in the book because othello kills des. and that was her pushment. =)
Like said in the Quran, there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication for the fornicator to be punished, this connects to Othello because in the story, Iago, Desdemona, Cassio, and Roderigo were witnesses of Desdemona and Cassio. It is important because without the enough truth you can not put the puzzle piece to be able to see the picture. Step by step, you will make it to the top of the staircase being able to see every detail below you.If this fornication is not seen by four people, then he/she is punished for his wring doings’ said about the fornication. The emotionality of women a factor in their testimony is more sensitive then in a mans’ perspective. This is more effected in a woman then in a man. It makes the woman feel like they are less powered then anyone in society, making them feel like they are in a lower level. The emotion courts try to protect against male and female who will face more punishment against their consequences or actions. The fact that “two women is worth that of one man” is self explanatory that the memory of two women is equal to the memory of one man. This connects to the play because with Iago telling Othello that Desdemona cheated on him by going with Cassio, the emotions and reactions Othello would have been different then if Desdemona had heard that. Desdemona would have taken it serious without thinking of past times with herself and Othello because women are more sensitive. But on the other hand, Othello did not believe Iago right away without the facts. But then he asked Desdemona for the handkerchief and without a doubt he thought Cassio had had it since Desdemona stuttered without a right away answer. Then believing it since Iago told Othello in more detail about Desdemona and Cassio. When the scene of Othello smacking Desdemona thinking she is acting as if she does not understand what Othello was saying to her. With that, her reactions were questions making Othello very emotional about what had happened. With a deficient amount of proof he kills her for doing what she did and then no later, he commits suicide.
Yeah, Hassan and Maha, the essay question for homework was suppose to be posted on the blog, and I think also typed or hand written. I just copied and pasted what I wrote on the blog and printed it, so I suggest you do the same. And, I know there wasn’t that much time in class to discuss it, but I just followed her homework on the board.
THNXXX U DID GOOD TOO….BUT IT IS ALMOST 9:00 AND THERE R ONLY 3 PPL WHO ACTUALLY DID THE HW MEANING DOING IT ON THE BLOG! THATS NOT GOOD! (srry for the capitilization)
According to the Quran, when someone is accused of adultery(zinnah), there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication in order for the fornicator to be punished. Also, the testimony of two women is worth that of one man. This, some Muslim scholars say is due to how emotional women may become. The witnessing of the act of fornication as proof is related to Othello by Desdemona being accused of adultery or otherwise “cheating” on Othello with Cassio. It was important because women went through a lot of stuff and had a lot of consequences. Desdemona got punished by getting killed by Othello. Emotionality is a huge factor in their testimony because if the women was depressed and heart broken she can just give up and say she did cheat on her husband but if the women was brave and courageous she would stand up for herself and let the truth be heard. This is related to Othello because in the story when Othello hears the rumor he right away believes it and accuses Desdemona of cheating and eventually kills her. The court is trying to protect that both men and women are treated equally. This relates to Othello because when Desdemona is accused of cheating on Othello she goes through living hell but when Cassio is to be cheating on his spouse nothing happens. Thats how the passage from the Quran relates to Othello.
Even if this wasn’t for homework this still helped me understand the book a little better and how it can relate to the world, art & literature, and self. Can we try relating Othello to another passage or thing tomorrow it would help us understand it better. Especially if we haven’t finished the book yet. Thanks
According to the Quran, the holy book of muslims, when someone is accused of adultery, there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication in order for the fornicator to be punished. also, the testimony of two women is worth that of one man. The witnessing of the act of fornication is realated to Othello because Desdemona was accused of cheathing on her husband with Cassio. During this time, women were treated unfairly. The Quran says there must be four witnesses, but in the story Othello Iago was the only one that said desdemona was cheating on othello. another reason was thaat othello didnt actually sit and discuss this situation with desdemona. he suddenly believe Iago and turned against his wife.
The emotionality of women is a factor in their testimony because women at that time were inferrior to men. this makes women feel unfair and different than men. i believe that if desdemona and othello actually sat and talked about this sittuation they would get a conclusion other than death.
Ms.Saidi my microsoft word somehow got deleted and all i have is wordpad and im not sure how to setup all the requirements so im just going to print out the paper the way it is.
According to the Quran, the holy book of muslims, when someone is accused of adultery, there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication in order for the fornicator to be punished. Also, the testimony of two women is worth that of one man. The witnessing of the act of fornication is realated to Othello by it being unrelated. Othello would of been better knowing shari’a law if he were muslim because he couldnt trust just trust one guy,Iago, thats saying all these untruthful lies about his wife,Desdemona, and best friend,Cassio.This would of made of made him look and be more smarter and more careful. Othello was trusting Iago about all these about Cassio and Desdemona having an affair. For example, Iago made up that he saw Cassio was wiping his beard with the hankerchief, given to othello by his mother. Iago knowing that Othello will get extremely mad, he almost belived Cassio was having an affair with Desdemona. Which leads to Othello wanting to kill Desdemona from his dissapointment and anger, and Iago to kill Cassio. He kills her through stranglation and didnt belive his wife he loved, even when she said,” I never did offend you in my life;never loved cassio” in act 5 scene 1,which means she never hurt nor hurt othello in her life and never loved cassio. Eventually he finds out what happens and that all the untruthful jealousness of Iago, which leads to Othello to kill himself.
part b) why is the emotionality of women a factor in their testimony? what emotion are the courts trying to protect against? how is this related to the play? Be specific and use details.
Ms. Saidi, my rough draft is still with you, and I need it to look at it and correct it. I also need to staple it with my final draft before school starts. What should I do?
You should have it saved onto your computer. Some students were able to get to my class before they left.
Anyway, I did have comments on it and due to the situation, you won’t have them to look at. Start editing on your own and have others look at it and you can also post your own work here on the blog. I will make an exception and staple it to your final draft since I know your particular situation.
ms. saidi this is my essay, please let me know what you think.
“The Green-Eyed Monster in Iago”
It is the green-eyed monster, everyone has it. In Othello, written by William Shakespeare, jealousy comes between many characters and is the pivotal tool that changes the feelings of the characters towards one another and the actions that they would later take. Iago’s jealousy impacts several characters in this play.
In Othello, revenge is seeked through the manipulation and jealous mind of Iago. He caused the death of many characters, all over a job as lieutenant. In Act I Scene 1, Iago states, “’tis the curse of service, preferment goes by letter and affection, and not by old gradation, where each second stood heir to the first.” Iago resentfully explains that he did not get a promotion because Cassio was the favorite. Jobs are not supposed to be based on favorites, but the skills for the position. Cassio gets chosen by Othello instead of Iago which causes him to use his jealousy to his advantage and leads others to their death. Iago’s jealousy impacted several characters in the play, including Cassio and Othello. He uses their weaknesses against them and cleverly brought out the worst in both characters.
One way that Iago brought out the worst of each character was with Cassio. When Iago was not selected to be the lieutenant by Othello, while Cassio was, he promised revenge on Cassio. When Iago found out that Cassio secretly loved and admired Desdemona, he went and told Othello about an affair between Desdemona and Cassio. This way he would be rewarded and Cassio would be punished because Desdemona is Othello’s wife. Othello wants his “nuptial,” wedding, to happen, so at the celebration Iago persuades Cassio, this being his plan to make Cassio look like a fool in front of everyone, to drink so that he can embarrass himself, which he did. Othello demotes him from being a lieutenant, even though he cares about him. Iago’s jealousy impacted Cassio by making him make a fool of himself, and everyone observing how bad he is, causing Iago to steal away Cassio’s job. In Act II Scene 3, Cassio and Iago were together, Cassio states that he will call the others in and exits, Iago states, “If I can fasten but one cup upon him, with that which he hath drunk to-night already, He’ll be as full of quarrel and offence as my young mistress’ dog. Now my sick fool Roderigo, whom love hath turn’d almost the wrong side out, to Desdemona hath to-night caroused potations pottle-deep.” Iago wants Cassio to drink to embarrass himself, which he does.
Othello is also a character impacted by Iago’s jealously. Iago was jealous of Othello because he had a high ranking job and a beautiful wife from an upper class family. When Iago and Cassio speak about Bianca, Iago leads Othello to believe that they were speaking about Desdemona which makes Othello angrier. Iago continues to build up Othello’s jealousy through the use of Cassio. After Iago tells Othello that, “Desdemona has slept with Cassio,” Othello becomes angry and hits Desdemona for no reason, even when she said, in Act V Scene 2, “And have you mercy too! I never did offend you in my life; never loved Cassio but with such general warranty of heaven as I might love: I never gave him token.” Desdemona means that she loves Othello and never did offend him, nor will offend him; she never loved Cassio. Causing him to strangle his wife to death and to commit suicide.
Throughout the play, Othello, it is apparent that Iago wants to seek revenge. Iago’s jealously impacted several characters actions throughout the play. It is well known that jealously is the green-eyed monster that everyone has and is a disease that will never be cured.
Ms. Saidi, i cant find textual proof on the capitalized part. Please help.
Iago leads Othello to believe that they were speaking about Desdemona which makes Othello angrier. Iago continues to build up Othello’s jealousy through the use of Cassio. After Iago tells Othello that, ->“DESDEMONA HAS SLEPT WITH CASSIO,”<-
Hey can someone help me figure out what this quote means “Despise me, if I do not. Three great ones of the city, In personal suit to make me his lieutenant, ” its on the very first page of the book.
what pg is it when Othello kill Desdemona???????…i forgot :s
Omar:
a rough pack includes like 3-5 drafts or as many as u want and an outline.
Randaa:
“Despise me, if i do not” means to hate me if i dont hate him. the rest of it means for Rod to be lieutenant…i am sure of that becuz thats what saidi told us… =)
The commercial I watched was about the iPhone3g and the site is:
~The commercial makes me feel like I HAVE to buy an iphone because of all the great apps on it. It is different, and the way the apple company persuades the viewers.
~ It accomplished the commerical by grabbing the viewers attention, and having the viewers interested in the new apple product. It is a phone, ipod, camera, etc.
the commercial i watched was about E*Trade the site is-
-This commercial just wants you to to be with E*Trade and just try it out by the two babys. I felt that how the babies talk is so cool and very realistic.
-It accomplished the commerical just about how the babies talk its very funny. By it being funny would make people want to go on the website even me to check it out.
Nebal i think thats a good commercial to use and yeah just by watching it makes you wanna get it, also it could make people jealous that they dont have that phone because you can do all thouse Apps on any other phone.
***homework needer*** (no coment on u)
…anyways..about the hw today…idk how to do it even though i looked at the other classes comments from ur latest post….i am confused!!!
WOW….that’s sad if you don’t know what that stands for/means. It’s not like we have been talking about it from the beginning of the year(since Ms. Saidi has been here)…..ya that shows that you have been listening.
Read the homepage Ashraf–I’m waiting for students to upload their videos to YouTube and then POST the links onto the website. I can’t put the video up as a file–it has to be uploaded onto YouTube first. So tell Ahmad to get on it and upload and send us the hyperlink.
Hey Ms. Saidi im glad ur still teaching and i hope u continue to teach at fordson cause u really taught us somthing and u were a really awseme teacher!!
Ms. Saidi's Classroom Blog 
Hello,
I had some few questions about the elements of fiction sheet. I did not understand the story and it did not make sense to me. So over the break, I read it again and I still did not understand it. So I was wondering if you can maybe explain it to us tomorrow in class and give everyone an extra day on the homework?
Please and Thank You goes a long way! =)
Hey Ms. Saidi
i didnt understand some parts on the elements of fiction. may you please give us an extra day 2 do it. i searched it online but that didnt help.
thankss!!!
Hey Ms. Saidi,
In Sonnet 130, I believe that Shakespeare is discussing how his girl is NOT beautiful by her appearance, nor by her soul or behavior because she was dying. I think he is trying to say that he can’t hear her anymore and is explaining how pale she looks as a ghost because she is died. When Shakespeare says,
” I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:…”
Shakespeare is telling the readers that he would love to hear her voice one more time, but he cannot because of her death, and when he says, “I grant I never saw a goddess go,” he is saying he would of never pictured the day that his lover died before him. And finally, when he says, ” My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:” he is saying that she fell to the ground, because of her weakness of dying.
~ That’s what I think after reading the sonnet.
Can you tell me more about the line: “My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.”
Break every word down and then put it in your own words for me. Thank you!!!
hey ms.saidi, on the homework for tonight when i searched famous soliloquy the results i got were “to be, or not to be” but u gave it as an example in class may i still use it?
Yes…I only gave you one line of it. Good to ask though.
hey ms.said, when i was reading the Othello book,i could barely understand some of the things said.So i was wondering maybe we can discuss it in class tomorrow? There r some words i tried to break down by using context clues and past reference but there r a few i never got.
How many times did you read it? And were you taking notes on things you DID understand (and of course things you didn’t)? Also, have you Google’d a summary of Othello? These are all ways you could help yourself.
You can read comments other students have made in other classes. One student read the Act 4 times.
hey ms.saidi,for the homework on methods of characterization for othello, can we use the whole book to help us or just act 1?
Let’s stick with just using proof from Act I for now.
Hey Ms.saidi, I was rereading Act three and i came to the part where Iago repeats the line “put money in thy purse”,i know its a metorphor but i forgot what it meant exactly.
Why don’t you google the line? Never look to me for a straight answer like that. All I’ll ever do is ask you more questions until your arrive at the answer yourself.
here is the website Ms.Saidi: http://absoluteshakespeare.com/
Hey Ms. Saidi was i supposed to read all of act one then do the worksheet? or read all of act one and two and the w.s?
Only reason I’m answering this simple question is because I know you were absent Friday: Just re-read Act I and then complete the sheet. Follow all directions and use lots of details.
alright, thanks.
Hi Ms. Saidi
For the MOC worksheat cant we describeOthellos wife (desdemona) as being brave.?
Don’t ask me–ask your peers. Post your questions on this blog and wait for one of your classmates to respond.
I’d recommend you post not only your opinion but also WHAT makes you think your opinion is correct…in other words, textual proof.
First hour, you need to be responding to one another more. Pretend I’m not available anymore.
ok!
I think desdemona is brave. thats because she stood up for her love. she told her dad that she knows he is in charge of her but she still loves othello. she says, ” i do perceive here a divided duty: To you i am bound for life and education; My life and education both do learn me how to respect you; you are the lord of duty.” SHe wasnt scared to say she loves Othello. She stood up for there love. However, she talked to her dad in a calm way.
Summary of Act 2:
Several weeks later in Cypress, Montano and several others are awaiting Othello’s arrival by bark or ship. We learn that a terrible storm has largely battered and destroyed the Turkish fleet, which no longer poses a threat to Cypress. Unfortunately there are fears that this same storm drowned Othello as well.
Montano reveals his high praise of Othello, which is shared by many. Cassio, who has arrived, sings Desdemona’s praises. A ship is spotted but it is Desdemona and Iago’s not Othello’s. Iago suspects that Cassio loves Desdemona and slyly uses it to his advantage.
Iago tells Roderigo that he still has a chance with Desdemona but Cassio whom Desdemona could love is in the way. Killing Cassio (who became Othello’s lieutenant instead of Iago) will leave Desdemona to Roderigo, Iago slyly explains.
Othello finally arrives to everyone’s great relief. Iago decides to tell Othello that Cassio is having an affair with Desdemona’s so Iago will be rewarded whilst Cassio will be punished.
A Herald announces celebration that “our noble general Othello!” has defeated the Turkish fleet, calling on all to celebrate this great triumph and also to celebrate Othello’s “nuptial” or wedding to the fair Desdemona.
Iago learns more of Cassio’s high regard for Desdemona and Iago manipulates Cassio into drinking too much since he is certain Cassio will do something he will regret.
With Cassio gone, Iago tells Montano of Cassio’s drinking problem turning Montano’s high regard for Cassio into dust. Iago also tells Roderigo to attack Cassio. This happens, and Cassio wounds Roderigo and then Montano who was trying to break up the fight.
Othello is now awake and Cassio’s name ruined.
Othello though he loves Cassio, has no choice but to demote him from his position as his lieutenant. Next Iago comforts Cassio by suggesting he speak with Desdemona who could put in a good word for him with Othello.
Iago comforts a wounded Roderigo, telling him he has won by ruining Cassio’s name. Iago has his wife Emilia ensure Desdemona and Cassio will talk so Othello can see his wife talking with Cassio, allowing Iago to convince Othello that Desdemona is being unfaithful…
yeah hi,ummmmmmmmmm,just playin i wanted to ask who is herald he came up on ACT 2 SEC 2
a royal or official messenger*(=
What do they mean by. “Her eye must be fed; and what delight shall she have to look on the devil?” i know we discussed it in class.. but i re-read it and i got confused.
i found a website that summarizes specific act and scenes u might not understand. *(=
http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/othello/section1.html
that is the website
Iago is saying how can desdamona love a devil, he is refering to othello.Othello is considerd a devil becuase his skin is colored.
Maysa whats the website??
http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/othello/section1.html
Thankss masya that helpped.
a simple summary of act 2 scene 2
a herald tells them that othello plans a party to celebrate there victory and his marriage to desdemona*(=
ACT2 SCENE 2 summary.
A messanger arrived with news that They have won the war. Some celabrated dancing, some with having bonfires , what ever the men where addicted to.But the beneficial news was the celbration of othellos and desdomonas wedding. All officers were invited.The wedding was 5pm to 11pm.
it was not a wedding it was a party they already gott marred??
oh Yeah your right becuase herald said “It is the celebration of his nuptial.” and Nuptial means marrige.
look at the summary in the website its a nice summary
Yeah Nadeen, there trying to get revenge on Othello because they think he “slept” with Emila. So they are trying to get Desdemona to “sleep” with one of the men. So Desdemona MUST get married, to who she “slept” with. I found it off this website:
http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/othello/section3.rhtml
Yeah, but why do they want revenge against a black man, Othello? Is it because she married Othello?
Ok Nebal, they are trying to get revenge against Othello because he married a white women, and he is BLACK. They are racist and jealous of Othello, and just want revenge. Thanks for the website, It helps me a lot and I understand the book a lot more clearer. 🙂
Hey Nebal, this is Saba from 4th hour, and i was just roming other classroom hours to see if they had the same ideas on what i thought. and i happened to pass this one. Iago wants revenge on Othello because Othello chose him to be his ancient, and chose Cassio to be the luetenant, and iago has been working for iago for a long time, so he thought he deserved to be his luetenant, and not the ancient. thats why iago hates othello. read page one of act one. its in the paragraph where iago speaks. Also, rodrigez despises othello because othello got the chick, desdomona, that rodrigez wanted in the first place, but brabantio brutally refused his proposal to her. Thats why they hate him. Hope that helped! Luv you=)
thanks 🙂
Oh yeah no problem Nadeen, anytime ily! And thanks for your answer, it helped me understand Act 2! 🙂 ❤
lmaooo anytimeee(;
Yeah, no problem Nebal and ILY 2! The class blog helps me understand more! 🙂 ❤
Why did you comment two times?
ay guys do we re-read wat we read today or read the next scene.?
You read the next scene.. which is Scene 2 Act 2
O sorry we finish the whole thing..act 2 scene 2 and 3
alrightt thanks alot Aya
On act 2 scene 3 wen Cassio mentions God’s above all; and there be souls must be saved, and there be souls must not be saved. Does Cassio mean by this that God chooses who lives and who doesn’t.? Then also after that he mentions that he hopes to be saved and God forgive us for our sins.! Is he saying that he regrets hating on Othello and being racist to him or what.? I’m getting a little confused by this and dont understand where hes coming from by these statements.
when cassio says “God’s above all; and there be souls must be saved, and there be souls must not be saved.” he saying there are good souls that deserve to be saved and there are bad ones that should not be saved becuase of the sins they have.
When cassio says he hopes to be saved, he says this becuase hes going to get drunk and hopes to be saved from god because of the sins he might comment while being drunk.And hes asking god to forgive them for thier sins they commit while being drunk.
i dont get it

Iago is filling Othello’s head with lies about Desdemona. Iago acts likes he Othello’s friend. Iago is a two-face.
i think iago is really smart and is going fool and ruin everyones lives, of the people he doesnt like, one by one. hes such a evil genious and is going to get wat he wants and use peoples weaknesses against them, like cassio with the alcohol.
yes, i agree with ahmad, i think iago is very smart and i do think he is gonna ruin everybody’s lives.
im predicting that iago is trying to start a problem between cassio and othello,and othello and desdemona because i think hes going to try to get cassio to sleep with desdemona or at least frame them because he secertly loves her,that way othello will get reallly angry and eventually make him do somthing he wishes he has never done[like murder].
i think its ironic how cassio keeps calling Iago honest. either cassio is saying that because he really believes it or because cassio is on to iago. i think its because cassio truely believes he is honest
YOUR SO RITE AMANDA! ITS LIKE THERE BLIND, THEY CANT SEE THE EVILNESS AND TRICKERY IN A PERSON THAT IS STANDING RITE BEFORE THERE VERY EYES.. THATS WHAT REALLLY ANNOYZ ME, YOU KNOW?
Ms. Saidi what happens if we lose our book am not saing i did but i think i left in my locker or in my 2nd hour
thats true cause iago comferd cassio in act 2 when he was drunk and told him to solove his issue ,of losing his place as a leutenent, by talking to desdemona. So he just thinks hes honest and wants to support him, but he really doesnt.
nachwa, if u payed for it, its already ur book .Youll just need to buy a new one.
oh ok thanks
i think iago is making himself look innocent and is trying to cause problems.
yeah,i agree with omar,hes causeing most of the conflict in the story.
Is there an actual play or movie for Othello?
yeah its written by william shakespear and he wrote romeo and juliet and theirs tons of plays and movies, so id say the same about othello.
Oh, okay. Just making sure Ahmed, and thanks! Anyways if anyone wants to watch the movie online just click on the site below. I found it off Ovguide.com.
http://www.watch-movies-online.tv/movies/the_tragedy_of_othello_the_moor_of_venice/
Sorry guys, its a really old movie.
And it’s not it. The real Othello movie which was made in 1995 is rated R.
u have to pay to watch this movie
lol, no not on ovguide 🙂
“Men should be what they seem; or those that be not, would they might seem none!” quote said by Iago. i think iago is trying to make it seem like he, himself the ways he acts towards othello is how he really is. but we the audience no that thats not true but the characters so far are believing his lies.
Iago is alway acting like a two face because he doesnt want anyone to know what he realy is but i agree with you Amanda
Iago is possibly the most heinous villain in Shakespeare, Iago is fascinating for his most terrible characteristic: his utter lack of convincing motivation for his actions.
i agree . but maybe his motive has yet to come. or he could be insane
Ms. Saidi i told u that othello will kill desdemona and then kill himself
hi i dont know what to say?
i think this story is all about jealousy. Everything that happend in this story was an effect of jealousy. Iago being a manipulative evil genious, is who brought this story to be interesting and caotioc. Overall, people die from his dishonesty and his cruelty. Eventhough hes a horrible person ,hes what brought this story to life and death. AND STILL DOESNT ACHIEVE ANYTHING!
Yeah, I agree with you. It’s all about jealousy and racism.
And why does the web site have today as December 11, when it’s really December 10? That’s weird…….
i dont know its always been like that?
Ms. saidi i have to write an essay for social studies and the teacher said it would be a goodd idea to have another teacher check over it for me. can i bring it to you Monday after school. it due Thursday
Of course, bring it over.
thank you*(=

You’re re-telling the story through pictures and short phrases. Here’s an example (you don’t have to be this detailed at all): http://edisonclass.wetpaint.com/page/Sample+graphic+novel+pages
Remember to ask yourself what’s the point of this assignment? It’s not graded–it’s just a way for you to check and make sure you understood the whole play. Do you understand?

Essay Question for Homework answered:
According to the Quran, when someone is accused of adultery, there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication in order for the fornicator to be punished. The testimony of two women is worth that of one man. Muslim scholars say is due to how emotional women may become. The witnessing of the act of fornication as proof related to the play, Othello by Desdemona being accused of using adultery or cheating on her husband with Cassio. The women in both the Quran and the play are more insulted or more punished for any form of adultery. It is important because, in the Muslim society, and the days during William Shakespeare, women were treated more unfairly. The status of women was similar, and it was double the punishment for a woman to cheat on her spouse. Desdemona got punished for adultery from Othello, by going through the stage of death. Muslim women would also get punished for adultery by getting murdered, or going through some other sort of punishment. I think women get double the punishment because; there is more innocence when it comes to a lady. A male doesn’t have innocence and can’t get any proof of adultery like the way a women can. The emotionality of women is a factor in their testimony by their status being lower or inferior to men. It creates the women to feel lower in society, and living in an unfair world. The emotion that the courts are trying to protect against males, and females receive more of the blame when it comes to adultery, because “two women is worth that of one man”. This is related to the play, because Othello automatically believed Iago’s rumor of Desdemona cheating on him. Then, Othello killed his wife with a lacking amount of proof. Even, though Cassio cheated on “his girl” he did not get in trouble at all, and no punishment.
so ay wat do we do on the comic strip.? we summarize the whole story in little comics.?
also is the essay for the homework suppose to me typed or can it be written?
hey Nebal, where did u find that and like Hassan said, r we supposed to do the essay for hw….if so….is it supposed to be typed or hand written b/c we werent given much info in class about it….so i dont understand it?!?!?!?!?!
wait the essay given to us today is the essay on Wednesday we r doing in class….right?!?!?!
was Emilia involved in the witnessing of the fornication???
how about Roderigo???
The Quran stays that if or when someone is accused of adultery the must be 4 witness of the actual act in order the person to be punished and 2 women are worth 1 man this connect to the play Othello by des. was accused of adultery but the olny porf they had was iago so tec. the was only 1 or 2 witness if you inculed Rod. Also it connects to the play by show that women didnt have alot of respect back in the day one porf would be that the Quran stays that 2 women are worth as 1 which mean that each woman is worth a half (if u cant do the math jk) of a men and they didnt real respect or belive the women. Another reson would be that in the play othello belived iago right away which means he didnt have alot of confidce in himslef and des. also he didnt confrent des. right away he jumped to concultions without going thought it all and having more prof. the Quran also stays punishment most punshment would be murder that if ur married if ur not then i think u r torchered am not sure anyway des. pushment was death.in the 2nd qestion it say what emotion r the courts trying to portect against? i thinkby the court they mean the main people (right) so the court is trying to state a posstion if one person does or commits adulter then there will be a pushment to both by that they are trying to theratans people with death or different thing so people wont commit these kind adultery. over all i think all of this conect ot the play Othello because iago is the only1 who pored that des. was commited adultary and the quarn stay there has to be 4 also the pushment was the same in the book because othello kills des. and that was her pushment. =)
nashwa is the essay due tommrw.?
Essay:
Like said in the Quran, there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication for the fornicator to be punished, this connects to Othello because in the story, Iago, Desdemona, Cassio, and Roderigo were witnesses of Desdemona and Cassio. It is important because without the enough truth you can not put the puzzle piece to be able to see the picture. Step by step, you will make it to the top of the staircase being able to see every detail below you.If this fornication is not seen by four people, then he/she is punished for his wring doings’ said about the fornication. The emotionality of women a factor in their testimony is more sensitive then in a mans’ perspective. This is more effected in a woman then in a man. It makes the woman feel like they are less powered then anyone in society, making them feel like they are in a lower level. The emotion courts try to protect against male and female who will face more punishment against their consequences or actions. The fact that “two women is worth that of one man” is self explanatory that the memory of two women is equal to the memory of one man. This connects to the play because with Iago telling Othello that Desdemona cheated on him by going with Cassio, the emotions and reactions Othello would have been different then if Desdemona had heard that. Desdemona would have taken it serious without thinking of past times with herself and Othello because women are more sensitive. But on the other hand, Othello did not believe Iago right away without the facts. But then he asked Desdemona for the handkerchief and without a doubt he thought Cassio had had it since Desdemona stuttered without a right away answer. Then believing it since Iago told Othello in more detail about Desdemona and Cassio. When the scene of Othello smacking Desdemona thinking she is acting as if she does not understand what Othello was saying to her. With that, her reactions were questions making Othello very emotional about what had happened. With a deficient amount of proof he kills her for doing what she did and then no later, he commits suicide.
That is my homework essay ^^^ =)
I HOPE U LIKE IT! ;]
The essay should be done just in case since it was said to be done for homework b/c it was on the board under HOMEWORK!!! ^_^
It shoud be done on the blog b/c the homework was ” Blog:Essay Question” but it did not say when it should be done so…..ya u should do it……!!!
=)
Yeah, Hassan and Maha, the essay question for homework was suppose to be posted on the blog, and I think also typed or hand written. I just copied and pasted what I wrote on the blog and printed it, so I suggest you do the same. And, I know there wasn’t that much time in class to discuss it, but I just followed her homework on the board.
Oh and good job Nashwa and Maha 🙂 !
I did the same thing and I did not know whether to print it blog it or write it so i am just going to do what u did!
THNXXX =)
THNXXX U DID GOOD TOO….BUT IT IS ALMOST 9:00 AND THERE R ONLY 3 PPL WHO ACTUALLY DID THE HW MEANING DOING IT ON THE BLOG! THATS NOT GOOD! (srry for the capitilization)

According to the Quran, when someone is accused of adultery(zinnah), there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication in order for the fornicator to be punished. Also, the testimony of two women is worth that of one man. This, some Muslim scholars say is due to how emotional women may become. The witnessing of the act of fornication as proof is related to Othello by Desdemona being accused of adultery or otherwise “cheating” on Othello with Cassio. It was important because women went through a lot of stuff and had a lot of consequences. Desdemona got punished by getting killed by Othello. Emotionality is a huge factor in their testimony because if the women was depressed and heart broken she can just give up and say she did cheat on her husband but if the women was brave and courageous she would stand up for herself and let the truth be heard. This is related to Othello because in the story when Othello hears the rumor he right away believes it and accuses Desdemona of cheating and eventually kills her. The court is trying to protect that both men and women are treated equally. This relates to Othello because when Desdemona is accused of cheating on Othello she goes through living hell but when Cassio is to be cheating on his spouse nothing happens. Thats how the passage from the Quran relates to Othello.
Even if this wasn’t for homework this still helped me understand the book a little better and how it can relate to the world, art & literature, and self. Can we try relating Othello to another passage or thing tomorrow it would help us understand it better. Especially if we haven’t finished the book yet. Thanks
well, we did finish the book, but it was difficult understanding at some points so that is a good idea!
:]
hey Hassan, dont forget to print it out just in case Ms.Saidi asks for it!
yupp and yeah i forgot thanks(:
np =)
According to the Quran, the holy book of muslims, when someone is accused of adultery, there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication in order for the fornicator to be punished. also, the testimony of two women is worth that of one man. The witnessing of the act of fornication is realated to Othello because Desdemona was accused of cheathing on her husband with Cassio. During this time, women were treated unfairly. The Quran says there must be four witnesses, but in the story Othello Iago was the only one that said desdemona was cheating on othello. another reason was thaat othello didnt actually sit and discuss this situation with desdemona. he suddenly believe Iago and turned against his wife.
The emotionality of women is a factor in their testimony because women at that time were inferrior to men. this makes women feel unfair and different than men. i believe that if desdemona and othello actually sat and talked about this sittuation they would get a conclusion other than death.
hey Aya u might want to print it out also! =)
why? i mean wut do u mean on a document?
yes! just in case she asks for it!
Ohh ok thanks:)
Ms.Saidi my microsoft word somehow got deleted and all i have is wordpad and im not sure how to setup all the requirements so im just going to print out the paper the way it is.
hey just put it into wordpad the samething happened to me about the microsoft, it wouldnt print. but just copy and past it into wordpad and print it…
and ur welcome Aya!
i dont get what i have 2 do 4 the essay having to do with the Quran……
wut am i supposed to do for letter a and b????
you can write it how ever u want 2
According to the Quran, the holy book of muslims, when someone is accused of adultery, there must be four witnesses who actually witnessed the actual act of fornication in order for the fornicator to be punished. Also, the testimony of two women is worth that of one man. The witnessing of the act of fornication is realated to Othello by it being unrelated. Othello would of been better knowing shari’a law if he were muslim because he couldnt trust just trust one guy,Iago, thats saying all these untruthful lies about his wife,Desdemona, and best friend,Cassio.This would of made of made him look and be more smarter and more careful. Othello was trusting Iago about all these about Cassio and Desdemona having an affair. For example, Iago made up that he saw Cassio was wiping his beard with the hankerchief, given to othello by his mother. Iago knowing that Othello will get extremely mad, he almost belived Cassio was having an affair with Desdemona. Which leads to Othello wanting to kill Desdemona from his dissapointment and anger, and Iago to kill Cassio. He kills her through stranglation and didnt belive his wife he loved, even when she said,” I never did offend you in my life;never loved cassio” in act 5 scene 1,which means she never hurt nor hurt othello in her life and never loved cassio. Eventually he finds out what happens and that all the untruthful jealousness of Iago, which leads to Othello to kill himself.
Can u guys tell me the 2nd ? i lost my paper
part b) why is the emotionality of women a factor in their testimony? what emotion are the courts trying to protect against? how is this related to the play? Be specific and use details.
letter b on the slip of paper for the quran
THANKS AYA 🙂
can u explain it
not the anwser the question PLEASE
can we retake the test
Talk to me tomorrow after class, Hadi.
Ms. Saidi, my rough draft is still with you, and I need it to look at it and correct it. I also need to staple it with my final draft before school starts. What should I do?
You should have it saved onto your computer. Some students were able to get to my class before they left.
Anyway, I did have comments on it and due to the situation, you won’t have them to look at. Start editing on your own and have others look at it and you can also post your own work here on the blog. I will make an exception and staple it to your final draft since I know your particular situation.
Ms. saidi i wanted to know if it was okay to rite 6 paragraphs instead of 5 ,?
Okay, thanks.
yeah maysa ,ms. saidi told me that would be better
ms. saidi this is my essay, please let me know what you think.
“The Green-Eyed Monster in Iago”
It is the green-eyed monster, everyone has it. In Othello, written by William Shakespeare, jealousy comes between many characters and is the pivotal tool that changes the feelings of the characters towards one another and the actions that they would later take. Iago’s jealousy impacts several characters in this play.
In Othello, revenge is seeked through the manipulation and jealous mind of Iago. He caused the death of many characters, all over a job as lieutenant. In Act I Scene 1, Iago states, “’tis the curse of service, preferment goes by letter and affection, and not by old gradation, where each second stood heir to the first.” Iago resentfully explains that he did not get a promotion because Cassio was the favorite. Jobs are not supposed to be based on favorites, but the skills for the position. Cassio gets chosen by Othello instead of Iago which causes him to use his jealousy to his advantage and leads others to their death. Iago’s jealousy impacted several characters in the play, including Cassio and Othello. He uses their weaknesses against them and cleverly brought out the worst in both characters.
One way that Iago brought out the worst of each character was with Cassio. When Iago was not selected to be the lieutenant by Othello, while Cassio was, he promised revenge on Cassio. When Iago found out that Cassio secretly loved and admired Desdemona, he went and told Othello about an affair between Desdemona and Cassio. This way he would be rewarded and Cassio would be punished because Desdemona is Othello’s wife. Othello wants his “nuptial,” wedding, to happen, so at the celebration Iago persuades Cassio, this being his plan to make Cassio look like a fool in front of everyone, to drink so that he can embarrass himself, which he did. Othello demotes him from being a lieutenant, even though he cares about him. Iago’s jealousy impacted Cassio by making him make a fool of himself, and everyone observing how bad he is, causing Iago to steal away Cassio’s job. In Act II Scene 3, Cassio and Iago were together, Cassio states that he will call the others in and exits, Iago states, “If I can fasten but one cup upon him, with that which he hath drunk to-night already, He’ll be as full of quarrel and offence as my young mistress’ dog. Now my sick fool Roderigo, whom love hath turn’d almost the wrong side out, to Desdemona hath to-night caroused potations pottle-deep.” Iago wants Cassio to drink to embarrass himself, which he does.
Othello is also a character impacted by Iago’s jealously. Iago was jealous of Othello because he had a high ranking job and a beautiful wife from an upper class family. When Iago and Cassio speak about Bianca, Iago leads Othello to believe that they were speaking about Desdemona which makes Othello angrier. Iago continues to build up Othello’s jealousy through the use of Cassio. After Iago tells Othello that, “Desdemona has slept with Cassio,” Othello becomes angry and hits Desdemona for no reason, even when she said, in Act V Scene 2, “And have you mercy too! I never did offend you in my life; never loved Cassio but with such general warranty of heaven as I might love: I never gave him token.” Desdemona means that she loves Othello and never did offend him, nor will offend him; she never loved Cassio. Causing him to strangle his wife to death and to commit suicide.
Throughout the play, Othello, it is apparent that Iago wants to seek revenge. Iago’s jealously impacted several characters actions throughout the play. It is well known that jealously is the green-eyed monster that everyone has and is a disease that will never be cured.
Ms. Saidi, i cant find textual proof on the capitalized part. Please help.
Iago leads Othello to believe that they were speaking about Desdemona which makes Othello angrier. Iago continues to build up Othello’s jealousy through the use of Cassio. After Iago tells Othello that, ->“DESDEMONA HAS SLEPT WITH CASSIO,”<-

Can we have comma splices in our essay
The commercial I watched was about the iPhone3g and the site is:
~The commercial makes me feel like I HAVE to buy an iphone because of all the great apps on it. It is different, and the way the apple company persuades the viewers.
~ It accomplished the commerical by grabbing the viewers attention, and having the viewers interested in the new apple product. It is a phone, ipod, camera, etc.
the commercial i watched was about E*Trade the site is-
-This commercial just wants you to to be with E*Trade and just try it out by the two babys. I felt that how the babies talk is so cool and very realistic.
-It accomplished the commerical just about how the babies talk its very funny. By it being funny would make people want to go on the website even me to check it out.
Nebal i think thats a good commercial to use and yeah just by watching it makes you wanna get it, also it could make people jealous that they dont have that phone because you can do all thouse Apps on any other phone.
