“Happy Together” is a song of the ends sixties, play by an American group called The Turtles. This song has been used since its launch in many films. The main theme of the song is love, how serious a man’s life, whether love of a woman was at his side. The song is composed of nine stanzas of which three are choirs. Each verse of the song is divided with the words “Happy Together” something interesting, we can say that this sentence is the solution of all the things that the verse refers. The rhyme of the song varies from stanza to stanza, but we can note as most of the words have rhymes with end -er, e, u-. One thing interesting for me, which is in the last chorus, is not like other because the only word that is used-BA-. Perhaps we can say that is onomatopoeia and imitating the sound of a person “embobao” on the other.

Homework Essay #1

When we speak of a tragedy we can say that it is an incident in which a person experiences a traumatic event. In the play Othello the Moor of Venice written by William Shakespear in 1603 we see a story full of betrayal, bitterness, jealousy, ambition and manipulation. These events combined have a tragic ending. The manipulation in this play is a key factor and very interesting because we can see how greed and ambition of a man can appeal to this sense regardless of its consequences. A character affected by the manipulation of the play Othello the Moor of Venice is Roderigo. Despite feelings for the love of a woman were able to Roderigo to an act unchecked, not pretend to be bad person. In a few words Roderigo is a character unbridled love of a woman and for that reason is manipulated by a man, driving a history full of jealousy, betrayal and ambition with an unexpected ending.

When a man seeks a woman not always do the right decision. Roderigo is an example of this, and their actions can be seen through the works of Shakespear. When we think of a person obssessed we can think of the character of Roderigo. In the first act of the play Roderigo goes home from Venice Brabacio counselor and father of Desdémona to inform him that his daughter had married the Moor Othello. At first Brabancio thought that this was another of the incistencias of Roderigo to conquer Desdémona. He tells these words: ¨Them worser welcome: I have charged thee not to haunt about my doors: In honest plainness thou hast heard me say My daughter is not for thee; and now, in madness, Being full of supper and distempering draughts, Upon malicious bravery, dost thou come
To start my quiet.¨ This reaction was expected as a person Roderigo was very insistent.

Jealousy may be the worst enemy of man. In the course of the play Roderigo express jealousy on different occasions. One of these moments occurs when Roderigo goes to Brabancio house to inform them about the hidden marriage to Desdemona with Othello. Roderigo felt jealousy of Othello because achieving the goal that he was more craved, to get married with Desdemona. Iago, the alleged friend of Roderigo and the evil of the play, tells Roderigo that the love of Desdemona and Othello was a passenger. Iago, the alleged friend of Roderigo and the works of evil, tells Roderigo that the love of Desdemona and Othello was a passenger. He also wanted to convince Roderigo that Othello was much higher than Desdemona and he was Moro, reason enough for any suitor in Venice was better than Othello. Roderigo believed the lie of Iago. One of these lies was to make believe Roderigo that Casio, right hand of Othello, had a romance with Desdemona. In the second act Roderigo is jealous of Casio. This jealousy can be seen when Roderigo leads to Casio in Cyprus, causing distrust of Othello to Casio. The jealousy of Roderigo blinded him, increasingly in the play.

This character represents as a weak human being can be adversely affected. In the case of Roderigo these weaknesses are presented in feelings such as jealousy, greed and selfishness. I think that Roderigo was so eager to fulfil their greed to be blinded in the moment when he accepted be part of a murder. In conclusion Roderigo was a character used by Iago to fulfil their evil desires.

The tragedy of Othello is one of the few works tragic that I could read it without takeoff. The character that I chose within the play was Roderigo. Roderigo is a Venetian gentleman, friend of Iago that uses him for their evil plans and hopeful suitor to Desdemona.

At the beginning of the work we see as Roderigo driven by jealousy goes to the house of Brabancio, father of Desdemona, and informs him about the wedding of his daughter Desdemona with the Moor Othello, which was not approved by Brabancio. Other success of the work was the evils plans of Iago, which used Roderigo involving him in a murder. Roderigo is trick by him, he thinks that Casio is an obstacle to conquer Desdemona, accepts, but fails to kill him. Roderigo stabbed by Iago, dies before confessing the truth. Also is revealed in the work that Roderigo writes letters confessing the plans of Iago for Othello. This play an important role, as a result of this is discovered the truth about the evil fillings of Iago.

I chose this character because it represents as a weak human being can be adversely affected. In the case of Roderigo these weaknesses are presented in feelings such as jealousy, greed and selfishness. I think that Roderigo was so eager to fulfil their greed to be blinded in the moment when he accepted be part of a murder. In conclusion Roderigo was a character used by Iago to fulfil their evil desires.

My English

Many persons not know the important of the English language in their lives. The English language is a universal idiom, with that all the people can communicate in any places of the word. In Puerto Rico many persons not know this, and I was one of those people. But this thinking is different now.

Since my elementary education in the English I had a really problem in the auditory and oral development. I think that I am a product of the vast majority of students with poor English language in the schools teaching. Classes are based on English grammar and not develop the communication of oral language. This affects me, causing fear and isolation to learning English. This thinking does not change until recently.

After university and in my first years of this, I never think that in my life the English was a bridge that gives me more opportunities of a better work. For this reason I must more interest for this language and for his big knowledge. Now I have less difficult, but their still be a problem that I have to solve. I am not afraid of how difficult it’s the learning. Because I agree that it will be a tool in combination with my bachelor of Civil Engineering for offer to me a better future.

Current in our society we live a very high rate filled with new knowledge and experiences. To step into this open society we know everything that makes us part of it. The language is the main form of communication and is the main tool for accept in a new society. We know that the English is the universal language. For this reason we have to learning it, to have a better social development. Personally, one of my goals is to dominate the English language, I know this help me in the future.
