The process my group took into finishing up the script for our play on deception was time consuming. The things that I was responsible for got done. like  finishing up the last Act of the script. I had to go on sparknotes to get the sense that express our groups theme. Then I  copied and paste it to the Google Docs under the sections that I was responsible for. Everybody in my group put some working time on the script by reading, and going to sparknotes to copy and paste it to our Google Docs.

The success in our group was when it was time to deliver we did. Like for example, when the final script was do we did not talk or fool around. But instead we stayed in the class and did some reading and collaborating with one another to get an image of how the out come of the play was going to turn out. The difficult task in our group that is still not done is we do not have an opening for the play. The person responsible for the opening part of the play has been missing for some time so we do not have an opening for the play.

The editing methods we used was Will because he is the group’s manger.  He was going through an editing the script. The task that Will gave us as far as editing was to go back to our Google Doc and edited things out like for example, if we copied and paste a whole act from Othello we would get the most important thing from the act that highlights the message we are trying to send out to our audience. The reason why we had to edited a lot of things out was when we printed out our script it was about 28 pages.  We did not have enough time to act out a 28-page script in 7 minutes because we were only allowed 7 minutes to act out our theme.

My understanding about Othello is he is gullible. The reason why I think that is he believed all the lies that Iago was telling him about his wife. The other thing that puzzles me is that Othello is a suppose to be a military general and when I think about that military people are not that easy to crack. But Othello is supposed to be the person in charge but that was not the case. It seem that Iago was mad at Othello for not getting that lieutenant position. Which at the end cause Othello to lose everything like himself and him killing his wife.

        To get a better understanding of Othello I read a scholarly article on http://www.answers.com/topic/othello-play-7 titled Othello (Criticism) written by Andrews Henningfeld a English professor at Adrian College that writes about literature for educational publishers. Henningfeld writes “In believing himself welcome in Brabantio's home, he has also believed himself worthy of Brabantio's daughter..”  It seem everything was bond for destruction for Othello because Othello was not of the same race. He thought he can come into a society that operates differently and do as he please with no consequence because of his social status.

       In the play Othello the only person that was the smartest was the Duke because it says “Thus, the second reason that the duke recognizes Othello's marriage to Desdemona becomes clear. Venice needs Othello to go to Cyprus to quell the imminent danger from the Turks. Giving Othello a Venetian woman becomes a form of payment for Othello's service. Moreover, because Othello wants Desdemona with him, the duke is able to remove the rebellious element from Venetian society. He is able, in this move, to accomplish several goals: he can pay off the Moor in female flesh, a bargain for all the Venetians save Brabantio; he can protect his city-state from the Turks by sending the best soldier to lead the battle; and he can isolate Desdemona from other women of Venice who might be encouraged to form their own alliances with prospective husbands, thus depriving their fathers of their rightful marriage profits.”  The duke has no repayment for Othello and on top of that Desdemona’s father can not appeal the Duke’s will because the Duke is looked about of the person that makes the final decisions in important matters. 

         In my group we have a lot of catching up to do. First, we have to get a rough draft script in by today. What my team and I did so far was upload our assigned Acts and Sense on the Google Docs. At first we had nothing on the Google Docs do to some complications of communication some of my group members wrote things on paper and on a Word Doc but never got the chance to upload it so we were behind on that. Now, we plan to get a rough draft in but one of our groups members is not here she will be back on Thursday I think.    

         One of the successes so far is the most important that is getting things uploaded on the Google Docs and also everyone is contributing to the workload. The difficult thing about working in a group is that everybody is assigned different task to complete and when a person is not there we all suffer. Like for example, when we are making decisions on a simple thing like editing the other person is not there to put their opinion in. In addition, if they were responsible for a certain Act or Sense that we did not understand it would be real helpful for them to be there and explain it to us so we wouldn’t edited out something important that they had work.

        The choice we picked in editing is not yet determined because we do not have a complete rough draft done. But if we were done the steps we would take on editing the script is we would first list the most important things in each Acts and Sense and then put them in somewhat of chorological order in it goes on from there that highlights our theme.  

         Our understanding of the plot is somewhat in order the important characters involve Iago, Roderigo, Desdemona, Othello, and Cassio. Iago is the one going around lying to the our characters which will result in them destroying each other. While Iago is taking great pride in what he is doing while at the same time making himself look innocent and drawing away suspensions about his true nature. But it’s sad to say we are not up to that yet because we do not have a script done yet.  

For this last quarter benchmark we are reading a Shakespeare play called Othello. Mr. Chase then assigned the tasks like he usually does. What we are going to be doing is we have to get in groups of four then pick a theme that the novel play expresses. Our group theme for the play is deception . Then we have to pick out important events in the Othello that shows deception. My task is read the Act five sense one and two Act three sense four Act four sense one. I already read Act three sense four and I am going to be reading Act four sense one to pick out important events. Everybody in my group is doing the same thing am doing but their just assigned different Acts and Sense to cover all fifth-teen senses in the play. One problem that my group and I had was that we were lazy at first we really did not upload things to the Google Docs when we were suppose to. Yeah, about the editing part we are not up to that yet but we will ASAP. So far the plot of our play is going to be base on deception and my group and I need to further collaborate to see how the understanding plot is going to come about.  

My ILP is at Sterlin Glen Assistant Living. Sterlin Glen is basically a place for Senior that have retired. The senior get to be be independent and do everything on their on unlike a nursing home where  the seniors need aid on their daily actives. So far what I did at Sterlin Glen was I would come every Wednesday and help out. Like for example, I would play BINGO with the seniors, I would also help decorate when it’s a holiday like for example Halloween. To conclude what I did was I just help out with the activities. The things that I have learned while being an intern there was that people are very different in many ways, like for example, when you get old you tend to talk a lot and view life and a different way. The seniors there where very surprise when I told them that I went to a high school where all the students had laptops.

( Not Done)    

People I thought at first, Othello was a play that would get me bored real fast, but the truth is that play/book is actually good. When I think about Othello I think about this absolutely magnificent crime thats about to happen. Have ever heard the saying " You can never commit a Perfect Crime." Well I kind of disagree with that statement because when you read Othello you have a character like Iago which is this guy which is a mad man that is going around and betraying people and using them for his own sick deeds. The thing that festinates me is the way he does it for example, he would make himself  appear like something his not. When he is with Othello he comes off as this loyal under rank soldier which will follow his general till the end. That really not the case because he really hates Othello for not giving him the lieutenant position. As I read this play it showed me something if you get somebody mad to a certain point they can really mess up your life and you wouldn't evening. Instead of the saying " Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." For this play I think that saying should be reversed to " Keep your enemies close and your friends closer." The reason, why I say that is if you have a friend you have no reason to not trust that because thats a person you can relate to. The twist is that someone can pretend to be you
