A Beautiful Lie

        

            

Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different? (Different…)
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
’Cause this is just a game

It’s a beautiful lie
It’s a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful lie makes me

It’s time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last (happened last)
Hide behind an empty face
Don’t ask too much, just say
‘Cause this is just a game

It’s a beautiful lie
It’s a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful lie makes me

Lie….Beautiful

Everyone’s looking at me
I’m running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation’s building higher
I’ve got to remember this is just a game

(LLLLLIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE)So beautiful, beautiful… X4

It’s a beautiful lie —
It’s a perfect denial —(So beautiful, beautiful)
Such a beautiful lie to believe in —
So beautiful, beautiful lie makes me

 Sometimes song haves different meaning for those ho listen to it. The song I choose is A Beautiful Lie, from 30 seconds to mars. I decide to use this song because they are my favorite band and the song also has a great message.

              This song talks about freedom and change; the beautiful lie. This beautiful lie is a dream, in this dream we can life a perfect life with out the bad things that are happening at that moment.  We can change; we can be how we want.  We can also do things to change the world, this is a very important  part of the meaning of the song too because using this song the are trying to make us create  conscience about the global warming because we cant life always in a beautiful lie (our dreams). We have to change now, that is what the song is telling us. If we change now we can life a beautiful life not a beautiful lie.

                When the song stars the sound is slow like if we were in an empty room, kind of sadness we can feel, then they sound change to a stronger one is like a strong emotion. Then when the singer starts to sing the sound turns into a mix of both sounds. I think that this made the audience feels the sadness but determination of what the singer is singing about. When he said a beautiful lie he scream and the sound is huge, in that point the singer emphasis consist.

Othello Play: Character Analysis

         Shakespeare characters are interesting and have their own goals and working structure, but it was not hard to me to make a decision of what character I would describe. Iago was the one that capture the attention of the audience more. I chose this character because he acts or the way he acts is similar to many people nowadays, too bad but truly, I must say. Other thing that caught my attention about this character was that he is the only one or the most that makes soliloquies in the play. Iago is such an interesting character; you can perceive it all along while you get involved in the play. The Jealousy that Iago feels against the Moor and his desire of revenge motivate him to become a delightful villain. A villain always is focused in reach whatever his goal is, no matter what he has to do. Sometimes the motivations of a villain are revenge, make money or just a desire. In the next dialogue of Iago we can see this exposed and an Iago focused just in getting revenge. “I hate the Moor: my cause is hearted; thine hath no less reason. Let us be conjunctive in our revengeagainst him: if thou canst cuckold him, thou dost thyself a pleasure, me a sport.”- Othello play

            Iago knows villain business very well, that is well demonstrated in every move that he made, like when he make the plan to kill Michael Cassio and when Roderigo is fighting with  Michael,  Igo goes and hurt Michael and then return to the scene calling for help; he is playing both sides without problem . When he said to Roderigo “thou dost thyself a pleasure, me a sport” he is telling us that he likes the way he is acting, he enjoys being villain and this is demonstrated in this other dialogue “Thus do I ever make my fool my purse:For I mine own gain’d knowledge should profane, If I would time expend with such a snipe. But for my sport and profit”.

         One of the things that make him a good villain is his extraordinary way to persuade others. “Put money in thy purse; follow thou the wars; defeat thy favour with a usurped beard; I say, put money in thy purse. It cannot be that Desdemona should long continue her love to the Moor, put money in thy purse,–nor he his to her: it was a violent commencement, and thou shalt see an answerable sequestration:–put butmoney in thy purse”. This dialogue of Iago demonstrates the way he persuades and convinces another character of the play. He convinces him to give him money and follow him in every plan that he makes, Iago make him the promise that he will help him to reach what he want, but that just a lie to make him thrust him and this way reach his own goals. He uses people and takes advantage of them to achieve their goals. By this way of acting we can think that he was a supporter of the phrase “En la guerra y en el amor todo se vale” because he does not care if he has to pass trough others, even his wife, to get what he wants.

         Other thing that develops the villain image of Iago is that he doesn’t love anyone; he does not even feel piety for the people around him, even when he kills her wife, he does not feel any guilty. He is a selfish man, seeking to take possession of what he think, is rightfully for him. For Iago doing all the things he does to reach their goals is like a game that he has to win.

        Iago was smart doing huge plans and thinking strategies, but he doesn’t develop his knowledge enough to think about the consequences of his acts. His jealousy does not make him    realize all the horrible things he was making and the destruction that those acts created. His revenge was completed, but he paid a price for that.  He was a villain until the end; for all the things he ends like he deserved.

     People say that William Shakespeare is the greatest writer in the English Language, and I must agree. Othello is such a great dramatic and tragic creation made by William Shakespeare. This play have many interesting characters, whit his owns goals that combined made this play work in a brilliant way.  I was not hard to me to make a decision of what character was the best.  Like I said before every character was interesting and has his own working structure, but it was one that capture my attention more.  The character I chose is Iago. I choose this character because I thing he acts or the way he acts is similar to many people in our time, to bad but truly I must say. Other thing that attract my attention about this character was that he is the only one ore the most that makes soliloquies in the play.

  

      Iago is such a delightful character; you can perceive it as a long you get involved in the play. He knows his business very well.  Iago is the villain of this tragic history. It is a very astute person and with an extreme ability to persuade others. He uses people and takes advantage of them to achieve their goals. I think he was a supporter of the phrase “En la guerra y en el amor todo se vale”. Iago does not care if he has to pass trough others, even his wife, to get what he wants. He was smart doing huge plans and thinking strategies, but he was not smart enough to think about the consequences of his acts. His jealousy does not make him realize all the horrible things he was making, that is why he ends like he deserved.    

My English

   

 

 

        I remember when I was a child; I spend all day at my grandmother’s house until my mother came from work. One day my grandmother bought a cable TV Box and I spend all day watching TV. I think that was the first time I had a real contact with English language. I started to see Disney channel and all the kids programs in English and I like it. Then on my brother birthday, my mother bought him a Nintendo with a few games, all in English. I don’t really understand what was written or what they said in the game but I associated the words with the actions. Like for example: press the red button to reach level 1. I didn’t know what a button was but I know colors so is red so that’s means that the thing red is called button. That way I learned my first English stuff. Then I went to school and started to learn and improve my knowledge.

        I remember the games that the teacher used to makes us learn the colors and numbers. In middle school I was more in to the language. I also make a few school plays in this language. That was very exciting and challenging for me. My English status in high school was dead. I had a very, no, a extremely poor education in this language. Was until twelve grade that I started to relive my English education, but then my teacher suffered a brain stroke and the class was shut down for like tree weeks and then just give us very easy homework’s. Is now in the Colegio when I feel like I’m really learning this language. When I entered  the Colegio I was really upset because I  had to take the pre-basic English curse. I mean I wasn’t really that bad in the language. But went I took the curse I realize that was a good to refresh my knowledge and fix those things that I mess up when I use this language.

      Currently I use English everyday, I really like this language. My cell phone is in English, I watch English TV series, I like to surf the internet and even that I’m not one hundred percent bilingual I like to talk with people from others places, like Canada and UK. That helps me improve my writing and speaking skills, well even my social skills and is a good way to know new people and make new friends. Other thing that makes me be active using my English is my summer class that is English and the reason that I’m writing this essay.

       I know for sure that I will need to know English perfectly to have a good opportunity in my life. As soon I finish my bachelor degree Ill study laws and became a good lawyer, at the same time I want to take some acting classes, because acting is what really passionate me. To reach my goals I have to know and understand English perfectly, because this language is the key for success.
