Artist: Eminem
Song: Loose yourself
Album:

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up, over bloah
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap s**t
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo,

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,

His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
These ho's don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go-o
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo, you better

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this m*********n roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these g****m food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pheiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between bein a father and a pre-madonna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only m*********n option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not this may be the only opportunity that I got

[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
` You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Homework Essay #1

Othello, The Moore of Venice is a drama written by William Shakespeare. In this play Shakespeare produce many characters with different shade and contrast. In his play he presents some important values or moral principles like love, friendship, justice and loyalty. Also he contrast those values already mention with treason, jealousy, envy and vengeance. One of the characters most exotic and best elaborated by Shakespeare was Iago. He is the villain character in Othello`s play. Iago is motivated by the hate that he fell toward Othello. Also Iago fell envy toward Cassio. This villain character takes advantage of the situation, manipulate it and cheat everybody for his own benefit.

The play begins in Venice were Roderigo is annoyed with Iago. Roderigo is in love with Desdemona. Iago tells him that he is goes to help him with her in exchange of money. The treatment that Iago is making with Roderigo tells us how is the personality of Iago; he is ambitious and he takes advantage of any circumstance. In the same conversation with Roderigo, Iago says that Othello give the position of lieutenant (the position that Iago wants) to Cassio who only knows theory about war and does not have any experience in the battle field. This situation makes a sense of resentment and hate from Iago toward Othello and Cassio. For this reason is that Iago wants take vengeance to Othello and Cassio.
Iago is the only characters that have small monologues in were he ventilates what he fell. In the ends of first act Iago end with a monologue where he give another reason that he have to hate Othello. The reason is that “Othello is making his job under his sheets”. This means that Iago knows the rumor that Othello is having sex with his wife Emilia. This rumor is totally false but Iago does not know.

Iago achieve to convince Cassio to drink. Them Cassio have a fight with Montano and when Othello comes Iago says that Montano was peaceful. Them Iago talks with Cassio and give to him a counsel. After this incident Othello makes Iago lieutenant. But Iago not stop his vengeance because he still feeling the hate and envy. Know he wants more; he wants the attention that Othello have.

The hate that Iago fell toward Othello makes him create an evil plan in where he includes his wife Emilia. Iago achieve with this plan making fell jealousy Othello and he lost in the anger that her wife is unfaithful he kill her and when he knows the truth he kills him self.

The wickedness and tyranny of Iago was the central role of this play motivated by the hate against Othello. He was an egocentric person; he wants to be more making the others to be less. Also the theme of racism is implicit in this play when Iago refers to Othello as the thicker lip but this is not what motivates Iago because the racism was common in that time . With everything that Iago made he did not achieve that he wanted, to be famous as Othello.

The villain character Iago in Othello

When I read Othello, a tragic drama from William Shakespeare, the characters that more impress me was Iago. He was the villain of the drama. This character represent many bad things like envy, treason, jealous, he was definitely a person without scruple.

In the beginning of the play Iago was with Rodrigo and Iago tells to him that he is going to help him Desdemona. All this in trade of money. There is when start the treason start because Desdemona was Othello`s girlfriend and Iago make to think to Othello that he was his friend. Iago make a plan where he betrays the trust of Cassio and Othello. In the end the plan doesn`t work. The plan of Iago was the most sinister plan that I never read. I thought how a person that is intelligent, have a good position (he was senator) can let him go for his envy to Othello because he was superior. Iago was egoist because he does not care the life and suffer of other people only himself.

When I read I put myself in the place of Iago and think in what has motivated him for do what he do. I think that he maybe was racist because Othello was Moore and in those time to be racist was common. But the argument that most convince me for what he does is the envy for Othello. We have to learn from this play to control better ours elf.

“My English”
My story of English is a little frustrating because I am one of those person that has been taken course of English for twelve years in public school and don’t learn to speak English correctly. I am not saying the fault is from the system of public school or the teacher that it have. Just let me say in those years the English was not my interest. I did not think that learning English was very important to me. In fact I used to think that I only needed the Spanish in all my life.
When I start my first year in the university I crash whit the reality. All the texts book are in English, even I had to take some class in English. Then I became to feel an interest for expand my English vocabulary and start not only to read, even write and speak English with more fluency. I was decided to learn English and I began to see the television and all the movies with English subtitle. And I start to read all in English without translating to Spanish. At the beginning was a little hard but eventually I began to make less effort to understand what I was reading. And now I read considerably fast my English lecture.
In this moment I don’t speak very well in English and to make it puts me very nervous. Now I think English or another language with demand is important if I want to be a professional. I want to be a doctor, in this field know English is vital and offer more opportunity.
