Jacob Ronkiewicz ronek22 — Okk, I seem to be on a SEAL kick. However, this book picked up where the Warrio Elite ended. This book follows one of the graduates of class 228 on an expedition to Afghanistan where he and his team are ambushed and he is the sole survivor. Harbored by friendly Afghans and shielded from the Taliban, this story recounts his recovery process and eventual rescue.

Vladislav Troshin troshin — I think this is my favorite Shakespeare play, and it mainly has to do with Iago. His character, who is pure evil, is also purely fascinating. Watching him hatch his plot and seeing how is able to manipulate the minds of others is mesmorizing. I stand amazed, impressed, at a character whose actions are deplorable. I find this clash between hating Iago and respecting him, how one is able to simultaneously do both, a testament to Shakespeare's ability. No one touches Shakespeare. Ever. In any field (art, music, architecture, you name it). If you are born an English speaker, rejoice, for you can read Shakespeare. Some interesting things stood out this time through the play. There is so, so much Christian imagry in this play. Iago annouces "I am not what I am" (1.1.63) right at the start of the play. Let's remember that in Shakespare's time people's intellectual references were much more shared - everyone knew the Bible. This is the direct opposite of the Old Testament's "I am who I am," and that would have definately perked ears at his time. [As a side note, it's sad that in this period of time, with greater access to intellectual treasures than ever before, we don't have shared intellectual reference points anymore that revolve around books. Now it's TV shows and movies. To quote Fight Club, the question of our generation is "what's that from?"] OK, let me get off my soap box and get back to Shakespeare. Iago represents a demonic figure and he is just way too clever and calculating for anyone to catch on until it's too late. Christian imagry is used throughout the play, but I think it is not really believed. Let me explain. Shakespeare didn't believe in heaven or hell, but he fills this play full of relgious imagry and references in order to demonstrate how people avoid responsibility for their actions by getting on a crooked knee and whispering words to the clouds. This might not be the main point of the play, but it's there, and very interesting to note. Another thing that I think Shakespare introduces in order to quietly mock is the whole "against nature" accusation. Christians love claiming things that make them uncomfortable (the gays, interacial couples, etc) are against nature, natural law, human nature, call it what you will. But what does this mean? How is it that you are judge of what is "natural?" To claim something is against nature is an argument from authority, and it rings pretty hollow. The main thing that is against nature here is Othello and Desdemona, as he is black and she is white. Many characters claim it is against nature when of course it isn't. Ironic that it turns so horrible because than the against nature crowd can say told you so, but it's an issue worth considering. Why is Iago so good? Well, for one, once he makes up his mind for something, he follows through with it. He decides a course of action and then follows it until it ends. He has perserverace one could say. Secondly, his method of convincing people is brilliant. He doesn't just walk up to Othello and say, hey, guess what, your wife is having an affair. Rather he just places little clues and hints in order to lead Othello to this conclusion. One is much more likey to follow an idea that you think is your own, which is why Iago is careful to make sure Othello is the one who first declares she is having an affair. Iago also showcases an interesting division between appearance and motivation. He seems so duteous, loving, and honest.I was amazed at how many times he is described as "honest." He shows us that you cannot trust appearance, that it is possible to seem one way when you are actually another. Perhaps the tendency to be viewed as someone believable when you are not is a bit of a curse, as it allows you to get away with so much more than someone who seems sketchy. Hmmmm. Quotes In following him I follow but myself Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty, But seeming so, for my peculiar end; For when my outward action doth demonstrate The native act and figure of my heart In complement extern, 'tis not long after But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve For daws to peck at; I am not what I am. -Iago 1.1.56-63 I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are making the beast with two backs. 1.1.113 To fall in love with what she feared to look on!... Against all rules of nature, and must be driven To find out practices of cunning hell Why this should be. -Brabantio 1.3.100 My story being done, She gave me for my pains a world of kisses... She loved me for the dangers I had passed, And I loved her that she did pity them. This only is the witchcraft I have used. -Othello 1.2.165 For you sake, jewel, I am glad at soul I have no other child, For thy escape would teach me tyranny, To hang clogs on them. -Brabantio 1.3.195 The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief. -Duke 1.3.200 It is merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the will. Come, be a man! Drown thyself? Drown cats and blind puppies! -Iago 1.3.330 Lay thy finger thus [puts his finger to his lips] and let thy soul be instructed. -Iago 2.1.220 For I do suspect the lusty Moor Hath leaped into my seat; the thought wherof Doth, like a poisonous mineral, gnaw my inwards; And nothing can or shall content my soul Till I am evened with him, wife for wife. -Iago 2.1.295 Not tonight, good Iago. I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking; I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment. -Cassion 2.2.30 Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation, Iago, my reputation...O God, that men should put an enemy in thie mouths to steal away their brains! that we should with joy, pleasance, revel, and applause transform ourselves into beasts! -Cassio 2.3.290 O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock The meat it feeds on. -Iago 3.3.165 Look where he comes! Not poppy nor mandragora Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world, Shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep Which thou owedst yesterday. -Iago 3.3.330 Tis not a year or two shows us a man. They are all but stomachs, and we all but food; They eat us hungerly, and when they are full, They belch us. -Emilia 3.4.105 Demand me nothing. What you know, you know. From this time forth I never will speak word. -Iago 5.2.300
