Hero (Mariah Carey)

There's a hero,
If you look inside your heart,
You don't have to be afraid of what you are,
There's an answer,
If you reach into your soul,
And the sorrow that you know will melt away.

[chorus]
And then a hero comes along,
With the strenght to carry on,
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive,
So when you feel like hope is gone,
Look inside you and be strong,
And you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you.

It's a long road,
When you face the world alone,
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold,
You can find love,
If you search within yourself,
And the emptiness you felt will disappear.

[chorus]

Lord knows,
Dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away,
Hold on,
There will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way.

[chorus]

That a hero lies in.....you______
Ooohh that a hero lies in.....you__________




I decided to take this song, because it has a great message. The meaning is to believe in your self and believe that doesn’t matter if something bad happen in your life, there is always another day to continuo facing the world, with a new begging in your life. It talk’s about the great hero that each one of us has inside and that sometimes we forget about that. The song is divided in five paragraphs. Also is divided in sestina and have denotations in the song lyrics. The song lyrics are in an open verse and also have patterns of rhyme. The meaning of this song is easy to understand and the softness of all the music makes the song more special. Even that this song has been out more than 10 years is a song that because of the great significant will continuo to go on in history. One of the big problems of human, is that they doesn’t believe in there self and this is a song that inspire you to believe that you are the only one that can decide the destiny of your own life and your own dreams.

Essay #2: The perfect life is not always the reason for happiness.

Most of the people that we meet including us live trying to find the true love and happiness. Happiness can be defined in different ways, that’s what happens in the story “Girl” and “Happy Ending”. In both stories the authors where reaching for that happiness in their characters. People around the main characters always wanted to push them to have the perfect life in different ways. Life is a complicated thing for everyone, no matters who you are or where you come from, at the end is hard and you have to fight for what you have, in both stories the author focus on this type of message. Even that love is not perfect, the authors focus on making both stories so perfect that at the end the readers richest the point were noting is perfect in life, love and happiness and is always complicated for everyone, even in this two stories.

Love can be express in different ways. Both stories present love as the most important thing for any individual in life. In the story “Girl” the love is presented as her mom believing that the perfect way to have a great life is instructing her daughter to learn how to be a great wife and pleasing others. In “Happy Ending” the author presents us with all the particular situations where love affects a couple leading them to confrontations and struggle to find happy ending to some of the characters. Also in “Happy Ending” the author allow us to choose which of the love endings better fix us.

In the story “Girl” we can see that her mom care about her and want her to have a perfect life and be the perfect woman. The problem was that this was not the way to educate some one. Maybe what the mother defines as perfect is not what the daughter wants. At the story we can see how constantly the mother told her daughter how to do everything; we can understand that always parents want the best for their children, but sometimes the love is so blind they don’t even know their own kids desires. The love presented at “Girl” is the type in which at the end makes people fight with their relatives for years and have that part of their life incomplete.

“Happy Ending” presents us with different alternatives of love. The author give us the same characters in different situations to show us how life can be change for the actions we make. Also in that same line the author presented the characters killing themselves or one to another, because of love consequences. The love and care in this story was more about different expectation but with the same ending, the perfect life for “John and Mary” and the perfect ending were for us readers to decide.

Both authors focus on one message: Love. One of the similitudes in the stories is how to reach for that love and how people affect that goal. The stories try to reach us by dramatizing the characters to let us know they where in control of their destiny and in some occasions loose that control. The road to reach happiness in both stories is affected by others, but both authors give us the weapon to finish the story of their characters giving them their happiness. At the end love was the strongest feeling that was related in both story there character.

Both stories are very different but at the end we can see that the authors where looking for a similar message. In “Girl” what really call my attention, was the way that her mom wanted her to be so perfect for someone else that she even forget about the feeling of her daughter. Also in “Happy Ending” we can see how in some stories the character loose control of the love and respect they felt and took actions that wasn’t the best ones. What call my attention in both story is the way that the authors let us see what happens when we let others influence in our life and giving the message that we shall not let someone or something finish with who we are and what we want.

At the end the message was that we can control our happy ending just as we control the ending at the end of both stories. It’s true that in life we cry, suffer, smile, get nervous but all those experiences are part of reaching our happy ending and love can gave us or take away that strength from us if we don’t control it.

Iago's Dream

It all begging with a man call Iago. Iago was very intelligent, strong and in depended person. In the other hand he never feels true love for anything in life, only for the great gold that he wanted to have in his life. He also was a very jealouse person and more when it was his enemy and also his friend Othello. Othello was the great example of a person that everyone look for to be like, because of his great image and the treatment that he give to the people. Othello and Iago were friends from a long time and share a great history togethere. What Othello don’t know, is that Iago hate him and want to finish with his life. Even that Iago was a strong person he had some insecurity and take advantage of them, by making a story that everyone around him believe. A story that at the end he richest his pourpose by herting and destroying everyones life.

Iago never had true love in his life. The way that he is with love around him, show us that he never actually reseave or gave true love in his life. For Iago, in the whole story we can see that he uses his friends and take advantage of them like he did with Rodrigo. Rodrigo did everything that Iago say and even pay him because he love destemona and Iago toll him that with a great plant he can have destemona. For Iago Rodrigo was no one only a person that he can take advantage of. By putting Rodrigo to different chalange that at the end were part of finishing with Othello. In the other hand Iago have love for what he do to other people in their personal life’s. The way that he insisted of doing what he feel because for him was the right thing to do, show us that for him the love and dedication of it was focus on doing damage to other people. People that care about him, respect him and believe in him, he put theme true the game that at the end was killing each other.

Iago in some way was very insecurity person, but he new which was his insecurity and recognize theme. So this put him in advantage unlike the other people around him that didn’t recognize their weaknesses. Iago new othellos weaknesses, more than what Othello new about him self. So this gave Iago an advantage with his plants, by making Othello feel that he headed his wife, work and life more that anything in this world. That’s way when Iago tell Othello that his wife is unfaithful he belief him and douted from the love of his own wife. At the end Iago new that the biggest weakness that Othello have was the love of his wife and he new that Othello will get crazy if destemona do some thing unexpected like been unfaithful. That’s way Othello get crazy at the end and finish with her life. Something he regret, because he new he made a mistake and at the end he kill him self.

Since the begging of the story we can see that Iago was a jealous person. A person that does not care about what people do, but about what people have. His biggest competition was Othello. Othello was great at everything that he did. Have a great wife, love, the care of the people, his work everything around him was perfect. Iago wanted to have all of that and more and that’s way finishing with Othello was his biggest concern and gold in his life. At the end we can see that he get what he wanted, Othello crazy and dead. Even that Iago did all that, we can say that still he was the strongest, independent and intelligent person in this story, because he did what he had to do to get his biggest dream.

Analyze a character

Analyze Iago

Since the begin we can see that he was focus only to destroy everyone’s life. Iago was a very smart person and in fact for me, he is the smarted person in the story. Everything that Iago did to get to his objective (destroy Othello) was with one interest only, destroy. We also can see that Iago was stronger inside and also very secure of what he wants and what he can have of each person in the story. Confidence was the strongest quality that he has, because every move that he did to make any damage was with a judge security of what he what.
We also can analyze about this character, the way that he related with other people and that he is very comfortable doing what he is doing without any hard feeling or regretting what he did. In each part of the play Iago have a new challenge for that day and at the end it all was surrounded by hearting someone. Iago analyze every person in the story and try to find the weaknesses of those that he wanted to have revenge at the end. Even that there were intelligent people like him, around him, they never find any suspicious thing around Iago and that’s why at the end Iago did what he always wanted to do, destroy everyone’s life
