ACT 3, Scene I
NARRATOR
(Outside the hotel in New York, Cassio brought a band of musicians to the party, knowing that Othello have an interest with music, he therefore hoped for the best that it will put Othello in a good mood.)
(CASSIO (Will Smith) enters with MUSICIANS.)
CASSIO (Will Smith)
Yo, that little musical band right there. Mind if you do me a favor? See, me and my good friend right here need to ease things up a little, so play us some soothing music while you’re at it.
(The MUSICIANS play. The CLOWN (Adam Sandler) enters.)
CLOWN (Adam Sandler)
What the hell kind of sound is that? Sounds like something is stuck up your a**.
MUSICIAN
Erm, I beg your pardon?
CLOWN (Adam Sandler)
Is this what you call music?
MUSICIAN
Well, yes.
CLOWN (Adam Sandler)
Exactly, jacka**. That's the problem.
MUSICIAN
Excuse me, but what is wrong with it?
CLOWN (Adam Sandler)
Because how you played it sucked, you little sarcastic bastard. Tell you what, here's the money and go away. Just because Mr. Big Guy right there appreciate your little effort.
MUSICIAN
We will stop as you wish, and thank you very much.
CLOWN (Adam Sandler)
Well, if you do something else than play music, then you can do that. But seeing that you can't do anything else, you might as well leave since the big guy doesn't want to listen to your crap.
MUSICIAN
We cannot do anything else but play music.
CLOWN (Adam Sandler)
Then what the hell are you waiting for? Get the hell out of here.
(The MUSICIANS exit.)
CASSIO (Will Smith)
You heard of my buddy, man?
CLOWN (Adam Sandler)
Nah, of course I don't hear him when you're talking.
CASSIO (Will Smith)
Are you being sarcastic? (CASSIO gives CLOWN money). Here, you’re a funny guy. And oh, do me a favor will you? The woman that looks after Desdemona, is she around? If so, can you fetch her so I can have a word with her.
CLOWN (Adam Sandler)
I’ve just seen her wondering around moments ago, and yeah yeah yeah.. I’ll tell her about you only if she feels like it.
(The CLOWN (Adam Sandler) exits.)
(IAGO (Martin Lawrence) enters.)
CASSIO (Will Smith)
Yo, Iago. How you doing, man?
IAGO (Martin Lawrence)
Oh, Cassio. Why are you still up?
CASSIO (Will Smith)
I couldn’t go to sleep, besides when I left before, it was already morning. And by the way, I hope you don’t mind that I’ve sent someone to give my word to your wife because I have to ask her something regarding about Desdemona.
IAGO (Martin Lawrence)
Oh, is that so? Couldn’t you ask me instead other than going through all that trouble just to talk to my wife? Tell you what, I’ll find a way to distract Othello so you don’t have to worry about having to explain yourself to him about this.
CASSIO (Will Smith)
Thanks, man. I appreciate that, Iago.
(IAGO (Martin Lawrence) exits.)
Florentines aren’t that bad after all, this Iago guy sure is someone I can actually depend on.
(EMILIA (Milla Jovovich) enters.)
EMILIA (Milla Jovovich)
Good evening, Cassio. I’ve heard about what happened between you and Othello, and I’m sorry to hear that. I just hope that everything will be alright. Othello and Desdemona are talking about you right now, and Desdemona is trying to convince him. But Othello insists that the man that you fought before is one of the respected guys here in New York, and because of that, Othello has no choice but to refuse to give you a promotion. But he says that he still respects you Cassio, and he would find a way to get you out of the mess you got yourself into.
CASSIO (Will Smith)
Can you still find a way to have Desdemona speak only with no one else but me?
EMILIA (Milla Jovovich)
Well, there is this place where I can take you. Come in with me.
CASSIO (Will Smith)
Thank you, Emilia.
(They both exit.)
NARRATOR
(Overhearing Cassio’s and Emilia’s conversation, Iago then went to fetch Desdemona at once. Which later on, had Desdemona agreed to see Cassio to speak about what has happened, allowing both Cassio and Emilia to enter her room.)
ACT 3 Scene II
NARRATOR
(Knowing that Cassio needs a lone time with Desdemona, Iago quickly went to Othello’s presence, as he have a plan to separate the two. But luck has given Iago since Othello is not around Desdemona anymore, giving Cassio the opportunity to have a word with Desdemona alone.)
(OTHELLO (Tyrese Gibson), IAGO (Martin Lawrence), and GENTLEMEN enter.)
OTHELLO (Tyrese Gibson)
Iago, give all of these letters to the driver who brought us here, and while you’re at it, also ask him if he can send my regards to the Senate of Hawaii. With that finished, I’m just going out to have some air. If you need me for anything, you know where to find me.
IAGO (Martin Lawrence)
If you say so.
OTHELLO (Tyrese Gibson)
Alright, who’s down drinking with me? Tabs on me.
GENTLEMEN
Yo, Othello. You are the man!
(They all exit.)

October 17
Manager: Raphael Romero
Members: DaQwan, George, Ariel, Stephanie
Date: Friday, October 17
Today, I was once again assigned as the group manager this Friday, October 17. Today, in the class, we have to discuss about individual speeches from the characters of Othello. In our group, we've decided which character that most fit our play. Even though in our Do Now, we may have chose different characters whom we thought that best of all, but as a group, the only one that we all decided on was Iago for having such a brilliant, and a manipulating man. We've also cited our quote from Iago in the book, William Shakespeare's Othello, from page 137, line 62. With all classwork done, our group also manage to discuss about our plans for our final project. We've discussed about errors, what are missing, and things that are in need to be done. Today, thankfully, all of our group members manage to get all together and are complete in class. We've also started working on our virtual version of our project since it may be due by the week after the upcoming one. Overall, I am very proud of my group members for taking this project seriously. ^_^

October 3
Aim: What are the various themes that we can apply to Shakespeare's Othello and what settings do you think are appropiate to represent the settings in your act?
Do Now: Write a paragraph on what you think is an appropiate theme for Shakespeare's Othello.
- What I think is an appropiate theme for Othello is where it may be filled with lies and deception and revenge, like for example, Iago, in order for him to accomplish his revenge, he would therefore lie to everyone and to gain their trust, persuading them with his failure of honesty.
Cooperative Learning:
Select one of the following themes and in another paragraph or two state why your selection best fits the play.
1) Appearance and reality.
2) Society's treatment of the outsider; and
3) Jealousy.
The theme that I chose would be jealousy because the entire play, Shakespeare's Othello, based this play upon jealousy. The reason why explains how Iago is so determined and jealousy at his current position, so in order for him to accomplish his evil deeds, he therefore lied to everyone else and persuade them with his so called 'honesty.' I state this theme to be the best selection because jealousy is expressed throughout the play, and overall, this play is rather tragic. Without jealousy, it wouldn't be tragedy.

Homework
As the manager for today (Yay me!), October 3, Friday, I have taken responsibility to be the manager. They didn't vote for it but more likely assigned ourselves in which order hereby goes on that certain day. Our group consist of the members of me, DaQwan, George, Ariel and Stephanie. Our group accomplish so many things for this day, and because of that, no member of this team can have an excuse for not being able to do their work because all of us are updated to the latest information we've gathered and discussed until now. We also discussed which characters are to play in Othello's cast, the setting on where it would be based upon New York and Hawaii since our teacher suggested the idea. Our group also discussed about Othello's theme to be jealousy. Thankfully, Ariel finally shown up and I do hope that he would be able to remain in class so we can actually be dependent on him, a little effort would do as we try to convince him to at least make his own blog. With our group fully updated with our blog, homework, and the upcoming quiz to do, we are prepared on whatever it is that we are about to do after.
