I'm going to ask you all to do it for me. I'm only halfway joking here. I have just been confronted with so much shit in the past few days and I want it to all just go away.
How does the structure of the following passage reveal that despite his masterful command of language for the sake of evil, Iago is batshit insane?
Othello, Act Two, Scene

what makes an event historically significant is whether it gets recorded and reported - whether it's important to a person who will record and recall it, how it can be used as an instrument of power and to shape social power, and whether it's important to the powerful people.
good luck on your homeworks! these are all so complex, man. in return, if you have any thoughts about Emily Dickinson and 1) nature/landscape in her poetry, and/or 2) gender in her nature poetry, maybe you could share them? ;) jk, jk :) :) :)

Oh, I am definitely stealing elements of that recording/reporting answer. Do you have any suggestions of events like that?
Hmm, it's been a while since I've read any Dickinson, but let's see what I can come up with. In Because I Could not Stop for Death, landscape imagery is important because it parallels her relationship with and acceptance of Death. The only lines I remember are "At Recess - in the Ring" and "A cornice in the ground". I don't remember where the dashes are and which words are supposed to be capitalized.
I read a really cute kids book, about thirty pages, that actually taught me about Emily and her life. Basically, a mouse moves into the room where Emily spent most of her time and they write poetry to one another. If it sounds like it could be helpful to you, I'll see if I can find it. ;)

Bolivarismo, on the other hand... dude, if you get to Hugo Chavez, you might read some crazy stuff. Youtube "Alo presidente" and watch him call Bush a donkey.
oh I guess mostly I meant that he who writes the history determines the story. think about Haiti - the West didn't write about it so it became a nonevent for so very, very long. And the creation of Columbus's discovery - it is a single incident seen as incredibly important but it's not like his expedition did actually important substantiative things, they just found land and mistook it. but a great significance is attributed to Columbus himself.
That's really interesting - I'm not using that poem unfortunately but thanks! and the book sounds adorable but probably not what I need for my essay :) :) :) thanks though! and it sounds like you'll rock these questions.

That thing about writers determining the story is really appropriate for the kind of stuff we've been going over in anthropology so it'll definitely be good to use in my essay. Thanks! For my events I've decided on Napoleon's invasion of Spain and the Whiskey Rebellion, because there are so many layers of historiography going on there.
I plan to rock, and when I take over the world I'll list you as my partner in crime. <333
