Othello: (In surprise) what the hell are you talking about?
Iago: dude it’s the truth.
Othello: (With anger) Is it true?
Iago: (With Confidence) I aint lying to you man, every one knows its true.
Othello: (Still with anger) I swear to god if your ass is lying I’m going to hunt your ass down.
Iago: I’m completely positive because he himself admitted to me that he had almost got her knocked up.
Othello: (Stunned) What did you just say?
Iago: how many times do I have to say it, Cassio the back stabber has been sleeping with your wife.
Othello: (With rage) “Lie with her! Lie on her! We say lie on her, when they belie her.”
Iago: (To himself) “Work on, my medicine work! Thus credulous fools are caught.”
Cassio enters the scene and Othello collapses as if he is in severe pain.
Cassio: (With Curiosity) Yo, what’s wrong with Othello? Is he alright?
Iago: Nah, he’s alright, he is just sick for a couple of days, he’ll talk to you
Later alright.
Cassio: ok, no problem bro.
Cassio exits the scene.
Iago: Yo Othello wake up that asshole is out.
Othello: I still can’t believe that bastard slept with my wife.
Iago: ok, you’ll see just gimme a minute, I’ll have him confess it right infront of you today.
Othello: If it’s true then I am definitely going to kill that bastard.
Othello exits the scene as if he is hiding. Cassio re-enters the scene. Iago starts asking him about Bianca, a prostitute who is crazy for him.
Iago: Hey, what’s up man? Sorry, I couldn’t talk to you then.
Cassio: It’s ok man.
Iago: What is all this between that girl (Iago referred to Bianca) and you.
Cassio: Man, don’t tell me. She is so horny.
Iago: Why? What did she do?
Cassio: She is totally crazy over me. “She haunts me in every place. So hangs, and lolls, and weeps upon me; so hales, and pulls me: ha, ha, ha!”
Iago: Are you going to marry her?
Cassio: (With humor) are you serious. You got to be kidding me. Girls like her are good for sleeping with. You know that.
Meanwhile Bianca enters the scene with Desdemona’s handkerchief.
Bianca: “I was a fine fool to take it. This is some minx's token, and I
must take out the work?” Give back this to your lover.
Bianca exits the scene. Confused Cassio also exits the scene after Bianca.
Othello re-enter the scene as if comes out from hiding. He has heard the
entire conversation and now completely trusts Iago’s words that Desdemona
had sex with Cassio.
Othello: (With rage) how should I kill this bastard and that bitch (Referring
Desdemona). Do you have poison? Iago: "Do it not with poison. Strangle her in her bed, even the bed she hath contaminated.”
Othello: (Like a monster) "Good, good! The justice of it pleases. Very good” What should I do with that son of a bitch then?
Iago: Don’t worry; I’m gonna take care of Cassio. I’ll finish that jerk off by midnight.
Othello: Ok, I trust you with that job, but make sure you kill him like a dog.
Iago: I would never disappoint you man.
Desdemona enters with Lodovico who is her relative.
Lodovico: General Othello, the duke is looking for you. You have to leave Cyprus for Venice by tonight.
Othello: But who is going to care for Cyprus.
Lodovico: Don’t worry. Lieutenant Cassio would be in charge in your absence.
Desdemona: (With happiness) I am so happy for Cassio. He deserves this.
Othello is in rage after seeing Desdemona’s happiness for Cassio’s promotion. He becomes totally mad at her and strikes her.
Othello: (Striking Desdemona) “O devil, devil!”-
Desdemona: What’s wrong with this man?
Othello: Don’t try to pretend.
Desdemona: (Confused) I don’t get it, why are you acting this way.
Othello: get the hell out of my face.
Desdemona starts to leave since her presence would make Othello angrier. Lodovico tells Othello to call her back. Othello calls her, but just to humiliate her in front of everybody. Desdemona exits the scene and Othello also exits the scene furiously.
Lodovico: I don’t believe my eyes. Is this the same noble Moor we admire for?
Iago: Othello has changed a lot. And this is nothing of what he did with Desdemona.
Lodovico: “I am sorry that I am deceived in him.”
End of the scene. Curtain falls.
Act IV, Scene II
This scene opens in a room. Both Othello and Emilia enter the room.
Othello: “Is Desdemona cheating on me.”
Emilia: “No what in the world are you taking about, Desdemona wouldn’t even
think about that..”
Othello: “Have you ever seen her and Cassio alone… you know… doing anything.”
Emilia: “No I haven’t seen anything like that.”
Othello: “Did she ever tell you to leave the room so that her and Cassio can be alone.”
Emilia: “Nope. Never”
Othello: “That’s kinda odd.”
Emilia: “To be honest Othello, Desdemona would never cheat on you. She really loves you.”
Othello: “I don’t believe you.
Emilia: "If any wretch have put this in your head/Let heaven requite it with the serpent's curse!"
Othello: you’re lying to me just to protect that whore. Just get the hell out of here.”
Emilia leaves the room
Othello thinking to himself: “she is lying for her friend. I should have seen this coming.”
Emilia and Desdemona enter the room.
Othello: “Desdemona get over here, and Emilia you can give us some privacy now.”
Emilia leaves the room
Desdemona: “Why are you so angry with me Othello?”
Othello: “Who the hell are you? I feel like I don’t know who the hell you are?”
Desdemona: “I am your trustworthy wife.”
Othello: “LIER!!!!! I don’t believe you, you whore!”
Desdemona realizes what she is being accused of.
Desdemona: “I would NEVER cheat on you. I love you. You’re my husband.”
Othello: “stop lying!!”
As Emilia re-enters the room to check on Desdemona, Othello walks out.
Othello to Desdemona: “Don’t tell anyone about our conversation.”
Emilia: “Are you Okay?”
Desdemona: “Emilia, am I awake or asleep because this feels like a nightmare. Just go get Iago?”
Emilia: “all right.”
Soon Iago enters the room
Desdemona: “What’s going on Iago. What am I gonna do?”
Iago: “Don’t worry there is something on his mind that’s just bothering him and he is taking it out on you. Everything’s gonna be fine. Take a chill pill!
Desdemona leaves the room and Iago and Rodrigo meets up.
Iago: “we have to do something to get rid of Cassio.”
Rodrigo: “hmmm”
Iago: “Can you do it?”
Rodrigo: “I don’t know”
Iago: “Yo man if you can get rid of him then you will have a better chance to be with Desdemona.” Just think about it homey, just think about it.
Rodrigo: “Do you really think so”
Iago: “I know so. Trust me”
Rodrigo: “All right. I’ll do it only for Desdemona.”
Act IV Scene III
Othello gathers with Desdemona, Emilia and Lodovico in another room.
Othello to Desdemona: I'm gonna catch ya soon, just dismiss Emilia and go to bed.
Desdemona gets ready for bed.
Desdemona: Hey Emilia, can you unpin my gown??
Emilia: Yeah, sure.
Desdemona starts singing a sorrowful song which is regarding a girl who is forsaken by her lover. She waits for a knock of Othello on the door.
Desdemona to Emilia: I have a question.
Emilia: What is it.
Desdemona: How can any woman falsely accuse her lover??
Emilia: You can just think of it this way, a woman can cheat her husband due to how
miserably he can treat the wife. If that’s the case then I think the husband deserves that.
Desdemona: Ok! Emilia good night.
The scene ends with Desdemona's characteristic of her excellent nature.
She prays to God that she should be taught by Othello's poor way of treating her, not in a bad way to take revenge or something but just to improve herself.
Iago: Yo , man can u believe that Cassio’s been bangin your girl.

mah project!!
Lodovico appears for the first time as an emissary to Cyprus from the Duke of Venice in Act IV, Scene 1. He inquires casually about the situation on the island, but immediately witnesses Othello strike Desdemona. Lodovico is shocked by Othello's behavior, asking the rhetorical question: "Is this the noble Moor whom our full Senate / Call all in all sufficient?" (IV.i.265-266). As a neutral observer, his comment highlights the dramatic devolution that Othello has suffered under Iago's spell. Lodovico cannot prevent the tangle of evil that occurs in the last two acts of the play.
Emilia in this play is a perfect portrait from common life, a masterpiece in the Flemish style; and though not necessary as a contrast, it cannot be but that the thorough vulgarity, the loose principles of this plebian woman, united to a high degree of spirit, energetic feeling, strong sense, and low cunning, serve to place in brighter relief the exquisite refinement, the moral grace, the unblemished truth, and the soft submission of Desdemona. -- JAMESON, ANNA BROWNELL, 1832, Characteristics of Shakespeare's Women.
Emilia is the lone character who garners the knowledge to all circumstances of the events surrounding the characters in Othello the Moor. Although other characters in the play are privy to certain details of the unfolding events, Emilia is the character that uses this knowledge to the benefit of the play. Emilia's character is minor yet necessary. Without her character the play would have no means of unraveling the confusion created by the author. Emilia, wife of Iago, should be questioned of her loyalty and commitment to both her husband and her dear friend, Desdemona.

who were the moors?
Moors were characterized in Elizabethan England as being alternately or even simultaneously noble or monstrous, civil or savage. Being a different race meant, primarily, being an Other, non-English, as well as non-Christian. http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/7261/gripe5.html
who were the venetians? the Venetians were a wealthy and powerful people. This wealth was due Venice’s canals which made it an ideal place for trade. http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=117520&tocid=24063&query=1600%20venice http://web.uvic.ca/shakespeare/Annex/DraftTxt/MV/
What was the military duty of ranked officers?
It is someone who has been in the army since they were young. They are powerful figures in society and are well respected.
What was the role of women?
Women were mostly silent, they did not speak out much at all about their opinions, especially in public. Some women wrote, but mostly all they wrote about was prayer and meditation. The only real chance they got to write about their feelings was in poems. www.yale.edu/opa/v27.n29/story8
What was the Military Hierarchy?
Pay for military services rendered was essentially nonexistent
http://www-adm.pdx.edu/user/sinq/greekciv2/sport/army/seanh4.htm
What was expected of daughters?
Daughters were seen as property to control by their fathers. They were expected to obey their father’s wishes and to marry by the age of thirteen. http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~pbatch/essay3.htm
What was expected of a bride?
Woman was supposed to marry well, be loyal to her husband and give birth to boys.
http://www.teacheroz.com/renaissance.htm
Marriage and Inheritance in between men and women?
First, land descended to the eldest son to the exclusion of his siblings. But if there was no son, land went to the daughter. If there were more than one daughter then they were all equal heiresses. Common law gave a limited preference to males, as it gave daughters preference over collateral males, such as the nephew, or uncle, or male cousin. Over time the widow's third became a well protected right that extended over any land her husband had ever held during their marriage. If a husband wished to alienate land he had to get his wife's consent. http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=117520&tocid=24063&query=1600%20venice http://web.uvic.ca/shakespeare/Annex/DraftTxt/MV/
Rules existed to get married?
Men used to choose the bride but bride didnt had any right to choose a guy.She was allowed to marry the guy whom she was liked by. most famous moor? The Moor of Venice. http://www.wikispace.com/
what were the rules of courtship?
The lower classes, I think it was pretty free, you married who you wanted"Prior to 1545, Christian marriages in Europe were by mutual consent, declaration of intention to marry and upon the subsequent physical union of the parties.[citation needed] The couple would promise verbally to each other that they would be married to each other; the presence of a priest or witnesses was not required. This promise was known as the "verbum." If made in the present tense (e.g., "I marry you"), it was unquestionably binding; if made in the future tense ("I will marry you"), it would constitute a betrothal. But if the couple proceeded to have sexual relations, the union was a marriage. http://www.drizzle.com/~celyn/mrwp/mrwp.html

1)I will take my lover to a date but my friend wont. 2) XLIII. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways... "by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.A I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightB My soul can reach,when feeling out of sightB For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.A I love thee to the level of everyday'sA Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.B I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;B I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.A I love thee with a passion put to useC In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.D I love thee with a love I seemed to loseC With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,D Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,C I shall but love thee better after death.D
3)The question is that how he would count the ways in which he loves her? His answer is he can love her to the depth of breathe and height,he can love her with his soul,he can love her with passion,he can love her even after death(better),etc.
4)This sonnet is very romantic seriously.If we will say this to our lover than they will hug you:) 5)Yes,the poet describes the right ways to love someone.
6)symbol:I shall but love better after death.
7)Yes it is wrong to love someone this much intensely.If you will love someone so intensely and what if he/she ditches you then you will be in pain forever or will die.

Sept/11-15/08
1)My silence and character and my childish nature towards my friends and family makes me most beautiful person in the world.
2)My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;A Coral is far more red than her lips' red;B If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;A If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.B I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,C But no such roses see I in her cheeks; D And in some perfumes is there more delight C Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.D I love to hear her speak, yet well I know,E That music hath a far more pleasing sound;F I grant I never saw a goddess go; E My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:F And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare G As any she belied with false compare.G
In this peom the poet wants to say that no matter how his lover looks like but he still likes the way she is and she is the most beautiful girl.
Questions:
1)What does line 10 mean?? That when his lover walks on the ground,the ground also shakes.
2)what does last two lines mean?? That no matter how ugly his lover looks like but still you can't find that much beautiful person anywhere else.
3)speakers mistress is dark.
4)her eyes are not like sun,dun breasts,black wires on her head,her breathe stinks,etc.
5)The person's attitude is very romantic.
6)description-The one who loves her is very romantic and he doesnt matter how his lover looks like.He thinks that nobody is like her.He is very understanding and goes on inner beauty.
7)Idealistic,because we dont know if it's real or not.It depends on our point of view.
8)metaphors:than in the breathe,nothing like the sun,coral is far more red,etc.
9)similies-go-know,compare-rare,cheeks-reeks,etc.
2)My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;A Coral is far more red than her lips' red;B If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;A If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.B I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,C But no such roses see I in her cheeks; D And in some perfumes is there more delight C Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.D I love to hear her speak, yet well I know,E That music hath a far more pleasing sound;F I grant I never saw a goddess go; E My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:F And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare G As any she belied with false compare.G
In this peom the poet wants to say that no matter how his lover looks like but he still likes the way she is and she is the most beautiful girl.
Questions:
1)What does line 10 mean?? That when his lover walks on the ground,the ground also shakes.
2)what does last two lines mean?? That no matter how ugly his lover looks like but still you can't find that much beautiful person anywhere else.
3)speakers mistress is dark.
4)her eyes are not like sun,dun breasts,black wires on her head,her breathe stinks,etc.
5)The person's attitude is very romantic.
6)description-The one who loves her is very romantic and he doesnt matter how his lover looks like.He thinks that nobody is like her.He is very understanding and goes on inner beauty.
7)Idealistic,because we dont know if it's real or not.It depends on our point of view.
8)metaphors:than in the breathe,nothing like the sun,coral is far more red,etc.
9)similies-go-know,compare-rare,cheeks-reeks,etc.

Poem:Friends Forever:)
Poem Total words: 29
Title: Friends Forever
Link: Friends Forever
Backup Link: Friends Forever
You're my amicable friend and that is true,
but that gift was given from me to you.
We went through moments that were good and bad,
even moments that were jubilation and sad.
You supported me when I was in tears,
we stuck together when we were in fear.
We never got impervious when hard times came,
you always trusted me and remained the same.
Your clothes were ostentatious which you used to wear,
boys wanted to accost you but you discredit and you did'nt even care.
We always vindicated for the truth each and every everytime,
you made your life embellish which was the sweetest crime.
You were the only person who had equable attitude in the school,
you were awesom and you were the only one who was cool.
You used to augment happiness in each and every way,
you were the person who always smiled I could say.
You offered your hand that I may grasp it and not fall,
you hugged me when I exorbitanitly cried and was insulted in front of all.
When I was diffident beacause of some reasons and I used to get petulant,
whenever I remonstrated and I used to get aberrant.
You entreated me for a hug and wiped my tears,
you made me smile and used to scream in my ears.
You never had animosity against any person,
that is why nothing went wrong and worsen.
You were my life and you were my friend,
you were the only one towards whom I could bend.
The spontaneity of your laughter still whispers in my ear,
how can I forget all those memories my dear.
We both were antithesis in nature and both were disparit in some respect.
But it never had a bad impression on our friendship or any bad effect.
When I used to oblivion important things everytime,
then you reminded me about those things always through your mime.
I some times had profusion stress while I used to study,
you helped me out no matter how busy you were my buddy.
You were so debonair about yourself beacause of your talent,
I learned from you how to be so gallent.
I thought that I am incompatible for your friendship,
but, you told me that I am smart and bad for hardship.
You spontaneily used to walk along with me and never stopped,
you were virtuoso and power that never ever flopped.
You were my strength and you were my power,
you never yelled at me and looked as pretty as a flower.
Suddenly one day I was dispered from you,
you were crying and I was sad too.
I was really ingenuous regarding this intractable separation,
my heart was crying while I was going to the railway station.
You hugged me and smiled while I was going to Fled,
we are friends forever those were the last words which you just said.
I acquiesce that we are true friends forever,
but I m nothing without you I have'nt said that ever.
I miss you,I love you,I beg for your happiness to my Lord,
I want to live with you as I am very unhappy and bored.
We are friends forever,
'Priya' and 'Navi' are friends forever.

biography of crazy horse and his speech.
*Power point presentation for the biography of Crazy Horse.*
Speech by Crazy Horse(edit one):-)
Crazy Horse Speech.
We preffered our own way of living.(Sept.05.1877).
On the deathbed before his father,mother and agent Lee,Crazy Horse told his story.
I was not hostile to the white man.Sometimes my young men would attack Indians who were their enemies and took their ponies.We had buffalo for food and their hides for clothing and tepees.We preferred hunting to a life of idleness on the reservations,where we were driven against our will.At times we did not get enough food to eat, and we were not allowed to leave the reservation to hunt.We preffered our own way of living.We were no expanse to the government then.All we wanted was peace and to be left alone.Soldiers were sent out in the winter,who destroyed our villages.Then Long Hair(Custer) came in the same way.They say we massacred him,but he would have done the same to us had we not defended ourselves and fought to the last.Our first impulse was to escape with our squaws and papooses,but we were so hemmed in that we had to fight.After that I went up on tongue river with a few of my people and lived in peace.But the government would not let me alone.Finally,i came back to Red Cloud Agency.Yet I was not allowed to remain quiet.I was tired of fighting.I went to Spotted Tail Agency and asked that chief and his agent to let me live there in peace.I came here with the agent Lee to talk with big white chief,but was not given a chance.They tried to confine me,I tried to escape,and a soldier ran his bayonet into me.I have spoken.

A video+a song on youtube which is...."The legend of crazy horse"
$$CRAZY HORSE:biography$$
(Tashunka Witco, Tashunca-Uitco, "his horse is crazy").
TRIBE: Oglala-Brule Sioux.
BIRTH-DEATH: (ca. 1842-1877).
Leader in the Sioux Wars of the 1860s-70s. Nephew of SPOTTED TAIL .
CRAZY HORSE
Crazy Horse was born along Rapid Creek near present-day Rapid City, South Dakota, to the east of Paha Sapa, the Black Hills.
He was the son of an Oglala medicine man of the same name and his Brule wife, the sister of Spotted Tail.
His mother died when he was young, and his father took her sister as a wife and she helped raise Crazy Horse.
He spent time in both Oglala and Brule camps. His childhood name was Curly.
Before he was 12, Curly had killed a buffalo and received his own horse.
About that age, on August 19, 1854, he was in CONQUERING BEAR’s camp in northern Wyoming when the Brule leader was killed in the GRATTAN Fight.
Although he was away from camp during the Battle of Ash Hollow the following year, he witnessed the destruction of Sioux tepees and possessions by the soldiers during General WILLIAM S. HARNEY’s punitive expedition through Sioux territory along the Oregon Trail, experiences that helped shape his militant attitude toward whites.
After the Grattan Fight, Curly underwent a Vision Quest in which he had a vivid dream of a rider in a storm on horseback,
with long unbraided hair, a small stone in his ear,
zigzag lightning decorating his cheek, and hail dotting his body.
Although a warrior, he bore no scalps.
People clutched at the rider, but could not hold him.
The storm faded and a red-backed hawk flew over the rider’s head. When Curly later related the dream to his father, the medicine man interpreted it as a sign of his son’s future greatness in battle.
At about the age of 16, now bearing his father’s name, Crazy Horse rode for the first time as an adult warrior in a raid on Crows.
Like the rider in his dream, he wore his hair free, a stone earring, and a headdress with a red hawk feather in it.
His face was painted with a lightning bolt and his body with hail-like dots.
The raid was successful, but Crazy Horse received a wound in the leg, because, his father interpreted, unlike the rider in the vision, he had taken two scalps.
For the remainder of his career as a warrior, it is said that Crazy Horse never again took a scalp.
Crazy Horse became further known to many of the Sioux bands for his courage in the War for the BOZEMAN Trail of 1866-68 under the Oglala RED CLOUD , when the army began building a road in Powder River country from the Oregon Trail to the goldfields of Montana.
He was one of the young chiefs, along with the Miniconjou HUMP and the Hunkpapas GALL and RAIN-IN-THE-FACE , who used decoy tactics against the soldiers.
Near Fort Phil Kearny, Wyoming, Crazy Horse participated in the Indian victories known as the FETTERMAN Fight of December 21, 1866, and the Wagon Box Fight of August 2, 1867.
With the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, in which the army agreed to abandon the posts along the Bozeman Trail, Red Cloud and Spotted Tail settled on reservation lands.
Crazy Horse became war chief of the Oglalas, with some Brule followers as well.
Moreover, he made friends and followers among the Northern Cheyennes through his first marriage to a Cheyenne woman. He later married an Oglala woman too.
Crazy Horse again waged war in the early 1870s, leading his warriors in raids on Northern Pacific Railway surveyors.
The Black Hills Gold Rush, which brought more whites to the region, increased tensions.
When the nomadic hunting bands ignored the order to report to their reservations by January 31, 1876, the military organized a campaign against them.
Crazy Horse’s band fought in the opening engagement of the War for the Black Hills of 1876-77, the Battle of Powder River.
In March 1876, when his scouts discovered an Indian trail, General GEORGE CROOK sent a detachment under Colonel Joseph Reynolds to locate the Indian camp along the Powder in southeastern Montana.
At dawn on March 17, Reynolds ordered a charge.
The Indians retreated to surrounding bluffs and fired at the troops who burned the village and rounded up the Indian horses.
Crazy Horse regrouped his warriors and, during a snowstorm that night, recaptured the herd.
Meanwhile, SITTING BULL of the Hunkpapas, who, during the 1860s, had been active in raids in northern Montana and North Dakota along the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers, came into prominence as the spiritual leader of the allied Northern Plains tribes.
Gall acted as his leading war chief. Crazy Horse joined the Hunkpapas on the upper Rosebud.
On June 17, 1876, at the Battle of the Rosebud, Crazy Horse, Gall, and other war chiefs led their warriors in repeated assaults that forced Crook’s troops to retreat.
The Indians then moved their camp to the Bighorn River. On June 25, at the Battle of Little Bighorn, Crazy Horse led the victorious assault on GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER’s men from the north and west, while Gall’s warriors attacked from the south and west.
Following Little Bighorn, the Indian bands split up, and Crazy Horse led his people back to the Rosebud.
The next autumn and winter, Colonel NELSON A. MILES led the 5th Infantry from a base at the confluence of the Tongue and Yellowstone rivers in a relentless pursuit of the militants, wearing them down and making it difficult for them to obtain food.
When the Indians attempted hit-and-run strikes, the soldiers responded with heavy artillery to repel them.
On January 8, 1877, at Wolf Mountain on the Tongue River in southern Montana, Crazy Horse led 800 braves in a surprise attack.
Miles had disguised his howitzers as wagons and opened fire with them. The Indians withdrew to bluffs and, when the soldiers counterattacked, retreated under the cover of a snowstorm.
More and more of the fugitive bands were surrendering.
Crazy Horse received a promise from Crook through Red Cloud that if he surrendered, his people would have a reservation of their own in the Powder River country.
His people weary and starving, Crazy Horse led some 800 followers to Fort Robinson on the Red Cloud Agency in northwestern Nebraska on May 5, 1877.
But the promise of a reservation fell through.
Crazy Horse remained at the Red Cloud Agency, and his presence caused unrest among the Indians and suspicion among the whites.
Older chiefs resented the adulation he received from young braves.
He remained aloof from whites and refused Crook’s request to send him to Washington, D.C., for a meeting with President Rutherford Hayes.
Crazy Horse’s wife became sick.
On hearing unfounded rumors that Crazy Horse was planning a rebellion, Crook ordered his arrest.
Taking his family with him, Crazy Horse headed for the Spotted Tail Agency to the northwest.
In a parley with troops sent to capture him, Crazy Horse agreed to return, and the next day, September 5, 1877, he was led back to Fort Robinson.
What exactly happened at the Red Cloud Agency is unknown.
It is thought Crazy Horse had not expected to be imprisoned.
On realizing he was being taken to the stockade, he resisted and, while the Indian police attempted to regain control, he was bayoneted in the abdomen by a soldier.
Crazy Horse died that night.
His father and stepmother were given his body and, following their son’s request, buried him in his homeland—somewhere near Wounded Knee, according to legend. (See also RED CLOUD ; SITTING BULL .)

$$CRAZY HORSE:biography$$
(Tashunka Witco, Tashunca-Uitco, "his horse is crazy").
TRIBE: Oglala-Brule Sioux.
BIRTH-DEATH: (ca. 1842-1877).
Leader in the Sioux Wars of the 1860s-70s. Nephew of SPOTTED TAIL .
CRAZY HORSE
Crazy Horse was born along Rapid Creek near present-day Rapid City, South Dakota, to the east of Paha Sapa, the Black Hills.
He was the son of an Oglala medicine man of the same name and his Brule wife, the sister of Spotted Tail.
His mother died when he was young, and his father took her sister as a wife and she helped raise Crazy Horse.
He spent time in both Oglala and Brule camps. His childhood name was Curly.
Before he was 12, Curly had killed a buffalo and received his own horse.
About that age, on August 19, 1854, he was in CONQUERING BEAR’s camp in northern Wyoming when the Brule leader was killed in the GRATTAN Fight.
Although he was away from camp during the Battle of Ash Hollow the following year, he witnessed the destruction of Sioux tepees and possessions by the soldiers during General WILLIAM S. HARNEY’s punitive expedition through Sioux territory along the Oregon Trail, experiences that helped shape his militant attitude toward whites.
After the Grattan Fight, Curly underwent a Vision Quest in which he had a vivid dream of a rider in a storm on horseback,
with long unbraided hair, a small stone in his ear,
zigzag lightning decorating his cheek, and hail dotting his body.
Although a warrior, he bore no scalps.
People clutched at the rider, but could not hold him.
The storm faded and a red-backed hawk flew over the rider’s head. When Curly later related the dream to his father, the medicine man interpreted it as a sign of his son’s future greatness in battle.
At about the age of 16, now bearing his father’s name, Crazy Horse rode for the first time as an adult warrior in a raid on Crows.
Like the rider in his dream, he wore his hair free, a stone earring, and a headdress with a red hawk feather in it.
His face was painted with a lightning bolt and his body with hail-like dots.
The raid was successful, but Crazy Horse received a wound in the leg, because, his father interpreted, unlike the rider in the vision, he had taken two scalps.
For the remainder of his career as a warrior, it is said that Crazy Horse never again took a scalp.
Crazy Horse became further known to many of the Sioux bands for his courage in the War for the BOZEMAN Trail of 1866-68 under the Oglala RED CLOUD , when the army began building a road in Powder River country from the Oregon Trail to the goldfields of Montana.

$speech$
George W Bush – After the World Trade Centre/Pentagon Attacks, 11 September 2001.
Good evening.
Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist attacks.
The victims were in airplanes or in their offices – secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers. Moms and Dads. Friends and neighbours.
Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyeilding anger.
These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we are the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbours who came to give blood and help in any way they could.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government’s emergency response plans. Our military is powerful and it’s prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, DC to help with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.
Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I’ve directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbour them.
I appreciate so very much the Members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And, on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders ho have called to offer their condolences and assistance.
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together towin the war against terrorism.
Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all those whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of earth, I fear no evil, for you are with me."
His is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.
None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.
Thank you. Good night and God bless America.
questions and answers:
Who is giving the speech? George W. Bush
where is the speech being given? In America
who is the targeted audience? The citizens of America
what is the message? The message is tha safe protection is asured and that the terriorist who were at fault will be found. Also that America is in safe hand and everything possible is being done for the peple's protection so no one should be worrying.

POEM:a song for freedom.$
A SONG FOR FREEDOM AIR — Dandy Jim
Come all ye bondmen far and near,
Let's put a song in massa's ear,
It is a song for our poor race,
Who're whipped and trampled with disgrace
Chorus. My old massa tells me O
This is a land of freedom O;
Let's look about and see if 't is so,
Just as massa tells me O.
He tells me of that glorious one,
I think his name was Washington,
How he did fight for liberty,
To save a threepence tax on tea.
Chorus. My old massa, &c.
And then he tells me that there was A Constitution,
with this clause, That all men equal were created,
How often we have heard it stated.
Chorus. My old massa, &c.
But now we look about and see,
That we poor blacks are not so free;
We're whipped and thrashed about like fools,
And have no chance at common schools.
Chorus. Still, my old massa, &c.
They take our wives, insult and mock,
And sell our children on the block,
Then choke us if we say a word,
And say that "niggers" shan't be heard.
Chorus. Still, my old massa, &c.
Our preachers, too, with ship and cord,
Command obedience in the Lord;
They say they learn it from the book,
But for ourselves we dare not look.
Chorus. Still, my old massa tells me O,
This is a Christian country O, &c.
There is a country far away,
Friend Hopper says 't is Canada,
And if we reach Victoria's shore,
He says that we are slaves no more.
Chorus. Now hasten all bondmen,
let us go And leave this Christian country O;
Haste to the land of the British Queen,
Where whips for negroes are not seen.
Now if we go, we must take the night—
We're sure to die if we come in sight—
The blood-hounds will be on our track,
And wo to us if they fetch us back.
Chorus. Now haste all bondmen, let us go,
And leave this Christian country O;
God help us to Victoria's shore,
< style="color:#000099;"> Where we are free and slaves no more.
the song A SONG FOR FREEDOM represent slaves who wanted to gain freedom and liberty.it also explains the suffering that the slaves were put through.they suffered both emotion and physical pain.this song is similar to the story OLAUDAH EQUIANO in which they both explains the suffering of the slaves.both pieces of literature also explains the struggle they faced while trying to gain freedom.
this paragraph shows that how niggers are fighting to gain liberty and freedom.he also tells us about how washington fighted for liberty.he talks about his masters that they always tells us about these all people and inspires us to fight with them too.In a paragraph he tells about other people that they dont let niggers to admit in common schools and sell black people's children on the block and insult their wives.
This song is connected to "BURY ME IN A FREE LAND".
because in that poem too the writer is talking about slavery and he wants be buried in free land where there is no slavery and fights for liberty.
"And I saw her babes torn from her breast,
Like trembling doves from their parent nest."
These lines are similar to
"And sell our children on the block,
Then choke us if we say a word."
because both are talking about the children that they are seprated from their parents and they are kept under slavery.
