“One Michael Cassio, a Florentine, A fellow almost damned in a fair wife, That never set a squadron in the field, Nore the division of a battle knows…” (I, II)

Explanation:
Iago prefaces by explaining his jealousy towards Cassio, who had been chosen for the position over himself. By showing this jealousy and comparing their accomplishments, it shows how his previous life experiences helped him decide what his purpose would be.]]> 2022-05-24 17:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2198054755 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2198056023 Quote:
"There must be a language that doesn't depend on words, the boy thought. I've already had that experience with my sheep, and now it's happening with people...Once again he saw that, in that strange land, he was applying the same lessons he had learned with his sheep."

Explanation:
The Boy's experience with his sheep had taught him how to listen to them and the world around him. Due to his inclination towards this, he is able to open himself up to the soul of the world and allow it to help decide his purpose. He is able to relate to the world, and allows the world to relate back to his previous experiences.]]> 2022-05-24 17:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2198056023 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201060474 Quote:  
"Why are you telling me this?"
 "Because you are trying to realize your Personal Legend. And you are at the point where you're about to give it all up."

Explanation:
The old man, Mekezidik, plays a very important part in the boy's story. The Old Man is there to provide both physical and nonphysical help. In terms of physical, he provides the boy with Urim and Thummin. These stones help guide his choices when he has trouble deciding. He also encourages the boy to continue the pursuit of his personal legend. He tells the boy that he will be there in many different ways.]]> 2022-05-26 16:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201060474 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201071916 Quote:
"O thou dull Moor! that handkerchief thou speak'st of. I found by fortune and did give my husband; For often, with a solemn earnestness, More than indeed belong'd to such a trifle,
He begg'd of me to steal it."

Explanation:
Emilia represents the importance of other people in our stories by providing a voice of reason to Othello. Her telling of the story helps change Othello's. Her actions (although not her story) serve as the catalyst for Othello's.]]> 2022-05-26 16:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201071916 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201073793 Quote:
"McCandless took life's inequities to heart. During his senior year at Woodson, he became obsessed with racial oppression in South Africa..."Chris didn't like going through channels, working within the system, waiting his turn. He'd say, 'Come on, Eric, we can raise enough money to go to South Africa on our own, right now. It's just a matter of deciding to do it.' "

Explanation:
McCandless's commitment to "life inequities" fed into a state of discontentment, which ultimately let him leave society as a whole. The experiences he witnessed in his life all contributed to an attitude that fed his purpose.]]> 2022-05-26 16:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201073793 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201095739 Quote:  
“My Heart Is Afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky."

Explanation:
The boy momentarily allowed others (specifically his fear of the future) to tell his story. Instead of looking toward the future and accepting the suffering that may accompany it, he is scared. However, he overcomes this and chooses to confront these fears head-on. ]]> 2022-05-26 16:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201095739 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201133642 Quote:
"Suddenly, one of the hawks made a flashing dive through the sky, attacking the other. As it did so, a sudden, fleeting image came to the boy: an army, with its swords at the ready, riding into the oasis. The vision vanished immediately, but it had shaken him."

Explanation:
The boy's purpose impacts the world around him and the way he sees it. Before pursing his purpose, the boy would have thought nothing of the hawks, but by following his purpose and connecting to the soul of the world he is able to have a changed world view and see things that aid his purpose.]]> 2022-05-26 17:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201133642 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201136061 Quote:
"He thought of the many roads he had traveled, and of the strange way God had chosen to show him his treasure. If he hadn't believed in the significance of recurrent dreams, he would not have met the Gypsy woman, the king, the thief, or… "Well, it's a long list. But the path was written in the omens, and there was no way I could go wrong," he said to himself."

Explanation:
The boy's purpose affects his destination and journey by leading him to many different places and meeting many different people. Exposure to new experiences is affected by the pursuit of purpose and fulfillment of personal legends.]]> 2022-05-26 17:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201136061 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201155435 Quote:
"Just as she let the past go, she was determined not to repeat it: my childhood would bear no resemblance to hers."

Explanation:
Noah's mother provides significant influence over Noah's childhood and helps to shape who he is as a person. She makes sure his story will not resemble hers, in an attempt to make a better future for him.]]> 2022-05-26 17:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201155435 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201162054 2022-05-26 17:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201162054 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201164928 Quote:
" 'Whatever the deal was with Alex's family, I guarantee you I've seen a lot worse. Knowing Alex, I think he must have just got stuck on something that happened between him and his dad and couldn't leave it be.' "

Explanation:
Familial relations have one of the biggest impacts on a person's personality, life, and future. Their influence changes a person's story, for better or for worse. Alex's family an his relationship with them lead him on his own path.]]> 2022-05-26 17:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201164928 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201173310 Quote:
"Look to your wife; observe her well with Cassio; Wear your eye thus, not jealous nor secure: I would not have your free and noble nature, Out of self-bounty, be abused; look to't:"

Explanation: 
Othello allowed Iago to tell his story and fuel his jealousy. He chooses to do this because his jealousy overwhelmed the reason needed for the situation. He allowed Iago to tell his story because he trusted him (ex. "honest Iago") ]]> 2022-05-26 17:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201173310 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201181872 Quote:
"By heaven, I saw my handkerchief in's hand. O perjured woman! thou dost stone my heart And makest me call what I intend to do a murder, which I thought a sacrifice: I saw the handkerchief."

Explanation:
To Othello, placing trust in Iago and allowing him to have control over his story was easier than solving the situation with reason. His misplaced trust paired with jealousy took precedence over everything else.]]> 2022-05-26 17:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201181872 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201190854 Quote:
"Soft you; a word or two before you go...I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice: then must you speak Of one that loved not wisely but too well; Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought Perplex'd in the extreme.."

Explanation:
We tell our stories through our legacies. In this excerpt, Othello acknowledges his legacy, and how it is tainted by what has occurred. People refer back to us through our legacies, and connect it to our actions.]]> 2022-05-26 17:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201190854 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201195950 Quote:
"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy: It is the green-eyed monster that doth mock the meat it feeds on"

Explanation: 
Jealousy is something that can drastically shape our persepectives, and needs to be kept in check. In Othello, jealousy consumes Othello, and shapes him completely. Life should be experienced without this hold of jealousy.]]> 2022-05-26 17:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201195950 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201608645 Quote:
“We tell people to follow their dreams, but you can only dream of what you can imagine, and, depending on where you come from, your imagination can be quite limited.”

Explanation:
Trevor Noah's life is shaped by Apartheid and the lasting impacts it has. This system ultimately shapes the way his childhood plays out, as well as the purpose he finds through his life experiences. Experiencing racism, domestic violence, and other significant moments in his life all shaped him and the development of his purpose.]]> 2022-05-27 02:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201608645 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201623739 Quote:
“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most."

Explanation:
Choosing to move past regret from choices in life, and things that you did not do can help one experience life. Regret is something to be feared, and going out and taking action should be encouraged.

]]> 2022-05-27 02:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201623739 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201631716 Quote: “You want to live in a world where someone is good or bad. Where you either hate them or love them. But that's not how people are.”

Explanation:
We allow others to tell our stories because of the preconceived notions they explain to us. These notions become deeply ingrained that fighting against them can seem extremely difficult. Lumping people into two groups leaves little room for other stories to occur. However, this quote confronts that idea by including, "But that's how people are."]]> 2022-05-27 02:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201631716 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201636148 Quote:
“Whilst my mother couldn't give me access to the world, she at least made sure to let me know it existed. A kid cannot dream of being an astronaut if he does not know about space.”

Explanation:
Noah's mother encouraged him to base his purpose on knowledge. In doing this, Noah's worldview is altered and his life is affected. He sees it through a lens partly shaped by his mother, and his own experiences. His life is affected because she makes him aware of the opportunities that are out there for him.]]> 2022-05-27 02:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201636148 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201637562 Quote:
“When it was time to pick my name, she chose Trevor, a name with no meaning whatsoever in South Africa, no precedent in my family It's not even a Biblical name. “It’s just a name,” he explains. “My mother wanted her child beholden to no fate. She wanted me to be free to go anywhere, do anything, be anyone.”

Explanation:
We tell our own story by diverting from the traditions of the past. Noah's mother chose his name as a fresh start, one that would allow for Noah to have control over his future, with no past restraints.]]> 2022-05-27 02:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201637562 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201641088 Quote:
“It's easy to be judgmental about crime when you live in a world wealthy enough to be removed from it. But the hood taught me that everyone has different notions of right and wrong, different definitions of what constitutes a crime, and what level of crime they're willing to participate in."

Explanation:
We allow others to tell our story by not considering other views or notions about certain ideas. Without having a sense of perspective, others tell our story through a singular lens. In reality, there is no one direct way to direct an issue. It has to be viewed through a lens of intersectionality. ]]> 2022-05-27 02:34:14 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201641088 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201646499 Quote:
“Learn from your past and be better because of your past,” she would say, “but don’t cry about your past. Life is full of pain. Let the pain sharpen you, but don’t hold on to it. Don’t be bitter.”

Explanation:
Purpose shapes our journey and destination by looking to the past as reference andacknowledging that it does not hold precedence over the present. This excerpt shows that by explaining how the past can shape you, but should not define you.]]> 2022-05-27 02:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201646499 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201651188 Quote:
"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind."

Explanation:
Others (in this case society) have set a conditioned set of principles for people to follow and strive towards. We allow it to tell our stories because going against these principles requires struggle and difficulty. It is not an easy task to defy them.]]> 2022-05-27 02:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201651188 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201652190 Quote:
“Children can be harsh judges when it comes to their parents, disinclined to grant clemency.”

Explanation:
This quote shows how a lack of understanding can lead to others telling our stories for us. Children can not fully understand the context surrounding their parents, and this often leads to misunderstanding. This lack of context sets a different story in motion from the child's perspective. ]]> 2022-05-27 02:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201652190 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201652738 Quote:  
“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”

Explanation:
We allow others to tell our stories for us by following their idea of what a story should be. Doing this instead of following our own path prevents us from forming our own, unique stories.]]> 2022-05-27 02:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201652738 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201653008 Quote:
“Chris would use the spiritual aspect to try to motivate us. He'd tell us to think about all the evil in the world, all the hatred, and imagine ourselves running against the forces of darkness, the evil wall that was trying to keep us from running our best. He believed that doing well was all mental, a simple matter of harnessing whatever energy was available.”

Explanation:
Chris's purpose of striving away from societal expectations directly affected the way he saw the world. His dissatisfaction with society, and the evils that accompany it, urged him to convince others to find their purpose through this as well. His life and relationships were affected by him finding his purpose.]]> 2022-05-27 02:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201653008 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201653736 Quote:
“But [Everett] and McCandless, at least they tried to follow their dream. That’s what was great about them. They tried. Not many do.”

Explanation:
Deciding to go against the status quo is one way to tell your story. The difficulty that comes with it is acknowledged and also asserts control over one's story. This excerpt acknowledges the difficult nature of the task as well as the recognition that comes with it.]]> 2022-05-27 02:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201653736 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201654309 Quote:  
“People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.”

Explanation:
Following what one dreams of allows people to control and tell their own stories. Following that source of fulfillment and satisfaction, it is allowing you to be in direct control of your story. The boy decided to follow his dreams (quite literally) and pursue his personal legend. This allowed him to tell his story.]]> 2022-05-27 02:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201654309 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201655141 Quote:

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

Purpose helps us experience life through discovering passion and genuine joy in what we do. Into The Wild shows McCandless's passion for the outdoors, and how that leads him to joy in his life.]]> 2022-05-27 02:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201655807 deutschl470 https://padlet.com/deutschl470/5mprtfji30l630en/wish/2201656132 Quote:  
"Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.”

"So would not I. My love doth so approve him That even his stubbornness, his checks, his frowns— Prithee, unpin me—have grace and favor in them."

Explanation:
Desdemona's purpose of unwavering love in Othello affects both herself and those around her. Her deep devotion to him partly fuels Othello's jealousy (because he now views her as unfaithful) and hurts herself, as well as Emilia. Purpose, even if good, can still have unintended outcomes.
