collaboration

Collaboration. In order to make intellectual statements, you must collaborate with another intellectual. An intellectual may consist of many different types of people. The student, the teacher, the uneducated janitor... anyone can be considered an intellectual. Sharing your thoughts must be communicated to another person, whether he or she may be contributing to the idea or not, would be decided by their amount of knowledge on the subject, however, all imputs are necessary. Together, doctors influence diagnosis's of a patient for generations to come. Their research combines into the most valuable to human society while they make meaning and combat eachothers ideas and they prove or disprove theories.
In a classroom setting, the teacher is the operator, and the students are the operations. It is their job to decipher what the teacher is formally announcing to her students. In groups, their is a leader, workers, and piggy backers. Everyone has their own attributions to the group whether as idea formers, progressors, or followers. To make intellectual statements the entire group must form, rework, revise, and devise the plan in order to form what they agree on as a whole.
Take writing for example. As a writer, I read someone else's work and take their opinion on something. Then i decide how I feel about what they have written, thought about, and decided to use as a writer. Next, I take what I have felt to be true, elaborated, and edlted and put that all onto the paper I will take credit for. This is called academic writing, "writing about other people's writing" and made into something of our own. It take multiple intellects in order to come by a finish project. An idea is only that of many combined.

Sport Royal

Maria uses the term "sport royal" when referring to the trick she is planning in Act II Scene iii, "Sport royal, I warrant you: I know my physic will work with him." Maria has created a sort of game while she begins to plan her trick to play on Malvolio. As a servant, Maria would normally be portrayed as more dumb and lower than someone like the business man Malvolio, however in Twelfth Night Maria devises a plan to fool Malvolio. Maria's plan is clever contrary to the stereotypical servant character. The plan turns into a sport and the characters involved into the players, the trick turns into a conflict where once again everything in Illyria turns into madness and nothing is as it seems. Later in Act II Scene iv Maria says, "If you will then see the fruits of the sport, mark his first approach before my lady..." when she comments on how her game will play out according to her plan. The entire play is apart of the game that Shakespeare is playing with the characters.

Concordance questions!

1. Thematic strand-
Body, lips, eyes, neck, nose, hands, ears, legs, feet
2a. Where does the data appear?
Shakespeare uses imagery of body parts throughout the entire play. I found that Act 1, Act 2, and Act 5 have body parts being mentioned mulitple times within each of the acts.
2b. In what context?
In the begininning of the play Shakespeare uses body parts to express feelings towards a person. He expresses beauty and lust with in the characters by talking about lips, eyes, and necks. The imagery he uses brings beauty to mind, and with beauty it brings love because we are lead to believe it is pure and true beauty. Towards the end we find that the superficial and shallow beauty of the body is false and untrue. Original thoughts of how we were lead to feel about the characters and their feelings towards eachother have all been rearranged and turned upside down. The darkness stands for the coming out of the truth.
3. Obsessive use of the data retrieved?
Shakespeare's obsession of the human body is portrayed through my data because the redundance of the descriptions of body parts brings imagery to mind to help you feel the way Shakespeare wants you to feel towards each character.
