maybe just stick to the second paragraph to show how it effects them in school? ie. competitveness, selfishness?
you still need to discuss the opposite opinion?
jealousy is a negative emotion why? It causes people to do bad things.
thesis: Jealous is one of the worst human qualities, it causes friends to fight.
brainstorm:
3 examples
othelo--iago is jealous of cassio's promotion so he plots to get even against his friends and trusted friends, it cause friends to fight each other, and even to kill.
you could provide three examples or just talk about how it brought out the worst in you ie. made you mad, made you do evil things, how it made you feel?
or just provide 3 examples to show how it brings out the worst in people?
Othelo
Iago is very jealous of cassio's promotion so he causes havoc. He tells Rodrigo that his wife is cheating with Cassio. This leads to a fight. And causes Cassios demotion. So you can show that jealousy causes people to do bad things.
The, he steals Desdemonas handkerchief and plants it on Cassio. when othelo finds it he tells iago to kill Cassio--his best friend and loyal buddy--it shows it can lead to harm of other people
Othelo kills desomona--even to kill--
conclusion, jealously screws up rationale thought.
thats it 5 mins.
