Merchant of Venice (w/ Malina)

INDIVIDUAL WORK

1. I agree with this statement because I've judged people by their outward appearances. Most of the time, my assumptions weren't correct about the person. Like they always say, "don't judge a book by it's cover" and that saying can be used in many different situations for all categories of places, people & things. 

2. ** DONT UNDERSTAND

3. I really agree with this statement becuase it can connect to bestfriends. Bestfriends share secrets, tell each other the deep things, open up to one another, stay by each other's sides and so forth. A relationship between a man and a women is very much similar. Both types of relationships hang out together and have the same qualities. Therefore, if the relationship between two brothers was to it's full extent, their relationship would be just as strong as a relationship between a man and women if true relationship was to the full extent as well. 

4. I agree with this statement because I believe that it's possible. I've witnessed people do it and I myself have been in this situation. Although I don't believe it's the right thing to do, it is a bad thing to commit to but I agree that you could break a promise with a good excuse. 

5. Love is blind, yes. I recognize my friends being blinded by so called "love". I, as a true friend to them, try to show them the things that they may not notice. Whether it be good or bad. Love does shut your eyes out from seeing what you normally would. If a partner is treating the other bad, and they're blinded by love, they wouldn't notice anything and they'd only see the good. 

6. Yes I agree with this statement. Even though it's kind of mean and brutal, especially on how our world sees racism. Majority stereo types can predict pretty well on how a group of people would be. 

7. No, I don't agree with this statement. Even though someone may have done you wrong, I don't think it's right for you to repay them for what they did to you. You should be the bigger person in any situation. If you decide to hold resentment and grudges, you'll be the one the suffer and it will only dig yourself a bigger hole. 

PARTNER WORK 

1. Usually when I'm sad I never really understood why. Such as when I'm trying to sleep late at night I feel really depressed and usually overthink. But then I think, there's nothing in my life that's actually making me feel like that. I basically just put myself down about being sad about nothing. My sadness aren't usually " strange " because I get sad very fast and when I get sad I overthink which makes the issue worse. But sometimes my sadness are strange because I get sad and I also feel sad during random times.

2.  I feel like this hasn't change. People take money really serious and money is important to them. Without money in this society you won't be able to provide for you're family or be successful. Money is also very hard to gain, you have to work very hard for it. You can't just lend money to people because what if they don't pay you back? You are loosing money in you're pocket.

3. I think this is right because if they are really poor I would lend them large amounts to help them get back on their feet. Sometimes when you do things you do it for the thought of it and you never do consider getting payed back because you did it from you're heart. The other person that recieves the money has to be reasonable and can't always count on you to pay them.

4. In society these days we already have conflict between love and religion. Even in our governments we have controversial arguments about what is right and what is wrong. So in this play it would make sense to clash.
