Today at Literature's lesson , we were asked to do a test on the conversation between Shylock and Portia , we were given 10 minutes to do and i guess i am lucky to have done finish the questions before the time ended. At the same time , Mr Chua. Had also gone through some questions by asking some student to answer those questions . By that time , i think that we ought to speak louder to teachers as it is a waste of time to repeat the answer when someone couldn't hear it .Portia and shylock were in the court fighting for the case whether if it is appropriates to cut a pound of flesh of Antonio's . Being a stubborn and cruel merchant , the jew , Shylock was , He sworn to the god and his should that he must take the pound of flesh. Mr. Chua had also given a piece of homework to be done on the next lesson which will be on next Friday. It is , also relevant to the story of "Merchant of Venice". I think , from the character of Shylock, we learnt to be merciful to others and not be so stubborn on insisting your own opinion instead of listening to others , this is also taught us that we have to think smart like Portia. At the same time , we mustn't be racist , as in , treating other races equally. For the second worksheet, teacher asked us to take it home and do it as homework and the paragraph is about Antonio and Shylock's conversation. We shouldn't insult other's religion and merciful to one another. We, at the same time, should uphold importance of racial harmony. Antonio disrespected Shylock, and naturally , Shylock will hate him and murdering is like a sort of revenge for his religion as he wanted people to respect his religion. We also should respect other people's religion and not be bias about one another. |
