Merchant of Venice Anticipation Guide

Don't rely on outward appearances when making judgements; I agree with this statement because a lot people nowadays judge people on appearances. A lot of more people are judging races or the color of the skin of someone. But just because they are apart of the race they shouldn't be judged on it. Some personal experience with this is that a lot of people think that I'm British when they first meet me. It's because I'm supposedly really pale, which also makes people think I'm more stuck up, which I hope that I'm not stuck up.

Justice is always blind; I disagree with this saying. Some people are judged way to unfair. Like a lot people make one mistake like stealing a small item and they get severely punished for it. They might be wrong for taking it but it doesn't have to be such a big punishment. A person might even get to walk away freely, even if they do something severe. My personal experience with this, is that my brother called someone a hypocrite. So the person tackled my brother to the ground and my brother got in trouble. Supposedly the person received a worse punishment. 

A brotherly love between two friends can be just as strong as an intimate love between a man and a woman. For this saying I do agree with it. Friends are more comfortable around each other and they basically know everything about each other. Friendship also lasts longer than relationships. Friends can be themselves when they're around each other. For my personal experience, since I do move around a lot, I have lots of friends across America. I've managed to keep up a lot of my friendships with most of them, so that proves that friendships are forever and can last longer than a relationship.

You can break a promise as long as you have a good excuse. I personally disagree with this statement. Once you've made a promise you shouldn't take back your word. The person who promised with will be disappointed and probably won't trust you again. Trust is really hard to get back if you lose it in the first place. My personal experience is that I broke one of my friends promises and they started ignoring me for a while, until I apologized and tried to receive their trust again. 

Love is blind; I agree with the statement. A lot of people have unrequited love and the other person doesn't even see that the person loves them. People can't really see love, even if it's right in their faces. Also middle schoolers are getting into relationships, but it's just so they can have a social standing and not to benefit their relationship. I don't really have any personal experiences with love, but my mom on their first date with my dad walked out on him because he was from New Jersey. She never thought she was going to marry him.

Stereotypes are often right. This is statement is false. Stereotypes are often thought of true but that's just a judgement because of some people have the traits. Stereotypes are often perceived by society of how a person of that persona should act, which in most cases people don't. It's more like judgement from far away. In my personal experience, a lot of people I know are perceived as something, but they don't follow any type of stereotype. They are their own person.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is a good motto to live by, is not a good motto to live by. This is basically saying something along the lines of I'll do something for you but it's going to cost you. Which the person who says this can be thinking of something rash for repayment. Which isn't really a good motto to live by if this, Through personal experience it's not good to bargain something if you don't know what the price is for it, because it could be something rash.
