The humans fault

Humans should know the risk of the location and there limits, We should be aware of our surroundings.  We can't blame the land or the government for something that happens on its own. It's our decision and our call to do these type of things. Dozens of humans die for the actions, although mother nature takes a part it's nothing we can control, We still should have been more aware and alert of our surroundings

David Potts from San Anselmo California was fooling around at Nakalele Point blowhole when a large wave struck him from behind and knocked him into the hole (page 1). This just states that Potts wasn't aware of his surroundings. Article also states that search teams returned to the site and noticed that visitors continued to gather around the blowhole area despite being told that someone disappeared in the dame location a few days ago. An even as big as this must have been everywhere news, papers and people talking, These visitors chose to come back to the same location knowing the risk that it puts them. Therefore it's us the humans fault for putting our own lives in danger, if we choose to do these adventures we need to be more aware without surroundings, know our limits and be responsible.

After knowing more information about just this one persons actions and the societies decision of the location it's fair to say that it's us the humans fault. Although the location does not put signs we still should have put matters in our own hands. Us having the technology and other resources should research more about the environment we are going too. We need to know the type of weather it has and the risk listed. If you think about it how many times do you actually stop and read a sign, although people do stop and look majority just keep on going. It's our decision why blame it on mother nature

Final



During these times the Jew were hated for there religion because the Christians think that they should do religion how they do it. Shylock a Rich Jew was treated disgracefully by Antonio a Rich Christian man. Spit on and looked down on just because of religion. Shylock was a revengeful blood thirsty type of man and towards the end he just changed into a worthless man.
At this time period I under stand why Shylock could be a mean person, they treat his people and him self horribly, no respect and hate tread. Judging by how Antonio treats Shylock I can see what I’s like for the other Jew and I can see what it’s like for them at this time. It’s not fair how these people to be treated like this, they are all the same they just do there religion differently.
            In this time period everyone would trust people with borrowing money, but not Shylock with Antonio but who would trust a man who treated him with disgrace? Shylock wanted revenge on Antonio for what he did to him, and since Antonio needed money shylock came up with an idea on how he can achieve his goal on getting revenge “ If you don’t repay me on such a day, at such a place, such sum or sums as are in the contract, let the forfeit be agreed for a full pound of your fair flesh.”  So basically Shylock  wants to kill Antonio. This is why I feel like Shylock is a blood thirsty type of man. Why can’t he just say no to giving Antonio money for revenge instead of killing the man, that’s crazy.
            During the last 2 senses things go down hill for shylock, his daughter runs away and she steals money, then he finds out that he won’t be able to cut off Antonio’s flesh because In the court they decided Shylock can cut off flesh but one drop of blood cannot escape from his body. Obviously that’s impossible to do. So he lost everything. No money, no daughter, and no flesh.
            To sum everything up Shylock If technically the man everyone wants to get away from, a blood thirsty worthless person. Who wouldn’t want to get away from a guy like that. Moral of the story for shylock don’t a person who keeps his mind only on one thing and cares about someone that shouldn’t be important.

Merchant of Venice


“if you don’t repay me on such a day , at such place, such sum or sums as are in the contract, let the forfeit be agreed for a full pound of your fair flesh.” A quote from the book “Merchant of Venice” (William Shakespeare) The Character Shylock is a rich Jew that lends money to a man Named Antonio who Harasses him and treats Shylock very horribly. Why would Shylock lend money to person like that? Well because Shylock is a awful man himself he proposed a deal that states if Antonio does not repay Shylock he has the ability to cut of 1 pound of Antonio’s flesh. When I first read about shylock I saw him as a Jew who would get picked on a harassed by people, as you slowly read on Shylock turns into a awful person but then ends up worthless and lonely.

         After reading what Antonio did to Shylock I could tell in that time period your religion would get judge, in that case on how Shylock witnessed  “I’ve always shrugged this off, patiently, because suffering is the trademark of our race. You call me infidel, a cutthroat dog, and you spit on my Jewish garment” this just explains to me how hard it was for the Jew in that time and how they were treated for who they are

         After reading on in the story I’ve learned that shylock is a rich man who loans money to people, People like Antonio. In shylocks head he has a feeling that Antonio wont pay him back so in return if Antonio does not pay back Shylock, He will have the authority to cut off a pound of Antonios flesh just to get back at him for what he did. This just shows how evil Shylock really if. Yes Antonio treated him badly but Shylock just wants to kill him for his actions instead of having a better solution
         After the last 2 sense for Shylock everything just goes hill for him. He lost a lot of money, his daughter stole money and ran away then he finds out that he doesn’t get to cut off Antonio’s flesh because if one drop of blood comes out of his body then that’s if he will go to jail. So Shylock just becomes hopeless and with nothing else to do. I feel like Shylock put himself in this situation, if he cared more about his daughter maybe shouldn’t have ran away, if he thought things out more maybe he would have gotten the opportunity to cut off Antonio’s flesh!

         To sum everything up Shylock starts off are a Jew who get bullied for his religion, to a awful blood thirsty man and then ends up with nothing at the end. Through out the story I’ve learned that money can really change a person. I think if Shylock wasn’t so focus on all these pointless things maybe things would be a little better. He could of still had his daughter and his servant. He did this all to him self. So Shylock is just a Jewish man with nothing really much to do with his life anymore

Merchant of Venice pre-reading work

"Don't reply on outward appearances when making judgments"
I agree with this statement, because it's saying not to judge someone on how they look on the outside.    There is more to someone then just looks there is personality and a brain. In this generation people complain how it's hard to find a good person when the good people aren't always the most appealing looking person out there. When i first came to Moanalua in middle school i honestly didn't think i'd be hanging out with the people i do today. When i first met them in my head i said this isn't going to last very long but look now it's freshman year in High School and I have the most best friends anyone could have

" Justice is always blind"
I agree but also disagree with this statement because i honestly think out justice doesn't see or bother to look more into the topic,they just want to get things over with. On the other hand they take other crimes big on hand it always depends who the person is and what the crime is because everyone handles different things differently. I don't have a personal experience of this but i know from some T.v shows, News article and etc that our officers handle things differently with the type of case that comes to hand

"A brotherly love between two friends can be just as strong as an intimate love between a man and a woman"
I agree with this statement because it's like the saying bros before hoes or chicks before...it's like you can't split up a friendship thats been going out for like ever with a relationship thats been joing for for not even half your life. Your friends know you they understand you which is totally different from your girlfriend/boyfriend. Your friends will always be there to listen and understand you and feel you because they know you, which is totally different with a male to female its 2 different genders to different type of minds. Like me and my friends our friendship can't get split up by a guy because i would put my friends first if they need me then i'll be there i won't ditch them for a guy.

" You can break a promise as long as you have a good excuse"
I agree and disagree with this statement because it really depends on the promise if this promise is about your friend being depress then it is a promise that has to be broken because your friends needs help i rather save a friends life then be a part of it ending but if its a promise of not saying something to there crush then saying i have a really good excuse its just a really rude move because they trust you enough to tell you someone thing personal thats going in there life. I've experience something like this because a friend of mine told me that she was depress and did things so at first i kept quiet because she told me never to tell anyone, after a while i realized how dangerous me keeping it a secret was so i went straight to her parents and because of me telling her parents she is still here today.

"Love is blind"
I really agree with this statement because i see perfect people that should be together but they just don't see it happening. I think these days people fall for the wrong person, because at first they get blinded with all the fake things. Charm, humor, and how much they pretend to care but later on into the relationship you find out that they were just using you and they end up a cheater and that person in the beginning was just a fake to rail you in. I have personal experience with this type of boy and if wasn't very good i got blinded and I got broken it just shows how love can really play with someone and its hard to find the real thing.

" Stereotypes are often right"
I disagree with this statement because if don't think it's fair to the people who got labeled when they were born everyone is different and everyone was raised differently. It suck because most Asians hate math, a lot of Native American people hate koolaide. I think its unfair or the ethnicity that get labeled for how they act on tv. I have f=a lot of friends that are Asian and every single on of then=m get teased for there stereotype everyone thinks they are super smart and taking the top classes and everything.

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is a good motto to live by"
I disagree with this statement because i think if you do the same to the other person its not really proving anything it doesn't chance the fact of anything. I think you should talk to the person or at least give them a different punishment because you aren't proving anything nothing is changing and nothing is different.
