This survey pulled to attention that in the text Romeo and Juliet there are differences between what you see in your perfect mate and what your parents see in your "perfect" mate, and the point was to make you think of the person your parents would choose for you if you had no say,including age,race,religion, ect. and the feeling of damnation that might follow unless you were lucky enough to receive somebody who you had any liking in. From my experience parents leaned towards selecting a match that was appropriate in the sense of well raised, has a future, and is morally straight.
The Perfect Mate handout is similar to Romeo and Juliet in many ways. It shows how your parents may not share the same interest in a mate as you do. This is similar to Romeo and Juliet because Juliet was supposed to marry a thirty year old man that her parents chose, but Juliet doesn't like. If my parents were to chose my mate, it would be similar to this. Obviously they wouldn't pick a thirty year old, but they still might pick someone with whom I am not compatible. In Juliet's time, it was not strange for such an age gap, but this day in age, it is not acceptable. But the main idea is still the same, your parents will most likely not pick the perfect mate for you.
The homework assignment was kind of awkward but I just treated it like any other homework assignment. Although my answers were very cliche, my parents answer was exactly what I expected and very close to mine.
My parents are supportive of what I want in a man, as long as he is a good guy. I know in Romeo and Juliet, in the beginning of the play, Juliet's father wanted her to like the suitor as much as he did.But, that quickly changed when she fell in love with Romeo. And I hope that that does not happen to me.
The homework assignment showed how you want your mate to be. With this, your parents want you to be with someone with different traits with is like Romeo and Juliet because their parents arranged their marraiges. I am into hot blonde babes and i am sure most of you can relate to me.
this is like Romeo and Juliet becuase the parents want diferent things than the kids. makes me think how our generations are somehwat similiar in how our parents can want diferent qualities in our spouse. In Romeo and Juliet the daughter watns to be with the son of the family that Juliets parents despise. That can still go today on how some parents dont like the kid that the daughter is dating.
The perfect mate is similar to Romeo and Juliet because they might like someone who there parents or someone close to them don't like. And just because someone dosen't agree with you it that shouldn't stop you.
I do believe that it is essential to share the exuberant nature of compatibility, because it explains in detail of the emotions that float among the mind. Love is a difficult thing to deal with, especially with our young hearts. Romeo and Juliet is a great perception to give to us to prospect and dig for those inner emotions. This makes me think of happiness related to the subject of love, because there is always a good and a bad side too it.
For my significant other I made sure I put down qualities and values that were important to me. For example I put down outdoorsy, I love to experience the outdoors whether through sports or camping, and I think that it is important to have a significant other with some of the same interests. My parents care who I date but it is not something they will be "over protective" about, which is something I respect because it means they trust me.
the sames between romeo and Juliet with this servey is how your parents may not want you to date people, but when you do, their is disagreement between you and your parents
This sheet represents and contrasts what your parents think about your personality, and what would fit you, compared to what you think fits your personality, an what you want out of a person. This paper makes you realize what are impartant characterizations in you and what you really want out of someone. Do you value your parents opinion? or do you confide in your own views? Personally, my parents trust my juudgement and my opinion towards a mate and all they want out of their children, is for them to be happy.
This homework assignment showed what I want and what my parents want. Some of those things were the same but some of them also were not. I know that my parents will be supportive of almost any choice I make with my relationships. They just want me to have a happy life.
In Romeo and Juliet, the parents want their child to find what they think is their perfect mate, and, just like with the perfect mate form, the child and parent may have different views on who they think their child should date. While filling out this sheet, I realized just how hard it was to explain the kind of guy you want or would find perfect while my parents wrote a list of qualifications relativity quickly. Even though most of the time I feel that my opinion is more important then my parents, I trust my parents opinion when it comes to things like this because they probably know the best thing for me.
The perfect mate is quite similar to the Romeo and Juliet story, except the death. It showed how your parents might argue with whom you pick to go out with or marry. It's like when the family of Juliet chose a 30 year old man for her to marry, yet she had no interest what so ever. This is like us. I don't want to go out with someone my parents choose for me. I want to make the choice my self.
I can't say I can relate to Romeo and Juliet's story of falling in love with one another, but being torn apart by there families. I know that, that wouldn't happen because my parents want what I want and if that means me dating there enemy than that makes them happy. Eventually they would learn to love one another. As long as I love her my family will love her to. That's how I feel about the response.
I know my parents support what I want in a perfect mate but they do have a few things they would like to see. While I look for the physical attractiveness my parents said they would like to see me with a woman who is nice and sympathetic. This relates to Romeo and Juliet because Juliet's father wanted Juliet to like her suitor but will respect if she does not. And he does not want her to end up with Romeo because he is an enemy. While Juliet's father wants her to end up with a guy she likes he has a few things that he wants in the man that Juliet ends up with.
I thought that this survey was good for us to see how we think of ourselves and what are parents thought we would like. This connects to Romeo and Juliet because of how my parents chose some different traits then I did and how Juliet didnt like the man her mom wanted her to marry.
My ideal perfect mate is not the same as my parents ideal mate for me. This is similar to Romeo and Juliet, because Juliet's parents wanted her to marry someone she didn't wan't. This makes me think that when it comes to situations like this, the person in the situation is the only person who can decide what is best.
This assignment was really similar to Romeo and Juliet in many ways because it shows that though your parents may have different views on things than you do, they do have many things in common with you. many of my answers were common things that most people probably said, but it was surprising to me that my parents had many of the same answers as I did.
My parents want the same qualities in a guy that I do. An important characteristic for a perfect mate is having a solid Christian faith. The guy should also be honest, loyal, loving, adventurous, and fun to be around. Juliet's parents wanted to make sure she liked Paris before they arranged the marriage. Juliet found all the qualities she wanted in a guy in Romeo not Paris. My parents want to make sure I am dating a good guy but they will not arrange a marriage for me because they trust that I will make the right choice.
