Answer: In Merchant of Venice, Portia is a beautiful woman and obedient daughter, while Jessica is defiant and unreliable.

Explanation:

<em>The Merchant of Venice</em> is a comedy written by William Shakespeare. The main heroine of the play, Portia, is wealthy, beautiful, and so loyal that even after her father passed away, she respects the lottery protocol for potential suitors that her father set forth in his will. Jessica, on the other hand, disappoints her Jewish father (Shylock) by running away with a Christian (Lorenzo) and stealing his ducats, thus also abandoning her religion.

Answer:

I woke up around 8:30 am in the morning yesterday. When I looked at the clock I said “ Oh, I am getting late for the Yoga class and my teacher is going to punish me for this”. It wasn’t the first time (for me to be) I was late for the class and my teacher would get angry with me just because of the same reason: coming late to the class. Anyway, I brushed my teeth and put on my clothes immediately and went to catch my bus. As soon as I reached there I was shocked to see that the bus had already left, taking all the passengers from the bus stop. I sat on the bench and I was very worried. I had been waiting (I waited)there for the next bus for an hour, but there was no sign of it. I felt so frustrated and disappointed, and I didn’t know what to do. Just then one a car stopped near me and my friend Charlie called my name. I was very excited (happy)(glad) to see him, because we hadn’t seen each other for the a long time. He asked me “What are you doing there (here) alone?” I told him the whole story and requested (asked) him to give me a ride to the Yoga school. He smiled and said he would be very happy to do that for that. He drove as faster as he could and we finally reached to the school. I handed him over my business card which had my address and telephone number on it. He smiled again and waved (his hand to say) good bye.
