Q: Which of your traits is your own kraken? Why?

Image
Lord Tennyson's poetry, "The Kraken" , is one of the great masterpiece of his work. When you first go through the poem, you will understand its meaning, both literally and metaphorically . Literally, it is referring to as a mythical animal or referring as religiously that it is a giant creature of God. The creature, Kraken is not yet discovered but it shows the darkness or evilness of human nature such as greed, jealousy, hate, rage, anger, etc. No one in this world is perfect and it's natural to have minimum one dark aspect in one's nature which is hidden from the outside world. A trait which no one knows about it or not yet fully explored it. For me, that one trait would be greed and jealousy which would be my own Kraken. Jealousy is not a bad or negative trait if you thought about it mentally, but if you think about or do it physically, then it will be a serious matter.

Q: How do you think the law should protect extremely poor people who cannot pay back their loans?

Debt bondage occurs when a person is forced to work to pay off a debt. They are tricked into working for little or no pay, with no control over their debt. Most or all of the money they earn goes to pay off their loan. The value of their work invariably becomes greater than the original sum of money borrowed. Bonded labor has existed for hundreds of years. Debt bondage was used to trap indentured laborers into working on plantations in Africa , the Caribbean , and South-East Asia , following the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade . Bonded labor is most widespread in South Asian countries such as India and Pakistan . Often entire families have to work to pay off the debt taken by one of its members. Sometimes, the debt can be passed down the generations and children can be held in debt bondage because of a loan their parents had taken decades ago. Bonded Labor in Different Ways.

Q: Where money decisions are concerned, which should you prioritize: personal relationships or financial common sense?

Money is primarily a medium of exchange or  means  of exchange. It is a way for a person to trade what he has for what he wants. Ideal money has three critical characteristics: it acts as a medium of exchange; it is an economic good and it is a means of economic calculation.   In other words,  we use  it to measure the value of various goods and services in an economy. It essentially serves as a standard of value. Money Copyright Owner: www.community-exchange.org When we first think of money, we came around these  clichés:  “A Fool and His  Money  Are Soon Parted” ;  “ Money  is Burning a Hole in My Pocket” and all the rest. We all must agree that money is also the vital and the most important part of our life. A man needs to have money to support his family. When thinking of money, some people criticize that money is for wasting, it is all evil, but you agree or not, money is there which is keeping us alive o...

She has a difficult time with her new life on Animal Farm, as she misses wearing ribbons in her mane and eating sugar cubes. She represents the Petit bourgeoisie that fled from Russia a few years after the Russian Revolution . Sketch of Mollie. Source: /animalfarmbymajorwhitestevens.weebly.com During the Battle of Cowshed, the humans under Mr. Jones try to take back the farm from the animals. As led by Snowball, the various animals launch their defenses using their individual strengths. Although the animals do finally repel the invaders, the men shoot and injure some animals. Mollie, a horse, had pulled Mr. Jones' cart when he still ran the farm. He spoiled her with sugar cubes, and she wore ribbons braided into her mane. Mollie does not handle the post-rebellion situation well. Missing her old, easier life, she shirks her new w...
