10C-The title of the memoir you are about to read comes from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Because their families are enemies, Juliet wishes that Romeo had a different surname. “What’s in a name?” Juliet asks. “That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet.” by

How important is a person’s name? How would you react if someone took your name away and assigned you a new one? Share your thoughts with a partner.

We agree that changing our names wouldn’t change who we are as people, because we bring value to our names, and not vice versa.

A persons name is part of their identity. Losing it and being assigned a new one might feel like losing a part of yourself. I would feel confused and disconnected.

A persons name is really important since it is a part of who they are . If someone took my name away and gave me a new one , i would probably feel confused and upset . A name carries personal meaning , and a new name would not feel like it belongs to me . I would take time to get used to it and i would probably have hard time accepting it at first . It seeems like part of me is gone .

A persons name is part of who they are. If my name was taken away I would feel lost.

A person’s name is what people remember you a, However, it dosen’t define him. If my name was changed, my personality and character would not change, but a part of my image that other people view will change.

personally, we believe that names are symbolic.its a sign of who we are and our family as well since names can get passed down, and we only respond to our names as well

Every name has a role, names differentiate people and have meanings in one’s identity. I would be mad if someone changed my name since it has a few important meanings. If I lose it, I would lose a part of me and feel uncomfortable

I believe that names do not change who you are but what you do and how you act gives that name a value. My name in arabic is سيمعان which means one who hears.

I believe that a persons name is more than just a word since it carries a sense of belonging, and It connects us to our family, our past, and the people who have called us by it with care and deep thought .

So If someone took my name away and gave me a new one, it would feel like losing a part of myself, as if my history and identity were being erased gradually and would make me feel lost.
