• Imagine all of the characters lived in the real world. What characters would have compatible personalities? Why?
• Which characters would definately be incompatible? Why?

Task 2: Critical Thinking

• Why do you think people have the personality traits they have? Are we born with them? Are they genetic? Are they shaped by life experience? Are there other factors? Is it a combination of all of these reasons?
• There is a famous idiomatic expression in English that says, "a tiger never changes his stripes", meaning that a person cannot change his/her essential nature. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Do you think it is possible for a person to change an aspect of their personality?
