2) What do you think of Pozzo and Lucky? Why are they in the play? Choose some moments when you write about them.
I think Pozzo like money, and Lucky like us. We are the slave of money.

3) How is Didi different than Gogo?
Didi is a serious person, he likes thinking and observing, but he changed his mind easily. He remembers every single things. However, Gogo is forgetful, and he likes eating and sleeping. 

4) What are these two talking about, for what, for why?
They are waiting Godot and killing the time.  Meanwhile, they are talking about people are incapable of keeping silent. People are restfulness. Human’s mind can’t be tranquility. If we know how our mind works, then there may be much less misery.  

5) How is your life like Didi and Gogo's?
My life is like Didi, take things so serious and think too much. I like Gogo. He is open-minded and forgetful, but he is consciousness.   

6) If this play is not about God, claim 3 other things, ideas that the play is actually about? Point to parts of the play to support your claim.

This play is about life, habit, and friendship.

People are afraid of being lonely, so they always find something and someone to spend their life. In the play, Vladimir repeats saying that he feel lonely. Estragon said the same in act 2, “don’t touch me, don’t question me, and don’t speak to me! Stay with me!”

People believe that someone, like God, can give him a better life. People don’t do nothing and just waiting miracle to come.  It becomes kind of habit.  

Some people are easy to forget about things or events, like Estragon in the play. Some people do the same things in their all life for same result. Even they might know the result, but they forget their feeling of that moment after a period of time. So, they repeat it again and again. As in the play, Estragon and Vladimir knew that Godot will not come, but they do the same.

The play shows the friendship. Everyone is imperfect, like Estragon he has short memory. Vladimir has to remind him. Knowing imperfectness of another and completing and understanding is a meaningful thing of being human. In friendship, it shows kindness and doesn't give up each other.   

7) Is this play cynical? What makes us insecure? How much do people act out of their insecurity? What's the flip side of insecurity?

It’s a little cynical because Pozzo treats Lucky unfairly. Worries make us insecure. The insecurity makes people become dishonest and treat others unfairly.  Then, it creates unhealthy society, and this society has made us more insecure.  

1)   Write 10 or so sentences putting Godot in the context of the "Power of 10" video.

"Power of 10" shows that how small people are in this Universe and Galaxy. We have limited sight, limited knowledge. But I don't know how to link with the play.
