I agree with Olivia. I would not want to be a parasite of the pyramid. I would feel like I would be getting blamed for my job.

I agree! I would be a peasant because I would grow crops and help the society much more than a merchant. I would contribute more to society and not become a parasite and get rich off the other people.

I agree with Jack because I would be more loved by society than a merchant. Since merchants were at the bottom of the Feudal Pyramid they were kind of considered low-levels, and also I get to live in a little hut so yay.

I disagree with you Jack, because it is harder for a peasant to survive. One reason is because you would have to steal food, and you could be killed if you were caught. Another reason is that even if you were at the bottom class, you would be able to survive, and you wouldn't have to steal food.

Yes but, peasants had to steal there food risking getting killed. Also as a merchant you are rich and have all the food you need.

i would rather be a peasant because i would not just want to sell things.I would like to farm and i would like to own a small piece of land,rather then only organize the movements of goods. Also merchants sell merchandise to people, I would rather help people buy farming and growing crops for them.

I would rather be a merchant, even if merchants are at the bottom of the society class. I would be more successful, and would have a higher chance of survival. I would be able to have as much rice as I can, peasants would need to take risk.

I very much agree with you that we wouldn't have to worry about getting food and surviving because we get a a lot of rice.

I agree with this strategic planning. Yeah you might be considered a parasite and be at the bottom of society, but economically you are near the top.

I agree with you because I don't want to be starving and I don't have to spend time giving away my hard work and instead get rich while having very little human contact.

I would Rather be a merchant because we can get rich without really doing anything but a downside is we don't matter that much and are considered as parasites so we don't get a lot of care

I would be a peasant because you would not really do anything except grow rice. If you listened you would also be rewarded

I agree with you Erin because you would be rewarded but you would have to take rice to survive.

I would rather be a merchant, because I get more food than the peasants and artisans. I get more because I sell the armor and other things that the artisans made. Even though I might be considered a parasite in the class pyramid, it will be easier for me to survive.

I agree with Miah because s long as I have food and money to survive, I don't care what people call me. The peasants and artisans don't get much food and money so I would not want to be them.

I agree with Mary. When you are a peasent you get less food and have less of a chance to survive. At least as a merchant you could have enough to live.

I would be a merchant because wealth comes to them easily. They become wealthy off of very little work. You might be considered a parasite or scalper (someone who will buy stuff just to resell it at a higher price) but no works goes in and plenty of money comes out.

I would rather be a merchant. This is because the peasants had to hand other all there rice and had to steal it. As a merchant I had all the food I need and I was rich.

I would rather be a peasant because I would not want to be considered a "Parasite". I would also not want to be blamed for my job. Peasants can still get food because they can "Steal". I think that peasants aren't bad people.

I would rather be a merchant because you would get a lot more food than the peasants. When you are a peasant, you wouldn't get any food unless you stole it, where if you were a merchant, you would get food from selling/ tradind things. Even though you're selling/trading armor or food that other people made, you would still not have to risk your life just to get food.

I disagree with you. I would rather be a peasant because aren't you supposed to take risks in life? But, I do see your reason about how YOU ( not my peasant squad ) would get more food then US ( my peasant squad and me. ) I still would like you getting rich off MY work. I WAS the one who grew the rice so, I would still rather be a peasant.

I also think that I would like to be a merchant. Even though I would be a parasite to society, I would get rich and have probably more than enough food for myself and my family.

Okay, if you don't know me that well, I like taking risks. Not BIG risks like cheating on a test or robbing, because I don't wanna go to jail/detention for taking those risks. That being said, I would rather be a peasant. Before you say "But you would get KILLED!," let me give you some reasons. 1. Like I said previously, I like taking risks. And a big risk to take would be to steal rice. I would steal rice because if I didn't, I would die. And it seems fun, not getting killed. 2. Peasants are very important because WE ( my peasant squad and me ) give food to ALL of you guys. No joke. And 3. I just don't think it's fair that merchants are getting rich of ME! Soo, I would rather be a peasant then a merchant.

I would rather be a merchant because even though they make money off of peasants and artisans hard work, you at least have food and money. The peasants have to steal to get food to survive and they don't get paid much. Also the money that they get goes right back to the samurai as tax money. So with those reasons, I would rather be a merchant rather than a peasant.

I would rather be a peasant because I would be higher in the Feudal Pyramid than a merchant. I would rather be the one making the rice rather than selling it which seems more fun. I would also get to experience what it is like to be poor.

I would rather be a merchant because I have a better chance of survival and I am sure when I am selling things I get more than just rice so I can get rich faster and I don't need to worry about starving. I really don't care if I am called a parasite because I don't mind living separately and want to avoid human contact. Even if I am at the bottom of the Feudal pyramid doesn't mean I can't live a peaceful and happy life.

I would want to be a Merchant even though I would be seen as a discrace. I would be able to take care of me and my family. I would have enough money to have food and water.
