day three china

written by jeslyn tan(6) 2E:
firstly, we went to the anhui museum and we saw alot of relics from many years ago. one example was the splendid bronze culture that was used for sacrifices, weddings, banquets and meetings. we also learnt about the memorial archways that were used for landmark, achieving high office, exemplary behaviour and longevity; the different plaques of archways made from the family itself, from the place itself and from the country itself. i learnt alot from this trip to the anhui museum, also learning about the different paintbrushes and things related to it. i learnt that the relics were unique with different meanings, and that it must have been an honour to have a memorial archway for oneself if one were to do something good.

the next place we went to was the theme park that left a huge impact on us. one example was the circus. i felt that it was ok for me to handle as a tiger was made to jump onto a wheel with another tiger in it. however, some of my friends had started crying as they saw the sight before them and it hurts to see them cry hence i brought them out to comfort them. some people came out too, crying about how this was animal abuse. after comforting them, we went back in to watch the performance but we watched silently until the part when a small bear came out did some of my friends start to lose themselves again.

as we went to the playground to play, i felt that i saw a different side of my friends. i saw that they actually cared about what has happening around them and i learnt that although the people in the circus needed to earn money and risked their life by doing so, it was utterly wrong to use the animals for their benefit. i felt disgusted at the same time and was glad to see my friends having such reactions to such actions and if everyone were to stand up and state their opinions, i believe that such a thing would not happen again.

hence, i feel that it is wrong to use animals for their benefit. Do animals not have feelings too? perhaps these people needed money to survive thus they resort to such means.

i also felt that the class had became more bonded, however, this day has been so eventful i did not really take alot of pictures.
