Up there is a picture of a cellist playing in the remains of the shattered library of Sarajevo. The cellist in the picture is Vedran Smailović, who played his cello at funerals during the siege even though funerals were targeted by snipers. So if he is not the man depicted in the book, or if the man in the book is not real, this man is very much like him. Sitting out in the open KNOWING he could get shot, he plays his cello.(either he's very brave or he doesn't care about his life, but considering he went to multiple funerals I'd say he's brave.)I like how it seems like his name says "Smile" in it. Like he's supposed to bring happiness to the people who are covered in fear and sadness.
I also think he's trying to say a message by playing in the destroyed library, something along the lines of "You can destroy the building but you can't destroy us!"
Hi Joel, this is William commenting on your post.
ReplyDeleteOverall, you did well finding and describing the picture above. The job you did was good, but could have been better in a few ways.
First of all, you forgot to capitalize some words, and didn't space many words properly. It will be redundant for me to point out every one, but it's nothing a simple spell check can't fix.
Secondly, you gave the impression that you were not being too serious while writing this blog, shown by referring to cellist as "very stupid", by capitalizing words unnecessarily, or by using phrases such as "something like that". I understand that this may be your style of writing, but I would personally recommend that you stick to writing in a more mature format, if you would like people to take you more seriously in the future.
In conclusion, you made a decent effort, but you could've done better.
Ok senior, I fixed the spelling, couldn't find those "Spacing problems" fixed the capitalization and wording. merry christmas.
ReplyDeleteSpaces before every paragraph is required; also, you need to leave a space after every period and bracket, and before and after a quotation mark.
ReplyDeleteAdios.
Excellent photo choice and appropriate reflection.
