The Gatherings
Every morning, as I walk to my first period class, I see them stop by the oak tree. I do not speak of the couple smooching on a near by bench every morning; I am talking about the birds. The diverse group gathers each morning under the array of branches, on the moist grass. Geese, black birds, small brown birds with black and white spots and the occasional crow are there pecking and eating the grass. The verity of birds are there resting tranquilly as they get set for their long journey; not worrying about the characteristics of the birds around them. Field notes October 21, 2014. "The birds seems to be like a small community, despite it is the first them seeing each other." Maybe we as humans should be more like birds. We shouldn't worried about the physical appearances as much as we do. We should accept each other so we can live on.

I think it's funny that even though you had to change the topic of your blog, it still was brought back to birds, like there's still a way to see the things you love in new ways.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with accepting people for who they are not what they look like. I like how you describe the birds, the details help me visualize what they look like. Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteNice blog. I liked the bit of humor you had there in the beginning. Nice description, I like how you referred to the birds as a small community. You have a great message with this too and I completely agree, people should not worry about appearance.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind switching places with a bird for a day honestly. The line about the couple kissing added some great voice. I look forward to reading more of your blogs.
ReplyDeleteI loved that you notice how many different types of birds are around, and you don't only look at them, but the surroundings of them as well. If anything that's what this assignment has taught me; to notice whats around me and not only myself. Which is kind of what birds do, that's how they live. They don't just live for themselves, but for the others around them as well.
