Reflective Essay on "Spring"

Hello everyone, my name is Seongmin Jeong and you can call me Harry. Today, this writing is about a video called "Spring." This video starts with a kid, The kid ties a string with a rock to a fish, a frog, and a snake. The monk sees that and when he went to bed, he ties a string with a rock to the kid. The kid says to put it away so the monk says first put away the animals from the string, so he went and saw 2 of the 3 animals died. I learned a very big lesson from this video. This video was not long, but it has a very big lesson. Can you find the lesson? I will tell you what I learned from the video.   

I will tell you my story. Our apartment's rule is we need to park the car facing to the grass. My mom told me why we needed to park like this. The reason was because the grass will die because of the gas which is coming out in the back of the car. I thought that grass would not die because of the gas. I thought it was very annoying but later, I learned that they will die because of the gas. If one car does like that, it will not affect a lot, but all the car does everyday, it will be harmful to the grass.

Think about changing opposite. You have once tried to catch the dragonfly and rip their wings. I have done it also. Think opposite. Do you think it will be happy if your legs and arms broken by a giant? I would not be happy also! The animals are the same. The only thing is they couldn't speak. Even if it is an animal they can't speak, they will feel very angry and hurt.

After watching this video, I learned that we should not harm animals. Before, when I went to my grandfather's house, I caught dragonflies and put them into coffee. I am very sorry for them. Now on, I will never harm animals. They are hurt, but they can't speak. Do you think animals will be happy if you rip their wings or make them tired? I think they will rather be sad than happy. I will care for animals from now on. I'm very sorry to animals which I hurt them. Let's treat animals as human. They are living things.
