Highrise: Mazen

This is my compare and contrast essay. It is kind of long so don't fall asleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is from a site called  http://highrise.nfb.ca/  We had to choose one person from 14 people. I want to talk about Mazen. He is a guy who lives in Beirut and I am living in Korea. Oh! as a tip Beirut is a city in middle Asia. Now I am going to compare my life to his. I found some differences.

 First, the countries are in a different position. In Beirut there have been lots of wars and the city is destroyed.
But he doesn't give up. Though to his effort the war is still continuing. Bombs, airplanes and so on. Then he decided to make a song out of the bombing noise. He recorded the bombing noise and transferred in to a trumpet music to cheer him and everyone up. In here Korea you can't even think about bombing and war. Even though Korea is still a divided country. It is not likely to have a war here. I feel sorry that we are living in a such a
good environment but we didn't know people were in danger.

 Second, in here Korea nearly all of our buildings are in a fine condition.and we don't have to reconstruct everything. During reconstruction, there are lot's of dirt and sand floating in the air. It is never good for our health. But in Beirut there are wars as I mentioned. So lot's of destruction is going on. But we can't just leave the buildings. So in Beirut, lot's of reconstruction are going on .As I said, it is not good for us and the workers in the reconstructing area has to were masks. In Korea on the other hand, we go outside and there are lot's of mountain and fresh air;. So it is not bad as Beirut.

 In conclusion my country and Mazen's country is different because Beirut has war and reconstruction but Korea has a better life. I learned that we should also need attention to those countries which is in a bad environment and help them out. It is not good when some people is relaxing and enjoying their life and another is suffocating and fearing everyday. It is just not fair. I think the world should help the countries in war and help people not just caring about themselves.
