[#7] War and Peace

[Assignment : Choose a public place around Yale campus and describe what you see.]

It was like a great medieval fortress. There were thousands of sentry boxes on the walls, surrounded with robust rampart. Iron gates were heavy and dauntless. It made me feel as if warriors were roaring inside. It must have been very difficult to assault here. This impregnable stronghold was called “Saybrook College”.


But now, peace is restored. Armaments are no longer needed. There’s no tragedy anymore. War is over!
The air is redolent of freedom. Inside the castle, there are many beautiful gardens. Flowers are flourishing, and the lawn looks perfect. Here I can hear laughter from those who are playing with giant swing hanging down from huge tree, and there I can see man and woman taking a nap together on a hammock. Even sprinklers are singing Ode to Joy loudly. What a happy moment!



However, once you get into the basement, you can see that there is a secret source of another harsh battle. There are a lot of guys playing with a video game machine. This is the game room, where every new battle starts. Sometimes those gentlemen brawl, sometimes they wail. Here is their bloody battlefield. Yes it is, the war is still continued, and it is getting stiffer. Their combat never ends…
