Contrasting pieces

     The construction site was average-sized. But when you walk past the tall metal fence gate this average-sized site becomes a whole other world with its own atmosphere. When you walk into this construction site the path you walk on is hot from the beaming rays of the sun. The path was also rough and bumpy when you glide your hand against it. The path was also made of a blackish-grey colored asphalt. But when you walk off this blackish-grey asphalt path you see a construction lot filled with brown and green. The ground of this construction site was filled with patches of different sizes and types of bushes and light brown dirt with white rocks mixed into it. The bushes were of different sizes. There were small, thin, rough, light green bushes and there were also small, full, silky to the touch bushes in this lot. But the atmosphere of the average-sized construction site is different from the atmosphere of the road and the apartment complex that stand behind the metal fence that separates them. The atmosphere of this construction site was simple but filled with complex things. This construction site was not busy but open. This construction site had a peaceful atmosphere because of all the different types of nature and insects that lived in and amongst it. From the inside of this construction site, you could hear the speeding cars and turning wheels of the bicyclists that are on the other side of the metal fence gate. But the sounds of the cars and the bicyclists were not the only sounds that you could hear from the inside of this construction site. You can hear the sound of the buzzing AC unit that connects to the trailer that sits by the far left of the fence that separates the site from the school that stands on the far left of the other side of the fence and the tailor. You could also hear the sounds of the birds chirping and the bees buzzing as they fly through the site and you can feel the cool breeze that carried the smell of fresh air. 


      Its the day of the grand opening of the school that sits on the same lot that I have just described:

The construction site was not a construction site anymore; it is now a high school. The peaceful open construction site is not open anymore. However, the atmosphere of this school that sits on the same land that the site sat on does not have the same atmosphere. The school's size was massive. It was constructed to be shaped with different shapes and sizes. It had squares and half-circles and triangles shaped into it. The school had a ton of windows. It had a whole half-circular wall of windows built into it. The school's walls were different colors; they were light blue, dark blue and white. These colors made the school feel and made you think of the waves of the ocean. The school also had different types of trees and bushes located on the outside of the school. They were located all around the school and at the edges of the pathway that leads to the school. There were tall rough to the touch palm trees and small stubby palm trees too. There were thin sharp light green bushes and small full green bushes. The pathway that leads to the school was made of bricks. The bricks that the pathway were made of were light brown, light orange, and white. The bricks were rough to the touch but had a white powdery substance on them. The sounds you could hear were the birds chirping from all around you. You could also hear the buzzing of the bees that flew by and the chatter of all the people that were excited to see the outside and the inside of the finished product of the school. Every single person was excited to finally step foot into the school. There were all types of excited people. There was a sea of different sizes and ages and genders and nationalities of people. All these different types of people made the energy and made you feel cared for and made you feel safe inside the walls of the school. The only thing that stayed the same from both the construction site and the school was the breeze that smelled like fresh air.
