Compare two pictures / homework 4 - edited


Why is the music important to the different groups of people?

Both pictures show different kinds of musical performance. One of these pictures is about a specific musical performance. In the picture, we can see people wearing special clothes and unfamiliar musical instruments as well. Their ethnic clothes look like they are for a specific ceremony. Besides, they seem serious.
And if you concentrate on the musical instruments, you can find that they are rhythm instruments, you can find that they are rhythm instruments. So it could be a kind of religious ceremony. Rhythm instruments are usually used to encourage someone or create the atmosphere of some important ceremonies more seriously. That’s my opinion but it might be close to the truth. The rhythm music makes people who attend the ceremony solemn and sedate.
On the other hand, the other picture shows people who seem happier and lighter than the first group. They are playing modern instruments while the group in the first picture is playing ethnic instruments. I’m not sure but maybe they are a family. The man who is in the middle might be the youngest man in the group. So it seems to me that they are playing music to give him a happy moment. It could be a special memory for him. If he is not so good at relationship with his friends in school, the experience which is singing in the middle must be a nice way to solve that kind of problem.
So both of them need music. Music is one of the most important things. It can move our mind, that’s why they need it.
