descriptive painting rewrite

Vertically,the painting is divided into 6 columns.The left 4 columns and the right 2 columns have the very different background. The left side is more reddish and much more dull; however, the right side has the olive greed and the burnt sienna color. The background color appears red. The whole painting used lots of warm colors. Colors the painter used are not the lemon yellow or the bright orange, but used the burnt umber, burnt  sienna, burnt ochre, and some medium yellow. The impression that the painting left us was turbid. The faces of characters are even not clear, but the shape and the outline of the characters are very clear. There are a few performers on the stage. There is a woman with the brown triangle hat and dark red suit playing the instrument which has a long pipe. The  pipe begins at the woman's mouth and then turn 180 degree and comes back to the direction of woman's mouth.  That woman is right in the middle of the picture and she is standing on another smaller stage which set up on the normal stage. She is facing us when we are straightly looking at the painting. The size of that woman is pretty big; for instance, her height is two thirds of the painting's width. She seems like wearing the black skinny paints and a pair of long C red boots. There are also three more men who are playing the similar instruments as the woman does. They are standing three meters behind the woman and there is a table in front of them. there are in the left of the woman and those men are not big as the size of them is only half the size of the woman. Those men's face just reach the middle line of the painting's width. Those men are wearing the regular gentlemen hats. They have the different heights- the man who stands in the left is the tallest and the other two have the almost same height. On the right side of that woman, there are two gentlemen and they are all wearing the fancy clothes- formal dress code, very English style and nice haircut. The one on the left of those two men is a little boy and on the right, there is a middle-age-man. The boy wears a burnt umber color suit but the older man wears the light brown suit. They face to the directions which the other one stand. They do not seems to dance or sing. What they do much more like two men were acting. The older man has a mustache was crossing his hands together behind his back. Those two men are not standing very close, between them, there is a space for another man who has the same size with them. On the very bottom of the painting, there are about 10  audiences in a line, and they are not really watching those performance but talking with each other and looking around; in addition, on the top of the painting, there are a few yellow lights, not big, just in a size of those gentlemen's hats. The woman and those two men are on the same plane and on the second plane, there 's a tree in front of those three men. The last plane is where those hat men stay. The audiences seem even much closer than the woman to us. They are almost in the same color, dark brown and black.

That woman is right in the middle of the picture and she is standing on another stage on the normal stage. She is facing us when we are looking at the painting. The size of that woman was pretty big; for instance, her height is two thirds of the painting's width. There are also three more men who are playing the similar instruments as the woman does. They are standing behind the woman and be about 3 meters in distance. Those men's head just reach the middle line of the painting's width. Those men are wearing the regular gentlemen hats and also standing on the left of the woman. On the right side on that woman, there are two gentlemen and they are all wearing the fancy clothes- formal dress code, and nice haircut. The one on the left of those two men is a little boy and on the right, there is a middle-age-man. They face to the directions which the other one stand. They do not seems to dance or sing.

The audiences seem even much closer than the woman to us.

The Process of reading a book

           Books are very important to us, as we will absorb a lot of knowledge from the book and the process of reading the book. Remembering the plot and understanding it are the necessary but difficult parts while reading although they sound easy. The stories in the books are related to abundant things around us, about our schools, families, friends, and many strange things happen or not happen on us. Different stories give us different inspirations and teach us various classes; those stories are filed in one and one books.

            Others’ experiences can help us learn others and ourselves better, so we need to remember some of the experiences to understand life more. If we just forget what happened, what we learn and what our impressions in those books, it just a waste of time. First of all, title attracts reader’s attention the most; it just likes the face of the book. We always need to see the title of the book first because most titles of books bring us the general information of the book; such as “the crucible”, it is a box-like tool melting metals and then getting gold, and we all know it is impossible. The same to a society, it means people tried to make a better society but it is always impossible. This book must talk about a story of a group of people strive to make a good society but finally failed. Secondly, we need to see the introduction in the front of the book, but we don’t need to watch carefully. We just get some basic information about the book, the background of the setting. It can help us know what the symbols mean, what characters really care about and the social conflicts. Then, we started to read the book. Basically, we all have the ability to understand and read. What we usually do is to annotate well since it will help you when you reread and know the story better. We circle the word we don’t know, mark the favorite lines and the questions, and summarize each page. In the end of a chapter, we can write down our expressions and our understanding of this chapter. Always put our own things into the book will make the reading and the book valuable. We need to keep doing that when we read although it seems very inconvenient. I don’t like this in the beginning when I do this way when I read, it can help us pass the quiz, test, and our essays. Of course, if you are reading something for fun, you can do this way, too. However, if you feel it will use a little more time than usual, you can choose the way you usually read.

            Reading books can be an enjoy of life. In the afternoon, stay in the balcony, sit on the cane arranged armchair, and read others’ lives.
