How do you want to be remembered when your day comes to die; the day when you are to leave this earth? Will it really matter where you are buried? For this field trip, we toke a different route and visited two, very distinct cemeteries. You would probably never thing that there would be a big difference. When you compare both of the cemeteries, it makes you realize of the variations between them and the economy also. Glenwood cemetery was the "rich", in the way that everything was lovely and big, and it was very clean, while Olivewood cemetery was the total opposite. Tall grasses, branches covering stones, as well as that they had broken them. It looked like they didn't have no respect towards the people that laid beneath those grounds. It really showed a contrast of many aspects in life. It showed how some people separate each other by race, sex, or religion.
Glenwood is the cemetery that has famous people and that is from a real high class and that came form a wealthy family. In this cemetery everything was peaceful and you could hear the birds singing and color flowers blooming. I felt relaxed and that I was in a friendly place, that I didn't have to look back to see if someone was following me. It look so fancy that I wished that could be buried there whenever I die.
What can I say about Olivewood? That cemetery was the opposite from the other place, tall and ugly grass. Wed and branches everywhere, no flowers at all and there was no color just the grass green and the stones. There where no people there, it was lonely and it was abounded, but the time I was there I had to look back every minute to see if anything or anyone was following me. It sounded so noisy because of the highway right next to it, and there where crickets that would make me focus more on that them, then for the reason that we were really there for. After I got out of there I felt dirty and made me think where do I really want to be buried at. With who, what kind of serves do I want to have. You probably say well I don't care because I'm going to be dead, but looking at it wouldn't you want someone to go see you and leave you flowers for your birthday, Christmas, mothers/fathers day?
