The Airport
There is this magnificent sight of the early sunrise beaming over the horizon. Quietly I walk through the sliding glass doors of Denver International Airport, reminiscing my past trip home. All of the wonderful faces strolling to their respective gates, thus creating a light breeze with every passing body. The warm sun shining through the glass windows as if to brighten the lives of those within the glass panes. Now, sitting at my gate awaiting my plane, I close my eyes and listen closely to the world around me. Birds chirping up above, the chuckling of amused children, and the faint harmony of men and women conversing in the terminals.

I assumed that I would be able to easily describe a place both positively and negatively, and that is where my issues first began. I went to multiple places to examine, and in the early stages I found myself struggling to find the negative in a place I described positively and vice versa for positivity in a negative description. Then I went home for the weekend, and found this perfect place that had both. Yet, I still had difficulty to get the paper going. I noticed that I was telling more of a story than just simply describing the place. So, that’s why I loved this assignment.

However, for me that was one of the easier aspects of the assignment. It was natural in a way to make sure that each sentence lined up with the same facts. It all depends on how you spin your negativity. You can’t be so exaggerated in the negative that it then depicts from what you were first trying to say. I know that everyone probably says it, but this essay is really an example of how you see the glass. The glass has the same contents in it either way, just like how each description has the same content. We were forced to first see it half full, and then dig deep into our thoughts and see what the content was lacking, and thus bringing us to our own versions of it being half empty. This assignment really helps us decide who we are, half full or half empty. It is an experiment in a way, which aspect did you find easier to describe, and that tells us which person we are. Contents in the cup don’t change, but which end do you look to
