Samson Girma- Pardon the Interruption

Student Choice- Pardon the Interruption
I was at a show outside of the Peninsula Fine Arts center where my roommates were performing on a nice fall day. After their set we stuck around to check out the following acts. During this time, I was enjoying the music just having a good time when I looked into the sky and saw a rainbow. I tapped the person next to me and told her to look up at it, and she couldn’t really see it at first because of its location in the sky but with enough of my pointing and directing of her eyes she found it. She then proceeded to do that whole sequence with the girl next to her and as she did that I noticed how literally the entire crowd’s attention became directed at the sky, with people admiring the rainbow and trying to share the experience with the person next to them. The band on stage was even wondering what was going on. This demonstrated to me how fascinated people are with nature and how much they appreciate it. No one seemed dissatisfied or uninterested once they saw it, there were no signs of “oh that’s it?” in the crowd. The central idea for the paper I’m doing for this class is that people naturally have a connection with nature, and what happened this day helped display this idea. It showed that all different types of people see nature as something beautiful.
