This picture clearly shows a section of the Great Wall Of China.From this picture, we can see that a little girl and boy is trying their best to climb one of the seven wonders of the world. Looking at the materials used to build this structure,we knew that the structure must be at least of hundred years.And indeed,from our contextual knowledge, the Great Wall Of China was built by the emperor of Qin dynasty,Qin Shi Huang. Since it was really years ago,it was no doubt that the structure appeared to be old and dusty.

The little girl in this picture is climbing the structure alone,indicating her independence. Her parents was not even with her,and thus she must be a very independent girl who could take care of herself.She also looked like a native to the country.This tells us that she must be familiar with the Great Wall Of China,or else she couldn't had climbed the Wall up alone without the accompany of adults.She seemed tired after completed a few sections of the structures. However,she also looked determined to complete the journey till she reached the peak.She must be a really brave and fine girl that is willing to fight against any challenges or obstacles opposing her.She is also decisive in a way that once she decided to climb,she will carry on and not give up halfway easily.From all the inference,i would not be surprised if this girl reached the peak.

The boy behind her is dog tired and distressed. He looked as if he does not want to carry on anymore.He come across as a lazy and timid boy,terrified to embrace any challenges. Once he is tired,he will stop and give up.This boy will surely not make his way up to the highest point.

This picture is shown to attract more people to visit the Great Wall Of China.In addition,this picture serves to teach us something important: do not be afraid to fight against any challenges or obstacles in life.Life is full of ups and downs,thus the key of success is how you overcome the obstacles. some will give up halfway and some will preserve,just like the climbers in the picture.But remember,only those who preserve will achieve success.

An admirable attempt to go beyond the superficial and to sustain a high level of analytical thinking. Why do you think that the children are climbing the Wall though? Do you think the two children are related?
