Reflective essay on "Spring"

Reflective essay on "Spring"

Have you ever hurt any animals? As you know, animals are also one of the living things. Animals also have a right to live. Now I’m going to write about the lesson I've got from the video named, “Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring.” To summarize this video, the little monk was interested at hurting animals. For instance, tying the rock on fish, frog, and snake. So, monk which is his master did the same thing to him while he slept. In other words, he tied the rock to him on his back. At last, he got a lesson from him and tried to save fish, frog, and snake from the danger.


I think his master is very brilliant and has a lot of intelligence (wisdom). I learned quite many things from him by seeing this video.

Actually, I have an experience which is related to this video in my life. Frankly, I have done that thing, such as little monk when I was young. While I was watching, I became quite embarrassed. When I was young, I haven’t known the importance of animal’s life. I had caught fishes and played with them. Also, for fun, I made them die by making them suffocate. Also, I have an experience of killing a dragonfly… I made it unable to fly anymore by cutting out its wings. I think I was very crazy…

I feel very sorry for them. As I wrote before, animals are also one of the living things. Because of me, some of the animals became handicapped. If I imagine I’ve got hurt by someone, I would be really sad. Even more, I could be killed by someone just like animals. I recognized that animals could be painful as much as we do.

After that, I try not to hurt them. Actually, I keep this thing in my mind not to forget anymore. From now-on, I’ll tell this thing to my near people such as my friends and babies. From this opportunity, I realized I was wrong.

In my conclusion, I’m not going to hurt those little insects and bugs, such as tiny ants, bees, and fishes. After I saw this video, I examined myself. To add with, I learned some lessons from the monk, such as little monk does. The lessons was first, as I mentioned it, I learned to cure for animals. Next, even though it is very small and weak as an ant, be careful and respect their precious life.

So I want many people to know the animals’ life are also very valuable as much as people do. And I’ll keep try saving some of their life from others and especially me. Lastly, once more, I really want to say those animals which I killed, sorry.

  2. This is well-written. You give a good summary of the video and related it to your life with examples. Remember to put a space between your paragraphs. Another lesson from this video could be learning that your actions have consequences so it is important to think before you act. Good job!
