Independent Reading #2

 Quote : At first one, then another, then almost every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and holds it out to me. It is an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It mean thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someonve you love.

 
 
 As you can see, there is a scene like the picture in the movie 'The hunger games'. I didn't know the meaning of the gestures until I read the book. I had to guess that motion, and I misunderstood about that. So, it was very interesting to me after I understand the meaning. If I did not read the book, I could not know many hidden interesting stories like this.

  4. Hi Minjung,
    yes, that is true. sometimes we read something, but we do not understand it until it is provided by motion, demonstrative chart, etc. On the other hand, sometimes we watch something which remains ambiguous until we read about it, even it happens accidentally.

    AHME:)
