Contrasting rich and poor in Hong Kong

I have learnt many speech communication by recital books. I have never enjoyed indication nevertheless if I specify a book I like, Ill read it. This is how I learn in the buff words and hence, I have a better English education. of all time since I was a toddler I have never enjoyed reading books apart from when I choose them. I always chose the books with with loads of words on a page with hardly any pictures. Therefore, it has become a habit in my simple life as I was slide in the pool of words since I was 6 years old. The preferred play that captivated me the most is called Educating Rita.The play Educating Rita is written by Willy Russell. It is establish on contrast as the main characters Rita and Frank have real different backgrounds. Frank is fountainhead meliorate (academic background) and he is a prof who teaches English in a university but Rita is a hair-dresser (working class background) who has not been well educated. Rita called herself a freak and half caste. She wants to be educated because she says I wanna live on. She knows she is not educated yet and dimly realizes what education is. What Rita wants is to be off of her social class. For her, education is a means of achieving this and she is probably responsibility. She instinctively knows she lacks something and thinks a university degree will fill the gaps in her life. Rita is eager to learn all(prenominal)thing and she is energetic.It affects me as it reflects the sharp contrast betwixt the condition of forgetful as well as middle class and privileged mountain. The reason why I thought in this way is because thats what I see all(prenominal) day in the streets and my feelings.In Hong Kong, poor people are living in a confined space. They are living in houses that are ring by tons of rubbish. Whenever I walk pass the area with this types of housing, I could always hear the sizz.sizzsizz sound, and I am not sure if it comes rats or other insects. It has a foul smell too, an d yet, people are living in this kind of environment. In contrast to the poor, the risque and middle class people are living in houses and mansions where room are air conditioned it is clean and is relatively comfortable. At night the poor housing area is overwhelmed by darkness, but I know there are people living on the side of passageway and of that area.We are staying in a cool area but they are suffering from heat from the sun. We sit on comfortable chair but they sit on the ground with germs. The contrast is a little awkward for me. Thus, sometimes when I cannot sleep, I will start to wonder what if I am one of them who live on the street? Will I survive? People living in that area have no money. In addition, they have to fear and tolerate what might happen to them every day. Sometimes, I think the poor have more courage than I do. What could I do for them? Most of the time, I could only feel bad for them, and usually we will forget about them and live on with our cause life.It is vitally important to me because their experiences instill a certain fear in me. I told myself I dont aspire to be a very rich person, but I am really afraid to be poor. I dont think any amount of money is ever enough to attend the poor who live below the poverty line but every penny counts We must also accept the fact that corruptions has add on more problems to this major issue, but we must always tell ourselves weed rescue how many are how many. This is, we must always moreover as many lives as we could because every life counts.The existence of poor and rich in the society is unavoidable, but the disparity and gap between them should be reduced as much as possible. The rich may have the right to spend as copiously as they like to live in comfort, but the poor should also have the right and means to keep the body and soul together.Embracing the poor, engaging the rich.
