After I completed my mind map, a question hit me: It is usually considered that spring represents beautiful things in life. However, can these common metaphors remind someone of spring? What the spring exactly is for people? What are their impressions about spring?
Therefore, I posted a question online to see if I can get some interesting and unexpected answers.
The website is a Chinese version twitter. (Actually, I have a twitter account, but I don’t have many followers, so…)
At last I collected 22 answers. Maybe I can get more comments if there was more time.
Some replies are really strange and unusual. Anyway, I wrote all the words down.
Here is a list of these answers:
It is obvious that not everyone enjoys spring.
Next, I wrote each word on a small paper.
Then folded them and put them in a box with a hole on it.
The result of this experiment is I got a “spring box”.
Maybe spring is not only a season for someone, but it also links to some memories or personal feelings.
I didn’t ask why my friends came up with those words. I think it’s better not to know the reasons. because if somebody picks one word from the box, he or she can guess what is the story behinds that word. And may connect to another experience in spring.
