Part B :
I celebrated mid-autumn while Jess celebrates Christmas. There are some differences between the two festivals and I am going to tell you the differences.
Although these two are festivals, there are still differences and similarities due to the tradition of the mid-autumn festival. First, I will tell you about the differences.
The first difference is that when I celebrate mid-autumn festival, I eat mooncakes and pomelo while Jess eats ham and sweet potatoes for dinner during Christmas. These food are still very scrumptious.
The second difference is my family and I celebrate the mid-autumn festival with happiness and harmony, on the other hand, Jess celebrates Christmas with his family with arguments with each other and his father has nothing to say to him. The whole atmosphere of Jess’ family during Christmas is cold.
The third difference is during mid-autumn festival, my family and I do not exchange presents with anybody, however, when Jess celebrates Christmas, the family would exchange gifts, for example, Jess would give Leslie a dog while Leslie would give Jess a expensive set of art materials in return. Jess’ elder sisters would also think of items to give to their boyfriends and would expect them to give what kind of presents in return. His father would give a set of racing toy cars.
The forth difference is my siblings and I would play with firework, candles and lanterns, while Jess would play with his younger sister’s Barbie, ignoring his two elder sisters.
The fifth difference is that my family and I would go to events that would have special performances, such as lion dance and dragon dance, on the other hand, Jess go to the imaginary kingdom (Terabithia) with Leslie to play and to imagine about fantasy, which is very different with how I celebrated indeed.
The sixth difference is that my experience in mid-autumn festival is according to the tradition while Jess’ experience in Christmas has any way to celebrate it.
These are the difference between the spectacular experience of celebrating mid-autumn festival and Jess’ unforgettable experience of Christmas.
I will tell you about the similarities now.
The first similarity is that both families have come together to have dinner together.
The second similarity is that both festivals brought happiness to people around them.
In a nutshell, I think both experience with each individual’s festival is equally exciting and has brought livelihood and an atmosphere of festivity to the people around.
