A place that shares people’s circumstances is the “Love Lock Bridge.” This symbol of commitment begins when a couple falls in love, gets married or starts dating. The couple then buys a lock and key, writes their initials on it, lock it on the bridge, and throw the key in the water. Many people would visit the bridge with their lover to proclaim their love with the lock. People from around the world visit Paris for the bridge. It’s attraction has caused many people to buy locks.
It is believed to have originated in China. The tradition in China was thought to be after two got married to lock a lock on a fence or gate and throw away the keys. It symbolically means that they are locking their love forever. A lot of people go to the bridge to admire how many have fallen in love, or want to proclaim to their love. People also like to wonder how many years ago they were put there and how long they will be there. It helped people connect more emotionally than physically. It helped people understand what other people are experiencing.
This is a great example Morgan. I like how you explain how people are able to communicate through the "Love Lock Bridge." I think you did a phenomenal job on explaining this. This is such a creative example and it's so cool how it is an actual place that people can still visit. I agree with you on how people communicate by wondering how long the lock has been there. They each share the same experience when they buy a lock. Overall, this is well written and a great example. Good job.
ReplyDeleteMorgan, what a great job! This was very inspiring and just to think how many people would put a lock on that bridge.Maybe I hope if i have a love make a trip over there and do this technique.Whoever has thought of this was probably madly in love and wanted to do something fun. I remember a movie i watched where this man and woman tied there shoe strings on a tree and would always visit it.It made them feel happy and I feel like it relates to this in a physical and feeling-able way.Fantastic job Morgan, i'm glad i got to learn and understand more about the "Love Lock Bridge".
