A Paragraph based on the Presentation (From"Red Thread Maiden")

      In the presentation, I compared the two characters -- Tien and Red Thread Maiden. Here, I am going to write a conclusion about the similarities and the differences between these two characters.
     
       In my opinion, there are 3 similarities. The first one is that both Tien and Red Thread maiden were active. When Tien felt sick, he wanted to move to Hsue's state, because the climate there was better than his state. In order to win, Tien even trained many fresh soldiers. So we can see that he was really active. Obviously, Red Thread maiden was also very active, because she thought that she could go to Weipo to make a reconnaissance alone. The second similarity is that they were both very appreciative. Here are some reasons to support it. After Tien found out that the person who stole the golden box was from Hsue's country, he sent a letter to thank Hsue and since then they became very good neighbors. And Red Thread Maiden said to Hsue that "It made me feel very happy to be of a little service to you to repay some of your kindness." So they are both very appreciative. The third similarity is that we can tell both Tien and Red Thread Maiden were very respectful through the letter written by Tien and the way how Red Thread Maiden talked and saluted.

     Besides the 3 similarities, I also found out some differences between the 2 characters. Tien was very pessimistic, however, Red Thread Maiden was optimistic. Even though Tien had many fresh soldiers , when he found out that the golden box was stolen by the person from Hsue's state, he still felt very scared and decided not to start a conflict. However, we can say that Red Thread Maiden was very optimistic because after she stole the golden box, and on her way back to Hsue's state, she felt that it was beautiful to see the morning breeze beginning to stir the grass and flowers of the wild meadows and the declining moon half hidden by the tall trees. We can also say Tien was very coward because he was afraid of conflicts even though he had many fresh soldiers. On the other hand, Red Thread Maiden was very brave because she was a girl and she had the courage to go to steel Tien's golden box alone.

     Finally, there are also some characteristics of Red Thread Maiden. She was very talented. She was well grounded in the classics as well as letter writing, and she was also good at music. Besides, Red Thread Maiden had a strong thought of male chauvinism.
