Description

This photo of the classroom shows how every student sits in the same rigid position and when one student is called upon to speak, he or she must stand when they speak. This shows the importance of individual achievement in Chinese culture and it makes every other kid devote their attention to the student speaking. It also hints at the uniformity in the classroom as every kid wears the uniform and sits in the same manner.

Juxtaposition

While the students were attentive and respectful inside class, they tended towards loudness and rowdiness in the hallways.
