My Two Brothers are Dismantled by The World

Every person is a new door to different world (Six Degrees of Separation), a brief quotation I unintentionally found in magazine two months ago really enlightens me that having differences is very pervasive. It is the omnipresent power of nature that assembles every person is different from the others; although they are real family, there are still differences between each in family. The power of nature persuades me that the world between my two brothers is definitely acceptable as well. Once you see my two brothers, you may argue that they are not exactly siblings, yet they are. It is in common that beauty is in the eye of beholder, yet it is not only about the taste and preference. My two brothers are really different in every way; you would distinguish more differences rather than similarities. Moreover, you might conclude that each of them owns their own worlds without a line connecting their worlds. My first brother and my second brother greatly live in disparity as both of them have their own special characteristics, and these three comparisons would reflect that the world of dissimilarity between my two brothers is truly exist and makes each of them poles apart.

To begin with, the most distinguishable difference is their appearance. My first brother, Akrim, is fat, plump, broad-shouldered boy; otherwise we can say that he is big. Surprisingly, he is much taller than my father whose height is merely reaching Akrim’s ears since Akrim’s height is approximately 180 cm. Thus, he is the biggest and the tallest person among my family as well. He has ginger and wavy hair and he always tousles his hair as he does not really like neat appearance. He has never had his hair be combed; he likes to wear t-shirt everywhere he goes and indeed jeans. I once asked the reason he likes to live in messiness and he answered me briefly that he feels uncomfortable being neat. Unlike Akrim, my second brother who is called Haidi is the smallest and thinnest person in my family; however, he is not the shortest. He is in averaged-tall for boys aged 15. He has black and thick hair; moreover, he is kind of person who will not have a hair out which means he really likes to have neat appearance. I rarely find him wears t-shirt as he always wears shirt even when he wants to go playing with his friends. When you see Akrim and Haidi stands in line, you will notice at a glance how different they are. Hence, appearance is the first difference that they show to you.

The second thing that makes them really live in disparity is their personal traits. Akrim has worse personal traits as he is such a foul-tempered person. His temper is easily flared when he notices a thing does not suit him and he always punches his brothers or sisters when one of us unintentionally annoys him. Suppose you get his punches, you will never forget the pain for the world as his arms are perfectly made up for perfect punches, strong and big. That is the reason why I always avoid arguing with him. Not only bad tempered, he is also kind of person who has less patience. He panics easily when he could not find something he looks for and the worst things are he often turns the place upside down and yells loudly. In contrast, Haidi is much calmer than Akrim. He never shows his anger off; he prefers to be quiet when he starts to get mad. He can deal with patience and he always does everything carefully, unlike Akrim. He speaks softly and his speech is also well-controlled. Therefore, Akrim uses his heart less than Haidi does.

The last dissimilarity you can notice between my two brothers is the way they use their brain or the way they learn, one man’s food is another’s poison. Akrim could deal with numbers standing on his head. Solving physics and math problems is like falling off a log for him even he does not know the formula; he uses his logic to create the formula and solve the problems. He has passion for numbers and computer programming. However, there is a weakness frightening him, it is his inability memorize written theories. Red marks always appear in his school report for English, Biology, and History as well. Different from Akrim, Haidi has his main power in memorizing; consequently, his English, Biology, and History are almost in perfect score. He thinks nothing of memorizing the brain cells; he needs only few minutes to memorize them all. He is the master of memorizing lesson, yet he is the worst of counting numbers, everything about numbers. In conclusion, Akrim deals with his logic more while Haidi deals with his memory.

Briefly, the existence of the world between them can be noticed easily. Their different appearance is the first thing you can spot at a glance and their second difference, their personal traits describes how they are really trapped in disparity. In addition, the dissimilarity between the way they learn becomes additional difference completing the former comparisons as well. Blood is always thicker than water, which is the reason why I still love my two brothers though they are not same at all. I convince myself that there must be sweet silver lining beneath their differences since their special characteristics make them more special for me. Furthermore, every person is unique. Though each of them has different worlds and no line linking their worlds, I still completely love them and having such brothers is kind of a pride.

  1. As a teacher, I tell students to learn difficult lessonsby going over them many times. Now, I also suggested to them, these flashcards to try out. Its quite simple to create these flashcards even for a technology newbie like me!
