1. It’s beautiful, it’s physically appealing, as I mentioned before, the abundance of the color green calms the eyes, which helps me concentrate and rest after a class because I might have a lot of readings, a lot of PowerPoints where I have to pay attention and read and overall, it’s calming and appealing.

Thus, he feels like he’s in not in a garden at all but he is in a city because it lacks plants and trees. In relation to this, Matthew thinks that the building surrounding the garden makes the space of it small, so this explains how it lacks on being a garden. However, Samantha sees the garden as beautiful and serene. It is as well relaxing given the fact that it is surrounded with buildings.
