The church service that I attended was a calm and quiet event. The cathedral itself is a large, beautiful building inside and out. The interior of the main worship area has stained glass which allows light to shine in creating a colorful light shadow. There is also a very large chandelier above the preaching area which provides a pleasing look to the important area. The white walls provide a clean and elegant look. The seating was sectioned off so that about 3 adults could sit in one section. I saw that people came with their family, friends, and by their selves. I imagine a young child would get bored easily during the service compared to an adult. People behaved in a respectful manner, talking quietly amongst themselves until the service started. Even kids knew to be quiet and respectful. This has to do with a few reasons, one of them being the environment around them.

           

   The dance concert was a loud and exciting event. Before the show started people gathered together and talked freely and loudly to one another. Once everyone was in their seats, the concert began. The lights turned off signaling the start and everyone was quiet. The building itself was fairly large in size. The room where the concert was performed had no windows, which kept you more focused on what was going on inside. The room was mostly plain which is so you focus on the stage. The rows of seats weren’t sectioned off but they did get shorter as you got closer to the stage which allows you to see the stage from every chair. Almost all ages could enjoy this dance concert. I believe the dancers enjoyed performing it, and the workers seemed to like the partially laid-back environment.

             

  These two events were far different from one another. The dance concert was a fun pastime while the church service was a time for worship. The interiors of these places encouraged different things such as quietly talking with one person or talking with a group of others.
