Murals in Derry

Hi guys,

today we finished the lesson about the murals in Derry. Here is the lesson you wrote in your copybooks:

Murals in Derry

   The document is a report about Derry, a city at the border with Northern Ireland and Eire.

   In Derry, a civil war happened. Policemen and soldiers killed a lot of civilians. 14 people died on « Bloody Sunday ».

   To remember this war, people painted monochrome paintings. In Derry, on the façades of many houses, there are murals which represent the violence of the war. They are stark and bleak.

   The dove mural is a symbol for peace.  The colours symbolize the war of the past, the red of the blood and the peace of the future.
