destruction
Destruction is like when you have a tower of blocks and you knock it over, making all the blocks fall down and scatter everywhere. The tower was once tall and strong, but now it’s a pile of blocks on the floor. Destruction means something was whole and then it got broken into pieces.
Think of a sandcastle you build at the beach. You spend a lot of time making it look like a castle with towers and walls. But when a big wave comes, it washes the sandcastle away, leaving just flat sand. That’s destruction too, because the sandcastle is no longer there.
Another way to think about destruction is like when you have a drawing on paper and you accidentally spill water on it. The colors get all mixed up and the picture doesn’t look the same anymore. The drawing was changed by the water, and that’s a kind of destruction.
Destruction can happen in many ways, and it often means that something needs to be fixed or built again, just like your block tower or sandcastle.
