Graffiti Throughout Detroit

Graffiti takes all different forms. It can be about an issue someone is concerned with or about a person they disagree with or even just someone's tag. People like to put their feeling into the things they do but it might not always be the best idea. Sometimes graffiti is inappropriate for everyone to see and it might not be necessary for everyone either.

This picture clearly written "METH" is talking about a drug.
I don't think that it is necessary for someone to write about a drug on a wall of a building. What is the point of that? What good is it doing the community? It isn't doing the community any good, it is just letting people see this and read the word. For people that do not know about drugs, they may become aware of it through this. They could go home and look this up on the internet and gain information that they didn't necessarily need to know.



In this picture, it looks as though this might have once been or could possibly still be a train station or just the tracks for the train. When the train goes by this wall the people aboard see all of this graffiti all over the walls which may turn them off about the area they are entering. They may think that there are people who don't like the neighborhood enough to keep it nice. The trash all over the ground kind of adds to the bad look of the area.

Picture Essay

I recently moved to a new neighborhood. New houses are still being built in our neighborhood all around my house. There are other neighborhoods around me as well that are growing larger. A strip mall is being built close to my house as well. Pretty much, my area is growing and the new additions of buildings are helping with this change. I was thinking that I would use this as my topic for the paper. I thought it would be interesting to take pictures of the construction throughout my neighborhood and possibly other neighborhoods as well. It seems like it would be interesting. I hope it is would be good enough!!

Graffiti

In the article, Graffiti, the author describes a tunnel in which he or she enjoyed running through as a child. This tunnel had all different kinds of graffiti inside it, ranging from so & so loves so & so, to hateful things. Graffiti can be found all over big cities & little cities. Driving through the big cities, graffiti can be found on buildings or in alleys. When driving on the freeway I have often seen graffiti on bridges. Most of this graffiti is about so & so loving each other.

I find graffiti intriguing. It must take a lot of skill to be able to create such original pieces of work. Although graffiti is illegal, I think that the people who have made the art needs to be encouraged to find other ways to display their talent. It may be better for them to have a designated area, such as a building created for inside graffiti, and that way they are not defacing the buildings around the area.

As stated in the article, some people may use graffiti as a way to express how they feel about a subject. There are often pieces of graffiti pointing one someones hatred toward a specific topic, such as Jews in the article. The author of the graffiti wanted to let people know how he or she feels about the topic of Jews.

Yes, graffiti exists, and I don't think that it will ever go away. People use it as a way to express themselves and it may help some people with pain they are suffering from. Detroit has graffiti, as do mostly every big city in the country and possibly the world.

Xochimilco

In writing my final copy of the restaurant review, I feel that I have made some very good progress from the beginning when I started with my rough draft. I like the topic of this paper and it was very exciting to go to the restaurant and "review" it. I had been to Xochimilco about two years ago and it was fun to go back because I knew that it was the restaurant I wanted to write about. It has a good atmosphere and very good food. I will be going back to the restaurant sometime in the future to enjoy the food. I should get back to finishing my paper now. =] !!
