Argumentatvie Paper

For my argumentative paper, i am doing it on the topic of graffiti. As in my photo essay, i am stating my point that graffiti is not a bad thing that it is always thought to be. First it is a very unique art form and this article talk abouts a young graffiti artist who wants to legalize graffiti because it is art to him. Graffiti is an art form for those in rough times also. In the bad parts of the neighborhoods is where graffiti usually shows up. It is because graffiti provides an outlet for feelings that cant normally be expressed. All in all my paper will discuss that graffiti is not bad.

Living Is Just Enough

Graffiti has always been known as a bad thing to society. People say that graffiti defaces property and that it is a horrible thing to do all together. Around every corner in Detroit, there is a new image scrawled on the wall. These images represent people though. Their feelings of hate or joy are expressed through this form of art. To some, this is the only way to express their feelings. While walking through abandoned buildings, there were many different styles and writings of graffiti. Some contained vulgar words or hate, whereas others contained words or images of hope. Although many people believe that graffiti is a bad thing, it is a blessing in disguise. Many images and writings were of hate and anger towards something. Graffiti is a way to vent these feelings. If graffiti was not an option, what would happen?; riots, crime, chaos? Graffiti is a way for people to express their feelings without any harm or distress to anyone. It is an outlet for people where this is the only way.














"Living is just enough"















While walking through an abandoned building,
there were condemned water bills scattered
about the floor. This is the drive behind my
essay. It shows that graffiti is an outlet for
people who are struggling.















This picture seemed very unique to me because
the bomb looks like it blew a hole into the wall.



































































































This picture was taken underneath an overpass.
the entire wall was covered in this brightly colored
graffiti. It made the entire area look bright and
colorful.















"It came to me in a dream...it was there that i found
salvation"















This was an old fire truck in an abandoned building
that I was in.















This was located in under the overpass where
the above image was located.


































This is a picture of some object which appeared
around every corner. This image popped up
on numerous occasions.

photo essay

for my photo esaay, i have two ideas that i want to do it on. First off, i want to take picturtes of buildings in the detroit area and see how the architecture influences the surrounding areas and too see how it helps develop the detroit area. the second one is graffiti. i believe that graffiti is a good thing since it is a form of expression for people who do not have the chance to speak out.i will go around detroit and capture the graffiti to show the expression that people are providing.

graffiti

These are some graffiti images i found on the flickr website. I found that while looking at all of the graffiti images, it shows a distinct form of art. the bright colors and the collaboration of images expresses how people really feel. It colors the dark corners of our town and uplifts the dark areas. People feel that it degrades and demotes our cities and town, yet if you take a hard look at it, you can see the true expression in it.

Comerica topic

Since i am interested in this topic for my future papers, i was lookin online for more sources and articles. I ended up coming upon a story that said that the move Comerica is about to make is a good thing. The article said that we should be happy that they moved just the HQ, not all the brnaches in our state. It surprised me thought that someone would think that a direct decline to our society in our state would be a god thing. I agree with many other articles that I read saying that this is going to be a symptom with big buisnesses in Detoirt. THey see a booming market across the nation and there is no reason why they wouldn't leave. We need direct action now to help get a plan to save and to start building the economy if we want to have a stable economy.

What I MIght Want To Research

Recently, i have taken an interest in the comerica story on the news. I find this interesting since it affects our community so much. I take frequent trips down to Downtown Detroit and i see that it is slowly turning around. I am curious as to what is going to happen to that prgress once comerica leaves the city for good. Also, the story interests me because I am interested as why they are leaving and how they came to the conclusion of going to Dallas. I want to research the story more which will be the drive behind writing my last two papers.
