Graffiti: Tunnel Notes of a New Yorker

I did not really think too much of this article. It never really grabbed my attention, and I thought bits of it were very confusing. I did notice that it was very descriptive and visual throughout the whole paper. He used his real life examples to back up most of his claims. He was also very descriptive with his real life examples. I also liked how he mentioned the positive and negative aspects to graffiti. For the most part he talked about how it only caused rage and anger and disruption; but he did touch on how he sometimes saw the initials inside of a carved heart. This example displays a more positive and loving side of graffiti.

Also towards the end he did mention the HUGE fact about people who are all concerned with graffiti. This fact is that graffiti never killed anyone, and that there are bigger problems in cities then graffiti. I agree completely with this statement. When I look at the bigger picture and all the other problems with cites and urban decay, I really don't give a shit about graffiti and probably never will. I would much rather see someone get angry and go write it on a wall, then get angry and go kill somebody.
