Doug Barnett English 99 Essay 1 17 May 2014 A Different Look at Graffiti When you hear the word graffiti, the first thing that usually comes to mind is gang affiliation. Even though gangs use graffiti to show power and claim possession, it is also used as a form of expression. In the writings of “Creepin’ While You’re Sleepin” by Stephen Lemons, graffiti comes across as a problematic situation; however that is not his intention. He follows a young girl, Tribe, who believes graffiti is an expressive art form. Even though Tribe is considered a bomber-tagger she shows there is more to spray painted walls than meets-the-eye.
So, I should argue that Jacoby uses too many his own feelings about the dissatisfaction of imprisonment, which makes his claim weak and not credible. For instance, Jacoby states that “the criminal is out of control.” Yes, it might be a strong and persuasive way to get reader’s attention or even agreement, but it is not impersonal, and it is the claim based on his complaint, dissatisfaction and anger. It is inappropriate that reader can only feel his anger and dissatisfaction about the imprisonment. After all, Jacoby thinks “the criminal is out of control” is not a well-known fact. If
Zinsser expresses “fighting clutter is like fighting weeds-the writer is always slightly behind” (140). This statement refers to the repetitive cycle of getting rid of weeds. He uses this metaphor because most people when writing will remove one unnecessary “weed” another pops up in the next sentence. We are always fighting clutter when writing a paper, using the long word that is not any better that the short and draping unnecessary prepositions onto verbs that do not need any help. Zinsser explains
Which he does have a point because rap music does bear the brunt of most criticism in the music industry for all the vulgarity that it has in the lyrics and Eminem is no exception when it comes down to the vulgarity of his music. Although “more people are aware that
However the one clue he did leave which was a leather apron was inadequate in those days due to the lack of technology. In source A it says both crimes were the work of a demented being. This suggests that the Ripper was clearly a inhumane being and the fact that the police did not pick up on this makes my feelings on how the police coped much less. Although there would be no clear sigh of madness surely there is some chance that someone would have picked up on the madness when knocking on peoples doors enquiring. The media may have disrupted police enquires by printing papers that exaggerate the situation and this may have given vital information to the Ripper as he may have read these articles and gained sufficient knowledge to get himself out of near misses i.e.
The Evil of Segregation Art is much more than paint on a canvas. Far too often does the media and society portray art in a set format and manner. From television advertisements to labels on everyday products that we use, art is funneled at us constantly. There is no set meaning and intention for art. A unique quality about art is you get what you want out of it.
The title of the poem establishes the setting and tells us a little bit of what the poem is about. It is strange as there is not “a” or “the” used for the title: “Brooklyn Cop” The title doesn’t single anyone out, suggesting that it is aimed at all cops as “a” or “the” is not used. Brooklyn has a reputation for crimes, poverty and high unemployment and therefore is a bad area and implies that the cop is at risk of being injured. The poet uses word choice for this. “Cop” is slang for policeman, which suggests that he doesn’t follow the rules and also that his vocabulary isn’t of very high standard.
In some ways the police force were not to blame for not capturing Jack the Ripper because of the harsh conditions that they had to work in. A newspaper article describes the streets of Whitechapel as "containing some headquarters of infamy" and "The sights and sounds are an apocalypse of evil" This gives a very negative image of the streets of Whitechapel and leads us to feel sympathetic towards the Police because they had to work in these conditions. The conditions would also affect a policeman's efficiency and make him less alert. The conditions can also explain why Jack could get away so easily. Because the Ripper wore a "dark coat", he may have been able to camouflage into the dark surroundings, described -"The main thoroughfares of Whitechapel are connected by a network of narrow, dark
On the other hand, a fun fact is if I spit on the streets, it is okay. Apparently, that is not considered littering in Boston. It is illegal in some states though, or so I heard. So not everyone is like me, we are all individuals. The person behind me on the streets could have littered and purposely did not use the trashcan.
This is essentially to say that communities that lack in any sense of social cohesion and mutual interest witness a significantly higher risk of criminality. To present their theory, Wilson and Kelling use the example of a building with a broken window that remains unrepaired. This image of disorder then encourages further incivility, telling residents and other passersby that it doesn't matter and that no one cares. This encourages further uncivilized activity which eventually balloons the neighborhood into a slummy crime-filled area of lawlessness. In run down neighborhoods, other examples of social disorder include damaged or boarded up homes and buildings, graffiti and vandalism, loitering or solicitation, and disorderly conduct by people in the area.
