Reflection on Da Word- graffiti artist

Before you get going on blogging about technology and its relationship to popular/sub popular culture, I'd like you to briefly reflect on the Da Word graffiti artist by Tonouchi. What isues do you think he raises? What issues did you like or dislike about what he says? What did you think about the language he uses and what questions did this reading raise for you?

Art or vandilism?

He raised a lot of issues one that caught my mind was the way he did not want to go to school and he thought it was a wasted of time. The only person who could really get through to him and tell him to go was his cousin coco. After coco passed away he had no one to look up to. His cousin coco was the person Haki looks up to him they were so close even though coco was older than him. Also the issue in how graffiti is a form of art and does not have to be a crime. When he asked his cousin if he could teach him, his cousin said no you have so much more to live for your gonna change the world for everyone. I do agree with graffiti being a work of art but it can also be vandalism depending on what you’re doing with it. If you’re tagging in a public place without their permission it’s a crime but, you can also put graffiti on paper and shirts like Haki. The language is not the easiest to read but it’s the language you learn when he was younger. Everyone has the own English. With your friends and your close family you use language differently than in school.
