RL interpretation of "da word"

· WHAT ISSUES DO YOU THINK HE RAISES?
· In the reading given of “da word” by Lee A. Tonouchi; I believe the issues that are raised include the perception of art and its many forms that are created today. Ranging from Classical types of art to the more modern forms of urban arts, such as graffiti and how it is expressed.

· WHAT ISSUES DID YOU LIKE OR DISLIKE ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS?
· I enjoyed the issues that were raised as he enters the school the narrarator himself is unsure about his art, but as he is confronted by the administrator of the college, the man expresses to Haiki that he has a wonderful use of color showing that his art, even though not the standard is just as good as the rest of the schools.

· WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE LANGUAGE USED IN THE READING AND WHAT QUESTIONS DOES THIS RAISE FOR YOU?
· I still believe about the language used in the story, whether written in his own language, still should not be written as a standard form of English. As expressive as it may be to the author and select groups of people it still shows a sub standard of the understanding of the English language. But then again it is written by the author and it is his interpretation of the story, as all “works of art” are it is to the artist and his vision that creates his masterpiece.
