Exploration two from Desiree Dulay

Hi, I'm Desiree and I like to spend time with my friends and family. I work at Skyzone and I'll be working at Dick's Sporting Goods soon. I went to Olentangy high school in Lewis Center, Ohio, and I like to watch football and basketball. I also enjoy playing basketball and traveling. My favorite show to watch is Friends and the Office. One of my favorite places to travel is Las Vegas and Los Angeles. I like the atmosphere in Las Vegas, and I like the mountains, valleys, and beautiful beaches of Los Angeles.

A theme or idea that stood out to me in the first chapter was how reading and writing can have an effect on our lives. The first section talked about how reading and writing change in different social contexts. For example, we may have a different  perception about graffiti  in different areas. Some may think that it is bad not only because it is illegal, but because graffiti is usually associated with crime and gangs. However some may say that graffiti helps them remember a loved one who has died.
