what is not there: My Final Project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">As
I am written this paper, I think about the wise words of James Corner. Corner
writes in the first couple sentences of his essay: “Mapping is a fantastic
cultural project, creating, and building the world as much as measuring and
describing it. Long appreciated with the planning and design of cities,
landscapes and buildings, mapping is particularly instrumental in the construing
and construction of lived space.” Since my created embodied spaces don’t have
an actual space on a traditional map, I decided to map what is not there; what
is missing; what is essential. With the help of two different, but relevant
landmarks in the United States, I embodied my spatial spaces and experienced
what others would experience in the practiced spaces. One of the landmarks is
right here in Brooklyn, NYC, The Brooklyn Bridge; the other in Colorado, the
Grand Canyon Skywalk. My final project is based on the verb “to gather”, the
spaces become the noun gathering, and the verb reflects to numerous activities
performed in space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">A
lot of activities are to be performed in the overall space. People can walk with
their families, listen to music, seat and have lunch in the second space.
Overall the site and the building are public. Public but private at the same
time… When one walks the scared slabs in New York City, you often find yourself
in your own place. You feel lonely when hundreds of others are walking the
street as you. With that in mind, I
wanted my space to be sanctuaries, spaces you practice and embody. I wanted
people to feel important, the world belongs to them by creating a space where
the connections between humans were turned off to emphasize the connection
between man and nature. Most of us have
lost that connection, we forget about our environment, the community we live
in. We forget about the mapping process, we simply trace. We put things in
their designated spaces so we don’t have to look for it. We simply overlook our
actions and its impacts on other generations. Many architects use the word interaction in their
concept for their design. I personally think it’s an excellent idea to try to reconnect
man, but they are going about this the wrong way. Before a man and another man
can interact, the men need to interact with nature first. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Re-visiting the process I had gone through to create my
spaces, the first thing I did was create a ground plane. I had the freedom to create
my own ground plane, we all did. I could have been simple meaning flat or
slanted. It all depended on what concept I was going to go with and honestly, timing.
Stuck between two choices, I went back to my roots. I was born in the United
States and raised in Haiti. I have learned a lot there, I’ve acknowledged: jazz,
drums, mountains, and water were a part of your daily life. “Why not included my roots?” I said, excitedly. I wanted my project to be different, to have
something no one had. My ground plane involves my lofted model from a previous
assignment. The lofted model is embedded into the rock which is a cliff. The
lofted model is also penetrating the water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">My
first architectural piece, my secondary space was created by meeting together every
paper model at the corners or ends. At the end, it created a “Y” structure. In
Rhino, I floated the structure without even remembering the consequences. In
Rhino, there’s no gravity. Any object can float, it is very easy to move something
upwards and forget about its weight. When I assembled the model outside of
rhino but in the physical world, it was very hard to float the space. It’s was
too heavy even though it was constructed out foam, balsa (some type of wood), basswood
sticks and plexiglass. It was a place
where people can walk on the skywalk look at the beautiful view, and hopefully
they would take something out of the experience. This is where; my landmark,
Grand Canyon </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">Sky-walk</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> helped me again. People visit and travel to Arizona to

know what it feels like, I’ve read people’s opinions about their experiences
and the structure itself. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

second structure architectural structure, the hybrid space is in an area where
you could seat, eat, or relax. There are added steps so people can sit. The hybrid
space is just a scaled version of my partner’s paper model. We had to take one
of ours and one of theirs to create space that people could embody. Just like
the last one, this space was created physically with the same material as the
last one. The hybrid is the biggest space in my model, a good number of people
could be up there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

third structure, my tertiary space is the entrance of the site. It is where you
enter or exit by boat. Although my other spaces were floated about ground, it
was floated on sea water. As you enter, you see musicians playing as a sign of
welcome. It is also made out of foam, balsa, plexiglass and basswood sticks. It
was created by attaching two of my own paper models in Rhino.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

three spaces were very different from each other; they served their own purpose
which is why I created different skins for the three. The skin of the space is
determined by the number of triangles and the length of the base of the
triangles. Ex: If the base of a larger triangle equals six. Six is divided by
three, the number of sides, equaling to two. Conclusion: two triangles now sit
within the bigger triangle.</span><span style="font-family: "DokChampa","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The skin relates back
to one of my original hand-draw point drawings. The triangles were drawn by
joining the 3rd trial of pencil drops together on an 18 by 18 grid. I
translated the drawing by creating a gridded frame, inserting triangles at the
intersections, and trimming down parts of the triangle.</span> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
stripped horizontal skin allows light to penetrate through, opening the small qualitative
space even more. The overall skin will produce incredible shadows at night. The
plexiglass are one inch tall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

most essential auditory experience created by architecture is tranquility. Architecture presents the drama of construction
silenced into matter, space and light.
Ultimately architecture is the art of petrified silence writes Pallasma

much better for this, but design and technics was put in front of it. More time
to read and comprehend the texts more would have improved my understanding of
the course and Design. I’ve learned so much from this class. Thank You Prof.

Park, Clayson Playground, and Lafayette Gardens Playground are all parks
located in and around Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Without their locations on a NYC
map, the parks are not very similar in terms of the people who visit the park daily.
The racial battle and division going on in and around the parks in Clinton Hill
altered them into Christmas presents left to be unwrapped. The Parks are not
just a dot, a tree or the symbolic green color on a map; they are inhabited by
people, people of different races. They embody the people who live or lived nearby.
They voice the stories of the people who visit them. A sense of community, the
faces of the people who live in pass by Clinton Hill were missing from the maps
found on Google. Information was lost in the bigger plan, the bigger area, and
the division of Brooklyn. The loss in the translation arrived with a bigger
problem, confusion. A present racial battle left a freshman college student
curious and confused about the things that are happening in 11205.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hill like every other neighborhood as boundaries, but do those boundaries
define the people who visit its parks? Its boundaries form trapezoid shape
along the streets of Atlantic, Flushing, Vanderbilt, and Classon Ave. It is relatively
a historic district founded by a Dutch family. It was first developed to be a suburban
community for middle-class, but it went on to be the neighborhood where the rich
settled. Clinton Hill became the site where mansions were built. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With new mansions and new townhouses Clinton
Hill became and still is a beautiful flourishing neighborhood. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Until the 1920s, Clinton Hill was populated
with people of great wealth, but soon after the recession, after WW1, Middle
class made its way back to the community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Most of the people with the high status and great wealth left the area
to Manhattan. Mansions were no longer built and they decided to destroy some to
accommodate the new habitants. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Underwood
Park opened a can of warms; it wasn't the cold weather that day or the noisy
cars that were speeding on Lafayette but the color of one’s skin. The people
who were at the park that evening divided themselves into three different race and
ethnicity, however one category was missing. Without even knowing what information
would be found or would have to be written about, a cold bench was suddenly occupied.
What was noticed was fascinating. For the amount of kids seen, one race was
missing. Kids of color were nonexistent along the perimeter and area of the
closed gated park. The babies playing in the cold weather where either black with
kinky curls (meaning bi-racial) or Caucasian with little blonde curls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">That
may not be surprising or fascinating to most, but, when you live in almost the
center of a state that is known to be a “melting pot”. You began to wonder why
it is the way it is. Even though bi-racial kids were playing in the park, no moms
or dads of color were spotted per say. The</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">black woman was taking
care of little blonde kids. It was pretty apparent that she was their nanny by
the way she was talked to the kids and cared for those kids, a boy and a girl. The
boy was running away from her, he almost reached the street, when his sister
joined him. She called them a couple times but she’s wasn’t firm enough. A
mother would have been firmed, it’s almost like she did not want to upset them.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Straight
down Lafayette, two blocks away from Higgins Hall, there was another park. Along
my stroll, the scenery changed there were more graffiti on the walls, but the
area was still very nice. One more block, and it was in a different world. Suddenly,
the quiet of the neighborhood had been in was overpowered by reggae music, a group
of teenagers where playing. The traffic, the sudden yells here and there, all
changed the vibe of the neighborhood. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">At
the corner, where the music was playing there was a park, Clayson Playground,
not a lot of people were there, only three to be exact, a boy eating hot chicken
wings sitting on a bench, his brother shooting hoops next to him, and a women
eating chips at the right of the opened gate when I walked in. No kids on the
swings, No biracial kids, No blonde babies, and the people who were there we’re
all black. I looked at the navigation on my phone, as I typed in the word park,
and there was one two blocks away from Clayson.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">When
I got to Lafayette Gardens Playground not much was different from the previous
park, but this time older kids were playing together, they were probably around
the ages of eight to eleven, I don’t know they didn't look that old and I
didn't look to young either. So, I’m guessing around there since I didn't ask,
all I asked them was to get their permission to film them riding a
battery-powered small toy car down the swing set. It looked cool but they could
have hurt themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As
soon as I turned my back, I heard a little boy: “Who is she, she sound mad
white”. This is not the first time someone has said that about my voice. It doesn’t
happen too often but it happened before. Coming from Haiti, learning English through
television and friends, you began to sound a way black people would describe as
white or stuck-up. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I suppose when
you talk properly like a normal person should and you do not shorten your
words, you sound “mad” white. I don’t know what it means, my friend once tried
to explain it to me ,but all I got from the conversation<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was him saying Haitian are not exactly black,
they’re fake blacks. This at the end might be true. I was raised in a traveling
family were it wasn’t a whole until Christmas or Summer Vacations. My father
and brother lived in New York, while my mother, sister and I lived in Haiti; where
we learned to put education, respect, and authority above all things. I thought
him saying I was mad white funny though, but the others went on to say: “who
are you, bitch?” and that was inappropriate, they were kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I walked out of the gate, they kept cursing
still, but I realized that there was no sign on the gate reminding people to
close the gate because of children just like there was in first park I went to.
That added more pieces to the puzzle, suddenly; the puzzle was too crazy to
finish in time and properly. What puzzle you may ask? Well, the one where I
figured out why small children and babies have their own little park, why the
black boys were cursing at the park, why they are so many bi-racial and blonde
babies in one neighborhood, and why the places are significantly different when
they are in the same area and have the same zip code?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>With research come up with a reason, it maybe the blacks
that moved in after the1920s are now leaving the new real estate hotspot. A one
bedroom apartment in Clinton Hill is now on average 3,300.00$ a month. “At this
point, the majority of the population is upper-middle-class,” said a woman
interviewed on the street by New York Times. “Many of the residents who have
lived in the neighborhood are moving out, as the rents are crazy.”</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">A
man was also interviewed and he had a similar answer: “I think, well, blacks
are declining, but whether a specific neighborhood declines or increases has a
lot of other things going on,” said Mr. Beveridge. Though he said he does not
know the specifics of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill’s demographic shifts, he
said, “It could be that the yuppies are moving in, you know, poor people are
moving out.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The
black population in the 18 census tracts that make up the geographic boundaries
of those neighborhoods dropped by 31.4 percent. Census tract 185.01 had the
biggest increase in Asians, 1,150 percent. This is the area that includes
Whitman Houses. Census tract 33 had the biggest decrease in blacks, 50 percent.
This is the area between DeKalb and Lafayette Avenues, east of Flatbush Avenue.
Census tract 227 had one of the biggest increases in whites, 480 percent or
almost 600 people. This area straddles Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy, north of
Atlantic Avenue between Grand and Bedford Avenues. The 2010 census count shows
that Fort Greene and Clinton Hill’s black population has declined by a third
since 2000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Stressful? I don't lnow, I am expecting everything to go wrong, no sleep, and less time to eat. Right now, I am in the process of finializing my drwings. I'm hoping I could finish Tomorrow night that way I could print them out the next day wich is a thursday. I'm not sure if I'll accomplish that goal. I hope I will, but with so many obstacles it seems impossible to be honest. For example, this week we have to attend other class and do our homework as well. It's crazy!!!. I've been difigurized, I don't look the same, somehow I look older(this is not a joke). Also, my maturity level has reached the you need to party. I haven't been to one party since I've been in Higgins. Stessful Place!!! Back to work now. <br />
<br />
THIS IS WHAT I'M WORKING ON!!!<br />

project should be: Never Ends Project. Without ever knowing it started on Nov
27<sup>th</sup> 2012 and will never end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It started the first day of school, when our Professor, Brackett handed
my studio-mates and I a rubric. In the rubric there was a due date. Little did
I know that is was just a trick, some sort of a hook. The date marked was an
illusion, it kept me from looking at how much rope I had been given to hang myself.
“When will did project end?” became a dull question. My final project literally
began the first day of class. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">The
site analyses that I completed at the Underwood Park, Clayson Playground, and Lafayette
Gardens Playground are very different from their locations on a map. The Parks
are not just a dot, a tree or the symbolic green color on a map. They’re much
more than that, they represent something to someone who lives or lived nearby.
They voice the stories of the people who live around it. My site analyses present themselves with more
information. Information, I </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">couldn't</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> have known had I not visited those parks
at that specific time in the day. Facts and a sense of community were missing
from the map I looked on Google. I supposed they were lost in the bigger plan,
the bigger area. With that loss of translation came a bigger problem, confusion.
A present racial battle left a freshman college student curious and confused
about the things that are happening in 11205.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">In
my site analysis at Underwood Park I observed a lot of things, but one thing stuck,
it resurfaced over and over again. It </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">wasn't</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> the cold weather that day or the
noisy cars that were speeding on Lafayette but the color of one’s skin. I kept
coming back to the people who were there, what racial category would they be
put in. Without even knowing what I
going to find or have to write about, what I noticed was fascinating in a sense.
The babies who were playing in the cold weather where either black (meaning bi-racial)
and Caucasian with little blonde curls. That may not be surprising or
fascinating to most, but, when you live in almost the center of a state that is
known to be a melting pot. You began to wonder why it is the way it is. Where are
the Asians, the Blacks (the ones that are not mixed), the Spanish, where were
they? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">Race
was a big thing at the park, and even though bi-racial kids were playing in the
park, I </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">didn't</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> really notice any moms or dads that were black per say. The black
woman I noticed where all “taking care” of </span><span style="line-height: 32px;">little</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> blonde kids. An Asian boy
and his father were there but they were the only Asians. I </span><span style="line-height: 32px;">didn't</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> really know
what that meant so I decided to walk straight down Lafayette because I noticed
a park a couple blocks from Higgins once; I haven’t been in the neighborhood for
too long.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Along
my stroll, the scenery changed a little I noticed more graffiti on the walls,
but the area was still very nice. One more block, and I was in a different world.
Suddenly, the quiet of the neighborhood I had been in was overpowered by the
reggae music of a group of teenagers where playing, the traffic, the sudden
yells here and there. To be honest, I preferred that environment better. It reminded
me of back home, coming from Haiti your soul inhabits drums, loud music,
community, and the fact that sense life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">At
the corner, where the music was playing there was a park, Clayson Playground,
not a lot of people were there, only three to be exact, a boy eating hot chicken
wings sitting on a bench, I assumed his brother shooting hoops next to him, and
a women eating chips at my right when I walked in. No kids on the swings, No biracial
kids, No blonde babies, and the people who were present we’re all black. I
thought to myself as I walked out: “Wow, no one’s here!!! How confusing can
this get?” So I looked at the navigation on my phone, and I typed in the park,
and one two blocks away showed up. I decided to go hoping maybe I could find an
answer that could justify for the so-called race wars in my head. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">When
I got to Lafayette Gardens Playground not much was different from the previous
park, but this time older kids were playing together, they were probably around
the ages of eight to eleven, I don’t know they </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">didn't</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> look that old and I </span><span style="line-height: 32px;">didn't</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> look to young either. So, I’m guessing around there since I </span><span style="line-height: 32px;">didn't</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> ask, all I
asked them was to get their permission to film them riding a battery-powered
small toy car down the swing set. It looked cool but they could have hurt themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> As soon as I turned my back, I heard a little
boy: “Who is she, she sound mad white” I thought it was funny, but the others
went on to say: “who are you, bitch?” and that was inappropriate, they were kids. As I walked out of the gate, they kept
cursing still, but I realized that there was no sign on the gate reminding
people to close the gate because of children just like there was in first park
I went to. That added more pieces to the puzzle, suddenly; the puzzle was too
crazy to finish in time and properly. What puzzle you may ask? Well, the one where
I figured out why small children and babies have their own little park, why the
black boys were cursing at the park, why they are so many bi-racial and blonde
babies in one neighborhood, and why the places are significantly different when
they are in the same area and have the same zip codes? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">My
site analysis is more of a community map, it presents relationships and
character. It introduces the economical and racial factors. I may have the
answers to some of my questions already but I don’t know if they are facts, so,
I am not going to share them. I don’t
know, maybe the world is changing. Maybe,
the original black male in 11205 married and had children with white female and
they just moved to a specific segregated community, which would explain the age
gap between the children at the parks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I’m
not sure. 11205. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

hidden from people, lost in the bigger plan, the bigger area, they </span><span style="line-height: 32px;">didn't</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> show

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In
mu site analysis I observed a lot of things, but one thing stuck. It’s not about the park or the weather when I
was there. It’s about the people who were occupying the park at that specific
time. Race was a big thing when I was in the park. They were a lot of biracial
kids in the park. It was either that or a black nanny with blonde headed kids.
An Asian boy and his father were there but they were the only Asians. I don’t really
know what it means; I haven’t been in the neighborhood for too long. 11205 is a
big community, just like anywhere in the city it is full of townhouses, but
somehow these townhouses are very different for the others. The appeal is nicer.
If I had to guess, I would say that the townhouses are habited by rich blonde
people who can afford a nanny to watch their kids; and the biracial kids? I don‘t
know, maybe the world is changing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

they know the type of people who frequent it every day, and with that they
should what type of neighborhood this is. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

As we all know the emphasis of titles, allow us to have boundaries, to picture something without reading or seeing it. Thinking about a title can sometimes be a difficult thing, we think about it because we know somehow it is going to affect the piece and the meaning it has. The title given to a piece affects the viewer's life. If you title a piece of artwork: "Stop and Look." Chances are, during the viewer's day, he or she might remember the string of words that reminder him or her to look. I thought about so many different titles: Systematical Walk, Daily Walk, Brooklyn Street, Frightening Street, but none expressed, in debt, what I felt when I walked that street every night. So here it is, my title for my map: A System of Walking: Safety in the Streets of 112-5. 112-5? Area Code in Brooklyn--(I erased a number because you never know who might see this and began to begin to stalk me around.) The streets in Brooklyn are scary enough... Why that title? Between Higgins Hall and Cannouneer Court, there is a 10 minutes walk you have to walk to get to your destination. Often, it is very late when I have to walk home and the walk home is very long and scary to me. There are no sign of danger but the stories that have been told scare you away.Bayyinah :phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11052012294200539631noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226838830939521833.post-56490414588645903062012-10-23T15:34:00.001-07:002012-10-23T15:34:33.791-07:00Studio Experience01<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A lot has been going on lately. The absence of my family's presence constantly conflicts with my ability to stay concentrated. This month is a crucial month, if you ask me, I would like for it to end in a blink of an eye. I'm tired, tired of being stressed; tired of calling my family to complain. We can talk about bigger and better things. I need a break. Break from studio, from what is coming next week, and from architecture. I need to spend time with my family. There are the reason I am here at Pratt. Because I've been sitting in my studio chair so much, I need to be reminded my reasoning. Hour by hour, I'm losing sight of my goal...Bayyinah :phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11052012294200539631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226838830939521833.post-9447216930496364822012-10-23T15:16:00.001-07:002012-10-23T15:16:01.455-07:00<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Monday, October 22<sup>nd</sup> 2012. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Daily Walk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My daily walk
starts from Higgins Hall to Cannouneer Cout, one of the freshman dorms. Why not
have the previous sentence structured the other way around? Quite frankly, this
way makes more sense because it usually very early in the morning or very late
at night when I have to go to sleep at Cannouneer. Us, architecture students
prefer to say very late at night. I believe we say it to keep our mind on
track; to ignore the circumstances we have to put ourselves into or to persuade
ourselves it is acceptable to sleep at that time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The walk from
Higgins to “Can”-we call Cannouneer “the Can.” It’s easier to pronounce and
visitor don’t have to repeat themselves so many times to a security guard when
they need directions. It’s a scary stroll! Most of the time to my dorm alone,
with no one to protect me or share the derive experience with. The race starts
and ends at a traffic light…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The walk begins
with the words: “See you guys in a couple hours.” Those words define the possibility of
reaching a goal you’ve set at the beginning of your day, your sleep time.
Whether it’s an hour or a couples hours, I always look forward to the time I
lay my head on my soft Ralph Lauren pillow. But, in the back of my head, I know
that this isn’t it, I’ll be back in couple hours or one; I have to. I’m
addicted to the idea of being an architect. It is a fascinating career. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I choose to
represent the location of my studio in red to represent to blood that comes out
of our fingers when we cut ourselves with the X-acto knife which happens often
to the point we don’t even use a Band-Aid, we use tape or zap-a- gap-a toxic
glue that dries really fast forcing us work faster. The black and white paper
was used to attach melancholy to my map. You’ll never see a person with
colorful attire at a funeral. I represented my emotions on daily walk with tags
next to the location I fell them when I walk.
I cut out of chip board the buildings I go through and places them on
the black background. Last but not least I decide to show the location of my
room with the colors dominating it. My room palette is pink, green, and white.
It is very colorful and bright. Having heard stories upper classman told me during
the summer, how my daily life would be, I decided to get a comforter that was
both comfortable and joyful. I wanted a comforter that I would want to cry in;
a comforter that made me smile when I came home at unpredictable hours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Why did pick
this walk, those locations, and those buildings? Why not, Higgins Hall and Cannouneer
Court are my residences. There are big parts of my life. Without them, my life
would have no meaning, no interest. Actually, my life has meaning without; the
meaning of my life depends greatly on the foundations I have set for it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Wars</i> by Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant illuminates the impact of writing on
trains on youth in the 1970’s. Back then, Graffiti was a never ending play. It
was the symbol of possession, recognition, and ultimately, youth. It all
started with the name “Taki,” Taki started writing his name on walls in around
public transportations in all 5 boroughs in the 1970’s. His name was everywhere,
and once people realized it was a boy’s name; wherever they would go, they
would write their name. They wrote everywhere there was space on a surface, on
windows, seats, walls, trains, anywhere... It eventually took a deeper meaning.
It was no longer about identities, but personal style. Taki started a movement
without even knowing that people who signed their names just like him would
later be called writers. The trains transport writers’ names from one city to
the next. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> “It’s a matter of bombing, knowing
that I could do it. Every time I get in a train, I see my name, I say, yeah…
you know, I was there, I bomb it.” says one of the writers to his mom. I was
there, seems to be a common phrase in the film. Human beings have an immense
desire to be famous, to be recognized for something. In a sense, “bombing”,
beating the system, is the writer’ way of saying: “I’ve done something, </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">I've</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> been somewhere.” Putting their names on the train cars make the cities the cars
travel in, theirs. The space has transformed itself into a place, and is no
longer strange. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Most
of the writers in the film lived in projects, not much belongs to them. Little
to none of the writers has established something for themselves other than graffiti.
Without it they would not have a name attached to their cities, they would be
ordinary which they fear. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">In
the projects, everything looks the same. The brick style architecture with
barbed wires and fences hasn’t changed. The stories portrayed behind the walls
are identical, a single mother raising her kids with insufficient funds. With
the pressure of everyday life, writers look for attention elsewhere. Writing on
the trains changes their daily life, their statistics, it argues with the image
people have set for them, the image that they are not going to achieve
something in their life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
satisfaction of knowing you have accomplished something so controversial is the
drive that handed down graffiti from generation to generation. The determination
to accomplish something underground, a frightful place, quickly enough that you
do not get caught kept the movement from dying. Also, writers know tomorrow
morning, someone is going to see it. For the next few weeks, their traveling art
is going to be seen in all the five boroughs. To be seen is the intent. “Yeah I vandalism alright, but still in
general I know what I'm doin'. I did somethin' to make yo eyes open up. Right?
So why is you talking ‘bout it for?” says another writer from the film. I did
something to make your eyes open up is ultimately them saying I did something
that you cannot; I made you see something that you couldn’t see. Writers are
making people in the projects realize that they are something. They can do anything
even if their daily life does not allow it, even if it means to put your
freedom on the line. They can create art even if the boundaries of their
pockets do not allow them to go to art school. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;">“Bombing,”
the act of carrying your name from one city to another is embedded into youth’s
DNA. Writers are rocking the cities with their given name and personal style.
The name is given for recognition, wherever you’re asked what your name is,
people instantly recognize it, </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">they've</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> seen it somewhere, and it’s familiar.</span></span><span style="line-height: 200%;">
“</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The
arrow... everybody's got their own arrow, I like that though. Various arrows,
some guys had add on letter arrow that was like connection. Some people had
different arrows just going right through their pieces.” Writers go to the extreme to grab attention,
to be remembered by someone with their pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> Everyone tries to be different, and even
though two arrows might look similar, they </span><span style="line-height: 32px;">aren't</span><span style="line-height: 200%;"> they’re completely different
because it </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">wasn't</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> done by the same writer. The writer’s name comes from personal style
and character. When the name is given, it is the writer’s responsibility to
make it into something, to do something with it. “Hey, how big can you get this
name up? How high?” explains a writer to a woman who wants to understand the
birth place of the written names.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Graffiti creates an alternative map
of the city, it allows you to recognize a place, to situate yourself, or give
directions. It permits the writers to recognize the city they live in, they can
call it theirs. The alternative map erases the old one, the one that comes with
the image people have set for them, that map that indicates that in the future
they will be in prison for drugs. The alternative map beats the system; it
steps away from the homogeneous gridded environment. The writers want all
boroughs to become their place. “A place is thus an instantaneous configuration
of positions. It implies an indication of stability” writes de Certeaux in his
essay, “Spatial Stories”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> The death of Graffiti on train cars
came along with the inability of youth to gather underground and share their
passion. The disappearance of graffiti on trains embodies the disappearance of
the alternative map. Without the alternative map, youth has no future. We, as people, no longer set foundations, we
are no longer unified, we no longer gather. We don’t see the world around us;
we only see the one in front of us, ours.
The new versus the old is incomparable. Nowadays, graffiti has become a
mode of destruction, what it was said to be before. It is no longer art. The
movement ended when writers decided to make money off of their pieces and stopped
or stopped trying to beat the system. They
gave up on bombing, they gave up on themselves. The gap between the old and the
new has set us back in so many ways, I would have loved to ride a colorful
train, but I </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 32px;">wasn't</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 200%;"> given the chance. I would love to seen a blank silver train
transformed into something meaningful. “That's some never forgive action!” says
a writer. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on My First Review.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Quite
frankly, at the beginning of this assignment I was not certain of the verbs I
wanted to pick out of the list and how I should interpret my verbs correctly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">My
first model reached its height with my interpretation of the verb to gather. To
gather how, was an important question. I thought about the actual meaning of
the verb and tried to attach an image to it in my head. People today do not, in
a sense, gather. The meaning of the verb has lost some value over the years. So
I then thought about ancient civilizations. I was inspired by their desire to
reach their Gods by elevating their structures to an unimaginable height for
their time period. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
deformed paper took a different meaning, becoming “to gather by lifting.” The
construction of my first model started with a set of ordinations A, B, and C. A
being a point on the edge of the paper; B being one of the original points; and
C the central, the gathering point. The distance between A and B determined the
height of the triangle, and the distance between B and C determined the base of
a triangle. At the end, I had multiple triangles that had to meet at a single
point or area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">For
my second model “To Join by Pairing,” I paired the different trials together,
and connected them with lines. I didn't have a concise system per say as the
first one. I constructed a very literal version of my drawing. I experimented
with the different “line-weights” by relating them to the distance between the
viewer’s eyes and the model. The different thicknesses translated into the
distance between the lines and the dimensions of the triangles. The darker
lines are closer to the eye and the lightest on ground level. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Robert Smithson;
A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“But the suburbs
exist without a rational past and without the “big events” of history. … but no
past-just what passes for a future.” writes Robert Smithson. In his essay, A
tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey, Smithson devalues the modernization
of the suburb of Passaic. In saying this, he emphasizes the value of the past
by relating a bridge, pipes, a fountain, a sand box, and a map to monuments. What
are monuments? Events, structures, statues
of political figures, notable examples. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Why are “dumps”
so important to Robert Smithson? Most of his artworks are related to entropy,
meaning change, how time and humans affect earth. Smithson is not interested in
the beauty of nature but the “ruins” built around and in it. In A Tour of the Monument
of New Jersey, he discusses how the structures and materials used today are affecting
our future, in fact, he continues his discussion by saying: “Passaic seems full
of holes compared to New York City,… and those holes in a sense are monumental
vacancies that define, without trying, the memory traces of an abandoned set of
future.” By building more structures that does not resemble the ones built in
the past, we are without a doubt erasing a future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In his essay,
Smithson mentions a lot of monuments that he stepped upon while “traveling” the
Passaic. The monuments have many things in common, like the fact that are all
situated in the Passaic, but one similarity steps out form the others, a time
frame. Time in a sense is represented in some way in all of the mentioned monuments.
He talks about eternity and its irreversibility by using a jejeune experiment
for proving entropy. “We take a child and have him run hundreds of time clockwise
in the box (sand box full of separated black and white sand) until the sand gets
mixed and begins to turn grey; after that we have him running anti-clockwise but
the result will not be a restoration of the original division but a greater
degree of greyness and an increase in entropy.” We, human beings cannot replace
the past; we cannot erase what we have already done. None of us has invented a
time machine yet or at least made it public to the world. He convinced the
future is lost somewhere in the non-historical places, like the Passaic. The small
areas, reminding him of the past are monuments to him, they’re monumental, and they’re
in a sense Rome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In some areas, I
agree with Smithson’s arguments, day by day, we devalue valuable ground set
rules our ancestors set for us. Day by bay we step further away from ourselves and
neighbors by only caring about ourselves. We’re stepping further away from the
society that got us here. We’re stepping further away from our future. This
might be it; we may no longer see a tomorrow. We are in trouble!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">He mixes time and ideas together. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">He's big on the use of long lasting materials, materials that were used in the past.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Some artists see an infinite number of movies. Why? Time is compressed or stopped inside the movie size? Maybe, it is because movies are not real, Never really happens in real life unless it is a documentary. And, this is a facet, artists partially like the real world. Their creativity allows them to see the real world. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Movies are entropic? With time, a movie's style and quality image improves. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The contamination is overly used.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Smithson is not really interested in the beauty of earth, more so, he's interested in the change it has gone through. For example, fertile land becoming a desert. </span></span></li>

<br />
Sorry for not posting a single word about my architecture life in the past few days. It's hectic, sad, full of disappointments,and breakdowns on top my school's roof or the second floor's bathroom. Let's just put it this way, last night I only slept for 2 hours, and that's a lot. Some of my classmates didn't sleep at all until our English class this morning. I have to end this short response to why I haven't posted in a while. I have work to do; probably won't sleep tonight!!! So, Take care!!!<br />

of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem

my interpretation of his essay, time comes with change, values are no longer
applicable, and solidity determines age. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

using today were against the ages. In other words, we are destroying the environment.
Technology and greed has not allowed us to be “sub-monumental.” None of us would prefer to turn gold into
cement, we would have liked the opposite which aligns with one of Smithson’s
concept, and we can’t really see the future we are stuck in the present and
past. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> “If I define and sum it up within the boundary of a
definition, given my intentions, that seems to be a limitation on me and an
imposition on other people of how to think of the work.” said Richard Serra in his
interview with Liza Bear in the 70’s. The concept of artists noting their
intentions about their work has always been contrary. Should a piece of art be
more abstract or straight forward? As a visual human being and artist, I agree
with Richard Serra, the slot should be left blank even though the work you
produced had a lot of intentions behind it. Why? When you tell someone your
intentions, you automatically set limitations, boundaries that encloses into a
box. You can’t think outside of it. Frank Ghery, for example, had no intentions
behind his standing accessible sculptures. He just doodled, and produced outstanding
architecture. And to relate this text
with the previous one, to relate Acker’s notion of the body to Serra’s on
perceptual and experiential aspects subject to chance and choice. Acker picked
his location and Serra picked how many reps she wanted to do for her workouts. Both
emphasized the journey there, either to a foreign land, the gym or walking
through a sculpture. Why do people set deadlines, limitations, expectations,
and stereotypes? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Me? I'm okay for now, tired, frustrated, and worried. I miss my high school days, when I could watch tv all day on Saturdays. I miss it a lot. College life is no easy, I'm constantly stressed and I haven't had any time for myself, not even to paint my nails. It's hard to believe I officially became an architecture student two weeks again, and I sleep really in the morning or late at night, whichever you want to call, I haven't pulled an all-nighter yet, meaning I sleep at least an hour before going to class. Insane right? To be frank, it's a Saturday Afternoon and I don't even have time to go shopping for clothes to wear on Monday, hey, I love to shop, who doesn't? Anyways I was supposed to wake up at 6 a.m. this morning to start doing work but it was raining so I decide to sleep in and I woke up at 11a.m. so now I'm five hours behind my schedule and huh? I don't know what's going to happen? So, take care!!!</i><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Spoken Language in My Studio Space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">What
is my bodily experience in studio? To be honest, studio becomes my second world.
It separates itself from the real world. It is the foreign land I visit when I
need to get my work done, the territory I realize I want to become something.
It is a place where I ask myself a lot of questions, mainly when my brain needs
a rest from the word accuracy. It is the
domicile I occupy when I am not in my small room on campus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
ten minute walk to Higgins has long been my planner, the walk I remind myself what
I need to do for the day. I have without a doubt walked that walk so many
times. Approximately thirty times, but I have never added up the number of times
I strolled through Dekalb to Lafayette. I would be interesting the take note of
it, I going to try to do it every day. But I’ll forget, just like Acker forgets
to write about her experiences in the gym, I will probably forget to mark down
every single walk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">How
amazing would it be to find out I walked from my dormitory to Higgins Hall a thousand
times, at the end of my freshman year? That really awesome and cool to me,
however I don’t want to have to set myself out for failure, just like Acker failed
to write her experiences, hmm?, just like I failed to learn how to whistle this
summer. I still can’t make a sound when
I blow air out of my mouth, quite tragic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Acker,
in her writing, talks about her commencing to learn about a new language, just
before understanding, you begin to forget your own. She talks about the gym
becoming a foreign country to her, but a foreign country I which she has to
learn the language to familiarize herself more. I admire the way Acker described the gym has a
foreign country, in this past couple of weeks studio has become more or less a
foreign soil. How? In a sense, my journey to get to the studio tricks into thinking
it is actually further away than what it really is. Another reason might lie in
the fact that people know where to find me if I am not in my dorm-if I’m not in
Paris, I’m in Spain! You travel to an unknown land to explore, to learn or maybe,
to remember why you call your home, home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Repetitiveness,
ah, the word receptiveness, Acker mentions repeating the same controlled gestures
with the same weights, the same reps, and the same breath pattern, but one day
something happened she couldn’t manage the last rep of her normal warm-up which
she had been doing for a while now. She hadn’t changed anything about her daily
routine but the weather did and her unexpected failure at the sixth rep was
allowing to see inside her body to its workings. In my studio, I go through a
lot of receptiveness in the studio. I have to do a drawing over and over again
until I decide which has perfect line weight and which one is very neat. I don’t
want if one day, I won’t be able to pick up my lead holder. That’s what life is
about? You never know when you are going to be able to do something that you
have done a lot before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">After
reading this passage, I have reminded myself of why I am here in studio,
writing this essay, why I want to be here, and how I should appreciate more the
things I do that others are not able to accomplish themselves. I think everyone should read this book, not
just read and soak in the context that’s in in black and white in front of you,
but their own meaning to the passage, how it relates to their lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
