Reflection about Fruitvale



My experiences between Fruitvale and Walnut Creek are that in Fruitvale it was harder because we got rejected a lot. But in Walnut Creek we didn't get rejected a lot because we didnt ask a lot of people for interviews. Why I think that it was harder was in Fruitvale people were bussy or they were shy. Another reason that it was harder in Fruitvale was that people didn't want there voices to be recorded. Because when we went up to them we asked them if we could interview them and they said ''yes'' but when they seen the voice recorder they changed there mind and said "never mind". The new things that I learned about our community are that some people say that graffiti is nothing wrong because its art, but tagging is bad because they just put whatever in the walls for example were they live at or gang signs. Some positive things from fruitvale are some people were nice and they cared about their community. Another positive thing was that people were being honest and respectful. Some negative aspects are the streets are dirty and some people don't care about there own community they just throw the thrash in the ground. Something that I learned about my topic(aesthetics)are that people want to help out there community but other people just go and destroy it.
