Essay 1

The documentary, “Style Wars” featured interviews with a wide variety of people who talked about graffiti from different perspectives. For this paper, identify one point of contention: what is one way that different people or groups understand or interact with graffiti differently? Why is this difference important?

Back up your claim (that this point of contention exists and is meaningful) by describing how it is shown in the documentary. You can describe scenes, use quotes, or paraphrase. Be sure to explain how your citations illustrate your point.

Since this is a short essay, quotes should be succinct. Use the minimum necessary to illustrate your point.

500 words.

Grading will be based on the following:

-the strength of the claim,

-the use of data/evidence (are your scenes/quotes relevant to what you want to show)

-the explanation of how the data shows the claim (the analysis)
