I really like this article. I think that this piece is so creative, and so emotionally strong that it will move the audience to tears. Gang violence is ever-increasing in today's community, so this piece will hit home to many different communities, not just those who are directly involved in the gang violence. I am not only moved by the content of the piece, but by the participation of the audience after the showing. I love getting feedback from people regarding my work: I think that you can get a fresh idea on something that you have been slaving over for hours, and you also get the experience to appreciate or view your work in a new light.
