                                                     Ethnography


        In this assignment I have chose '' The Grove '' to visit. I have chose this place because of many reasons. One of these reasons is because this space is being visited by a lot of people everyday specially on the weekend. Also, foreign people go to this place and see the amazing things in it. I went there on the 19 of march with some of my friends. I was sitting on a coffee table, and watching the people walking. I really enjoyed my time there because the weather was perfect and the people there were great as well. I believe that this space is a perfect space to fit in this project because on The Grove I can see where people can go and spend their time during the weekend instead of  going to night clubs or other places. Also, this space is supporting the idea of peace all around the world because I saw a lot people from different countries in one place and everyone is in his own space and no one jumps over to other people spaces and take it over, so I this space shows the great atmosphere that people are dreaming about this to happen in the world around us. Therefore, I can see the city of '' Los Angeles '' as a space because this city can be a space for everyone who lives in '' LA'' . In addition, the space that I visited has a big function towards this subject because it shows every single person is having his own space and his own place to refresh his thoughts. The Grove is a public place, yet I can feel that everyone who's walking there and look around the place has his own personal space. The Grove does not really has a big history or a story to tell, but the meaning of the word ''The Grove'' has very meaning. This word means that '' The Grove'' is a place that gather all kinds of fruits in one place, so it's really great place to think about. I really found this place as one of the spaces that people can find their own space and his privacy in this space. Everyone in the world must has his own space and place because he or she must need a privacy space to go to it. Also, one of the important things about this place is that the grove celebrate all the special events such as New Year, and it helps people to celebrate their personal events, so it's not just p a place to visit.  
In conclusion, i would recommend that everyone should go to this place and see the exact thing that i saw and discover the beautiful things that i discovered. Maybe you will see it differently from your own perspective. also, this place could help you to see the world in a different sight, and make you get a new experience and see the whole world in one place.

Inside Miss Los Anglese written by Jerry Stahl, was singed to my group. This article describes some fact in L.A. Basically, Jerry talks about the entertaining life in L.A. first, Jerry shows his perspective about Los Anglese. He describes the city in a very beautiful way. Also, he talks about his experiences that he has been. he fall in love with stripper who works in a strip club. Jerry was really shocked after he discovered that she had two faces, and she didn't really loved him. Thus, he referred this situation to the city of L.A, so he relates this bad experienced to his point of view of Los Anglese. 


My response to this article: I really like his description, and the way he described L.A. However, i dislike some bad words he wrote because he did not show some respect to the readers. Also, i really struggled with some words because the vocabulary in this article is a little hard to me.
The question that i would ask is: has this article been published in many news paper?

    In the book Convergences i read about the '' The Basketball court '' cluster, and i found out a lot of interesting things. Basketball can be played any where in the world, and the place that this game takes is not very big, so everyone can enjoy this game with out taking a lot of spaces. Also, i can create the space that i want to and play it anywhere.

Analysis picture:
   The picture that i found interesting to me is that the magazine cover. this image shows how both gender can play and interact with this game. Also, it shows some stereotypes image because i can see a face of a black guy on the cover which presents that black people play very well and professionally. thus, this might grab more attention to the magazine due to the cover.
