HomeWork 27: Surveys

When i went to talk to my mom, the first thing she does is cool at me and ask me "what do you mean cool is suck a big topic." then she stated that her children are cool, just because they are, she didn't name and names of society like celebrities that she though were cool. I was like that this topic didn't really appeal to her, no matter what question you ask.

While walking in the streets my teacher Mr. snyder reminds us to avoid people who are using to their digital representational devices. As i am walking toward east 23rd street i stop and interview a middle age peach skin guy wearing a brown coat. states that "Popularity" is one thing t hat shows "coolness.". He relates popularity with out you dress, and how he is too old to be cool even though he is stating the way to be cool.

As the interview time continues on i meet a 65 year old lady whom says she is just an ordinary person, and unlike the brown coat peach man she thinks she is a cool person and that "i am the coolest person i know!" "kids hang with me"

As time goes on and avoiding people who has sunglasses on, cellphones or earphones out, or are avoiding your gaze, and getting screamed at by an old disabled man who has social issues i finally find a lady who would walk with me and answer some questions.

The Purple jacket female actually told me a name of the coolest person she knew. it was "Robin Stuats" the purple jacket female rambled on about how robin had the most perfect hair, or the greatest clothes, and was smart and a cheerleader. i asked her about what she though out kids today and if they were cool in her eyes, and she thought "the things i like about kids today, is that they are funny, maybe it is because they have you-tube or television!" i even asked her if should though coolness progressed, and she though that you can be smart now and cool, being smart isn't looked down by others. but i though she said robin was smart and how was robin cool and smart if it wasn't considered cool back then. i guess you had to look good and fit into good characters in society to be smart and cool. she thinks of herself as cool now since she says "now i am, i was too focused on what other though in the past."

as i walked by even though i got three people i noticed how everyone uses the same excuses of how they are late for work or school, or they automatically say no like they were ready for you before i asked my question. but i had the feeling of getting one more person since two of three interviews were short that's when i met friendly mustache man. once i asked him about coolness she didn't really understand but when i explained to him a little of the class and what we were learning the first thing in his past wasn't a childhood classmate from his teens but instead was the Beatles, he like their music and though that they were cool. again another person looking down on themselves and thinking he is not cool, but do think that kids today are "pretty" and he looked back to smartness and how he though kids today are smarter than kids when he was younger. this concludes my interview on the street with random people.
