• Graffiti is essential for us.

• There are some reasons why we have to abandon graffiti.

First, graffiti enables the public to see something theymay have never seen before. It connects them to the artist, and the artist gets to know that their work is loved and affects those who see it. They can take a simpleold building or any piece of art on the side of a building and turn it into a masterpiece by putting their mark on it. The artists who paint graffiti have made this art form what it is today. Graffiti artists can change the meaning of what they are drawing to the public.

The underlined word in the last sentence refers to ...

• graffiti

• graffities

• graffiti artists

Second, graffiti has the power to affect people positively. The people who create it are expressing themselves. They are expressing their artistic abilities and their voices through a canvas. Their voices are the voices of our future. You can tell the quality of a person’s painting by the audience that they are drawing. People will stand and watch you paint for hours. Many times, they will stand and look, never once moving from their spots. People will then tell you how much they like it and share their thoughts and opinions. The artists are no longer making art for themselves.

What is the main idea of the paragraph above?

• People share their opinions about graffiti.

• Graffiti has the power to affect people positively.

• The artists make art for themselves.

The last reason why graffiti is an art is because of itsuniqueness. Graffiti can be made with many different materials, but its most common form is made by applying paint to a building’s wall. Graffiti is made by someone utterly other than the artist, which means no two pieces are the same. Graffiti is a form of expression because it gives the reader or viewer the chance to see something different from their everyday life. Graffiti art is not meant to be understood by everyone, but everyone is meant to be appreciated.
