Question Three: The new murals in the Library are also going to be about History. There are many ways to tell history. What do you think should be the major THEME or CONCEPT of the mural? A theme or concept might be Immigration, Decades, Civil Rights, Teenage Life, Famous People and Events, Music, Sports or something else. Why is the theme you pick important?

  1. Yo pienso que un concepto importante que deberķan de poner es sobre la esclavitud y sobre los indios porque la raza de nosotros viene de esas civilizaciones.

  2. Los murales deberķan representar deportes

  3. Yo pienso que deberķan poner es como los blancos abusaban a los negros.

  4. Well, I would pick teenage life and music today. The reason why is because we are the future and music has a big impact on our lives.

  5. It should be mainly about what teens went through and what they liked for example music. And also the adults and what they liked.

  6. The civil right are more important.

  7. I think the murals should include famous people because then other kids that come to school will learn about history and things to do when they get out of high school.

  8. I think it should be about teenage life because I'm a teenager. It is more comfortable for me because I have better ideas about teenage life.

  9. I would chose the civil rights for a theme.

  10. I think it should be about teenage life in general school like it does make sense since it's located in a school. That will be good if they show different things that occur in teenage life.

  11. I think the new murals should be about civil rights for everyone. The theme you pick is important because you need to pick a good theme that effect all the students and a theme people really cares about.

  12. Different decades because it's an interesting topic. The past. Continents. Just think, many people have never heard of Nubians or Nubia including myself. My teacher made us write of this show and that's how I know they exist.

  13. The theme I pick is teenage life because most people don't understand teenagers even though they were once teenagers and they don't understand why and how they behave. It would be important because it would help adults understand teenagers.

  14. The theme I picked was the events and famous people. Also, developments and culture.

  15. " Civil Rights and famous people" The theme that I pick is important because in the future it can help others and it is important in live

  16. The theme I picked is very important because it is about education and education is important to kids.

  17. I think I'll pick teenage life. This theme is important to me because I want people to know what teens go threw in life.

  18. I think the theme I pick is important because their was war back then

  19. times. People died for their country and they wanted peace. But till this day we still have wars. Nothing has accomplished.

  20. I pick immigration because people that live in other places are sometimes poor and we could learn about them and help them travel to NY to get help.

  21. I think they should have more arts of civil rights. It is important because most African Americans that came here in 1969 didn't know what rights they had.

  22. I think we should paint a mural that describes the future after 2000.These are the painting we should paint if we were in space or the universe.

  23. I think it should be decades because every single issue or important person can't be represented completely but the decades have specifics.

  24. The think the theme " Thrive for excellence" had many meaning and is very people

  25. The major theme or concejt of the mural according to me should be: "Famous people and events." This theme is important because it give us some information about the fast

  26. It's important because it talks about that themes history

  27. I think the theme is teenage life because in shows how we can work together and the hardships and sacrifices that were made.

  28. I think it should be about civil rights because it is very important. A lot of people did not have civil rights. It is good to learn about what rights people had and what rights they needed. The major theme of the mural should be about teenage life. I am a teenager and I would like to know more about the bad and good influences we're facing The development of cultures throughout time. Teenage life is an important theme because we like to learn how teenagers would learn. All of these themes are important because they mean something to someone and everyone.

  29. People at Evander can compare their own events and culture to that of the library mural. They would be able to compare and explain the differences.

  30. I think the next picture should be about our life style today, and how we improved and discovered more things.

  31. The theme that I choose was teenage life because it would help them not to smoke, drink or use drugs and may give reasons why not to use it.

  32. I would pick music because it is important to me. It helps me feel better when something bad happens.

  33. I would pick teenage life because is important and today things revolve around it.

  34. The theme that I would pick would be teenage life. I think that theme is important because its dealing with teens inside school. Its showing how we live instead of how others live.

  35. The theme I pick is Civil Rights.

  36. respect others the way you would like to be respected1

  37. i feel that the murals should show World War 1 and World War 2.

  38. Teenage life! It's to show how we dress and go to school. So the other new teenagers for the next century; see how we lived , dress, act, and go to school.

  39. I think they should have a little of everything because this days that's what we have they should have like a group of students all different nation together talking to each others.

  40. Decade, because I talk about everything that is around me.

  41. Well, the concept of the mural could be "Be the best that you can be" because it really pushes people to be more than what they are or could be. It makes them go the distance and achieve their goals.

  42. I think it should be of most people because people do a lot of reports on famous people in the library. I think that it should be about teenage life because one that would interest us teenage and two I think it should be up there because most teenagers don't know what's going on in their lives. Right now, so I think that they have stuff that teenagers would like and what they should know about. - Decades, this is important because it can show us the history and the mistakes or errors. And to help us remember that was the wrong way. So now lets make it the right way for our generations to come. - I would like to see teenage life but drugs, violence should not be allowed in school or any where. Show that violence or using drugs does not result in anything. I would also what to see the different kinds of cultures like Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, and Ecuador. - I would like to see things about teenage life because were teens and we should see more things about us.

  43. I pick up that theme because the teenager of this time don't think about it and the sports are very important because we can develop own skills.

  44. I think that the mural concept of the decades because first he being with the Indians, then they were religions with cloths.

  45. I world like to see the Aztec calendary and the civilization of the Aztecs.

  46. I pick the civil rights because the way I can show the people, that we have rights.

  47. I will like to see people helping others out having fun, nobody gets mad over something little like dancing with each other, listening to music things like that.
