V. Reading Comprehension 14%     "Basically, when I look around, I see us living in a modern day Babylon, full of temptation, sin, distraction,corruption, injustice, and misguided fools being mentally enslaved. It seems to me the only way to wake peopleup from this kind of numbness is to destroy what they know: Their business, their places of commerce and theirbiggest place of gathering, the cities! Put it on their trains, on the lines they take to work, on their rooftops, ontheir highways, on anything just to make some people realize that culture isn't lost and that, at the very least, asmall group of kids is fighting to keep it alive." This is the way Coda, a 21-year-old writer, put it when describingwhat his reasons were for writing graffiti.      In the early days of graffiti, most writers were ghetto children. But now an estimated one half of the writersin the USA are coming from white middle and upper class homes; but these kids have demonstrated to the worldand to the suburbs around it through graffiti their rejection of the values that are placed and pressured on them bytheir upbringings and surroundings.      There are three main and distinct levels of graffiti. First, there is the tag--the stylized writing of a name.Following the tag is the "throw up" which is a quickly done type of graffiti that is more time-consuming andmuch bigger than most tags. Throw ups usually are made of bubble letters and are no more than two colors.Subway Art (the book) says a throw up is "a name painted quickly with one layer of spray paint and an outline."And after the throw up, there's the more complex and more skillful piece or "burner." The ability to do burners iswhere the term graffiti artist most appropriately comes into play. Although tags and throw-ups can be very wellexecuted and have great style, it is the piece work that allows a graffitist to really show everyone what he/she isabout.
