Rockridge
On my way to Rockridge I had an idea of where I was going but once I interviewed people it was diffrent I tought it would be like Walnut Creek and it is, but there is a lot of diffrences there. I think that people there are less rude. The people there are easier to get interviwed they mostly said yes, or if they would say no they would say sorry because they are doing something. In Walnut Creek a lot of people say No straight up. I think that Rockridge is a Nice part of Oakland where its clean and nice and safe. One of the negative things they said about Rockridge was that they break in to the stores a lot. But they said that other then that they think its safe. I think that poeple there also seem to care about their comunity and where they live thats why its clean. When I went into the shops and ansked people if we could interview them they mostly said yeah or they were busy but still said it in a nice way. Also when we walked down the streets people said excuse me if they wanted to pass us or something like that they were really respectful and didnt look at us weird like in Walnut Creek.

Murders
The neighborhood I lived which was the Murder Dubbs was a good neighborhood I liked it a lot because I Like it a lot because i know everyone around there. Once i moved to the other neighborhood is different know I stay in deep East Oakland is worse People are different. Like I just haven't got use to that are. But I think that I will or maybe not I do like it but not as much as my old neighborhood. Oakland is a good city i like it a lot because there is something fun to do its not like other cities were its to calm and if you do something people call the cops. For example I Put music really loud like around midnight my neighbors don't even trip. I have cousins who live in other quiet cities and if you put music at ten they are already trippen. I think that Oakland people are less delicate then in other areas here. This city is Not just a bad City people only talk about the bad things about it but there is also many good things about it. Oakland is the Home of the Athletics, Raiders, and Warriors. They are moving the Oakland Athletics to Fremont I think that is a very bad idea bacasue that team is From Oakland and we have a Basketball and football team and now we are going to loose the baseball team. I am a big fan of the oakland Athletics and i think that it is very sad they are moving them.
Chinatown reflection
when I went to Chinatown I didn't think it would be how it is where people are not so rude like in Walnut creek. I got there and tried to interview people I thought it would be much harder. But I ask people if they could get interviewed. a lot of the people did say no but also a lot of them said yeah. That was really surprising for me, because when we went to Walnut Creek it was much harder to interview people. Many of the people who said no was because they didn't speak much English and were confused about our project. I think the differences between Fruitvale and Chinatown are a lot but there is also many similarities. First of all I would say that in Fruitvale there is more Latinos and in Chinatown more Asians. I think in Economics people are about the same from mid class to Lower class. things you see around are similar just that depending on the place they have more products from their culture. People also speak Spanish in the Fruitvale area and Chinese in the Chinatown area. I think that Even though that people in Fruitvale and in Chinatown Are not as Wealthy as Walnut Creek people seem to be more respectful. In Chinatown people who said no because they didn't speak English they try to say no in a nice way.

HENNESSY
this picture shows a broken glass bottle this shows that someone was drinking in the street threw that there. he/she know what the broken bottle would do to this community. this is just making the environment more dirty. its also dangerous some little kid might walk there and fall and get hurt really bad . this piece of trash is not good for the environment. the person who was drinking the bottle of liquor maybe did not have no money to eat just that bottle of liquor and maybe he was hungry so he drank that.
