Homework 1) On the first picture we can see a man who seems to be a graffiti artist we see him to vomit after writing on the wall. We can think that Bansky tried to show difficulty of the graffiti which can be very harmful for the health or we could think that the American societies is better that in 2013 2) This work made with a stencil, represents to the right, a painter provided with a bucket, with a brush and with two paper rolls. This man seems tired and looks at a sentence written in black and in capitals: follow your dreams. But all the hardness of this work is in a word: cancelled. This one is written in white, in capitals, on a red bottom and on the previous sentence. For me this word means that the man to the right has no more the possibility of following his dreams, those this were "cancelled".

Mickey Mouse, the symbol of the mark Disney, highlights the American, ultra-influential culture on all the planet. Ronald Mc Donald, emblem of the multinational of the same name, personifies the setting-up, the American presence in everything countries as well as its system of capitalist consumption. Finally, the Vietnamese young person represents the military power of the country, capable of bringing down any nation
