The D.I.Y New York City takes an in-depth look at the punk/pop underground culture of New York city. The author of this attends different venues/concerts around an area of New York City and why it's so important to their culture. This is an effective way of reporting my final project because of the pictures that help emphasize the author's description of the venue (the pictures really show what the author means, as words can create a lot of different images in the readers head). They also include the introduction as a brief summary of what's to come.

The "Final project" is not as open on their description of what exactly they're examining in New York City. I really liked in the previous one how the author provided a brief introduction as to what he/she was going to talk about, however, this one lacked that. They did not include pictures, but overall the writing is well done. This overall theme is based on the different culture in New York City.

"Come Together" also does not include an introduction. This overall theme again examines the culture by going to different restaurants, museums and music venues to help describe New York City. It briefly discusses the history of that specific area of NYC and incorporates photos to help involve the reader and put them there. This is an effective project and I would use it.

"Modern Gomorrah" focuses again on the culture of this particular area of NYC. There is no introduction like in D.Y.I to help give the reader an idea of what is to come. The author went to the main points of culture, such as restaurants, theaters, museums, etc. It does an effective job of placing you there by including pictures and sharing first hand experiences as with most of the other projects. For the most part I believe that this is an effective writing piece (just lacking the introduction).
