Night at the Museum

The place I saw myself in this piece of art was actually on the 1 percent that was not present in the painting. This painting represented me because the 99% made me think of everyone my age. It also demonstrates that I do not have the same college experience that a typical college student would have. I am having a more exhausting experience since I’m balancing multiple jobs with school, and I need these jobs due to personal circumstances. Another reason why this painting represents me is because even though I hang out with people my age my beliefs and my work rate separate me from them. The language barrier has also isolated me throughout my time at college because I don’t feel comfortable speaking English so the painting reflects how the 99% of my classmates have found their friends while I’m still struggling to find some. This piece of art reflects my community because 99% of Hispanics have a strong work rate that goes unnoticed and is truly only recognized for 1% of the things they contribute to American society. Finally, this represents New Yorkers because since New York is made up of many individuals with different skillsets it means that if New York needs change we are the ones that can fight for it since we are the majority of the state of New York.
