Seeing pg. 94, #'s 1 & 2


1.     The first thing I see is the poster of Bruce Lee located on page ninety-two. Some other objects that really grab hold of my attention are the1990s' basketball posters on the wall. What caught my eye is how I knew this room (also known as "Badge of Honor) told me a date without specifically giving me one. Meaning I knew the time setup in which this room was possibly made. In the late '90s I knew Enter the Dragon starring Bruce Lee was rereleased, so it regained popularity at that time. Hence maybe that's why he has some Bruce Lee posters in his room. You can tell that the teenage boy still having a bike could mean he doesn't have his driver's license. He is in to sports obviously by the room being surrounded with baseball cards, basketball posters and sports gear. In all you can assume he is your atypical extroverted teenage boy. You can tell that Osorio’s style is very simplistic, but with a unique radiance to it. 



2.     I would say that Osorio's work of optimizing a teenage boy’s bedroom was a tremendous success. Like I said before he hit the nail on the head by exemplifying of what an extroverted teenage boy's room is. One object that I didn't mention before is the poster of the "cool" car he was on his wall. It's pretty a stereotypical assumption that all guys have an infatuation with motor vehicles. Some fantasy aspects that Osorio pinched in are all the trophies the teenage boy has. A lot of boys have this competitive nature of being the alpha male. Many feel you need to finish first or don't finish at all. This boy was very fortunate to have in what many boys want so bad, but cannot attain. This meaning of fantasy in which exemplified has to deal with desire.
