Decatur Metro

Shaun Roberts

The reader can tell from the writers posts on the importance of topics within the neighborhood. They focus on the several deep problems within the area. Some of these topics may not directly correlate to the city itself, but rather the world as a whole, but in some way have something to do with the problems of the city. Decatur Metro talks about in one posting about the banned books through history. They celebrate the banned books to show that no literature should be banned. This implies that reading is important and should not be destroyed or banned just because of some context. These books, though vulgar in some way, are important because they teach a lesson worth learning. The blog has pictures on the post to help give a visual of the idea but doesnt seem to use the same media types for many other blog posts.

The writer also posts about the safety in certain neighborhoods. Even though the focus is on really small topics, such as the the stealing of a car, the main point is the overall safety of the neighborhood. As said before, they focus on the larger problems that could harm a neighborhood, while showing what a good neighborhood should be. The residents are instructed to be safe and help with the safety of the other citizens.

On a larger scale, the writer also talks about the energy problem that America is facing. It talks about how areas that are not well circulated with water will not be able to receive as much renewable energy from the sun. The demand of energy today has a harsh effect on the planet and individual neighborhoods to be more precise. They writer instructs that even though the burden would be less, renewable energy does not come without its defects.
