Textual Analysis Of 13th Street
For this assignment, I chose my sister to sketch a second map of the area between Alder and Kincaid street. My sister is heading into her senior year at the University of Oregon, and knows the area quite well. I told her that I needed her to sketch a map from Kincaid to Alder street and label all the streets and businesses/shops around the area. I then gave her a ruler and a pencil and let her go to work.
When starting on my map, the first thing I did was draw the horizontal streets of Alder and Kincaid. I then drew the vertical 13th street that went between Alder and Kincaid. 13th street is a very busy street on campus. 13th street for myself, is a street I use every day from spending money on food and the Duck store, to using the street …show more content…

She certainly still uses 13th street the same way I use it. She still uses 13th street to walk from her car to class every day and still needs to find parking around the area, but the way she interacts with the environment is different compared to me. She is a girl so she’s really into coffee and drinks, which is why she places high value on the coffee shops such as Starbucks and Espresso Roma. She doesn’t really like to spend money and eat lunch on campus so she doesn’t really interact with places such as QDOBA, Noodle Head, or Jimmy …show more content…
For that reason, our maps were different. I clearly knew a lot more about the area because I’ve been around it for 6/7 years while she’s only been around it like 2/3 years. By looking at my maps you can tell that I have labeled things having to do with driving, like the bike lane, the crosswalk, and parking around the area. These are all very important to point out when you’re trying to get to class on time. As for my sisters map she only labeled shops so that probably all she thinks of that
