In the eyes of a teenager, a home or a neighborhood is permanent. It is a place as essential to his imagination as it is to his development; street vendors become protectors and city blocks become new frontiers. One of the attempts at presenting these books, which jump from decade to decade is to show the change and evolution of the neighborhoods - the constant development, destruction, and then redevelopment of neighborhoods. I want to show people a Chicago that is divided; divided into smaller communities (ever-changing communities), by race, friends, and money. I want to show how easy it is to be wrapped up in a circle of friends but to also be obstructed from one’s place in the world. I think that the image of an adolescent returning to his neighborhood to find that it has changed completely is very sober and important. It marks a new stage in one’s life, perhaps even encapsulates the transition from childhood into adulthood..
