In making this map that serves underlife in any kind of way, I saw a great opportunity to grasp underlife in Cone's diner. I'm here with a group of friends and we're just having a lunch together on a Tuesday at 11:00am. I look around (not to be nosey) and notices differences in people. I start to ask myself some questions
-Why did people choose this place to eat at?
-What is so attractive about this place?
-Who really are these people?
I notice two huge kind of literacy here:
-Embodied
-Sonic
One significant embodied literacy I found was the different groups of people at tables. I figured that most of the groups in here hang with each other based on identity, including: Language, Dialect, Food, and Maturity. I felt like the underlife in these groups put them in a group where they are more comfortable with each other. In the sonic literacy, I tried not to get in other people's business, but I notice different CONVERSATIONS between groups. Some of the conversations included: Drama, Politics, Sports, and Music. I also felt like the underlife in these groups put them together.
But what makes this place so attractive to the current people eating here?-Capacity: Number of tables, Size of room.
-Entertainment: TV, Relationships, Stage.
-Design: Yellow Walls, Windows showing balcony and campus, Shape of tables, Pictures.
The underlining message I'm trying to point out is that making the decision to eat here at Cone is more than picking a place to eat at, being more convenient, instead it shows the description of your personalities, weather you are eating with someone or alone; it shows where your family comes from, based on what you eat; and it can show your time management, being how fast of an eater you are.
