The book “Nonstop Metropolis” shows different kinds of maps to represent different perspectives. For example it brings together musicians, artists, photographers etc. It also brings out certain problems happening in a certain area.All you have to find a topic and map its awareness in which I will be doing. My map will be showing all the homeless in New York City. The reason why I am doing this is because they are part of the community and I want to raise awareness for them, it can be hard living like that almost 78,000 are just living in New York City alone.They deal with a lot already as it is and they do not even have a voice in society because of their current situation which is one of the many reasons why this topic appealed to me. As I was walking home I would see so many homeless people on the ground begging for money, this motivated me to show how it looks on a map to see how many people in our own city need some assistance. I am thinking if I should focus on the borough I am living in or the whole five boroughs itself. First I will be drawing a map of New York City or the bronx to start off. Then I will have a legend and draw the different areas in which a lot of the homeless live a different color so it can stand out. Then I would like to draw the different areas that can help the homeless for instance shelters, charities, programs and inns all provided to help the homeless. This is how the outline will look like.

I like how you started the proposal with the reference to Nonstop metropolis. Good choice for a topic since it is important to raise awareness about homelessness. Many people suffer with this problem but you don’t hear much discussion about this in our society. This topic is non debatable because many people suffer from it and it is a big part of our society. If you walk outside you can spot many homeless people on the street or on the train. I believe you can finish the five page essay requirement with all the information you gather. This topic has the location of New York City but person is still deciding if to do all five boroughs or not. I would suggest that you should do all five boroughs so you more information about the topic and to see different amount of homeless people living in each borough.
