Passive Agressive Notes

This week my favorite article to read was the most recent one that we read on Passive agressive notes. I loved some of the notes that were posted by some of the people whether they be in a workplace, an apartment complex, or just online. I also found it funny how all of the notes had some sense of humor to them whether it was intentional or not. Most people got their point across in the notes that they left, but it may not have been in the manner they intended too.
This thought of passive agressive notes really interested me because I had not thought of these kinds of notes as being passive agressive before. While I had an understanding of what it meant to be passive agressive before reading the article, I had only thought of it in a face to face situation before. I also hadn't realized that making a joke about a particular topic could be considered the most passive agressive act a person could perform. This article opened my eyes and really made me think about some of the jokes or comments I have made in the past. It made me wonder how many people think of me as being a passive agressive person, or just funny in some instances.

The article we read in class that had the biggest effect on me this week was definitely the article about the September 11th tattoos. I feel that tattoos can have a very deep meaning to a person and they can show a true piece to that persons identity. The tattoos that were shown in that article were ones that had a lot of meaning within themselves. They were memorials of all of the victims that unfortunately passed away during that tragic event. A tattoo is something that you have for life, and those people who have those tattoos about September 11th are showing how much that event impacted them. The tattoos give them the reminders every day that there was a time when this great nation was under attack and they are showing that they will never forget the event, or the people that lost their lives.
