I’ve been doing a lot of research for my project. Most of the media I’m using for my project is articles. But I have some images that show the history of my site which I’m also looking at. The articles support my ideas as many have interviews or testimonials from locals who grew up or have a connection to the area such as business owners who have seen firsthand the late 1900s to the site as it is in the modern day. These articles also show the history starting from the late 1800s to around 2022. Since these articles are mostly hyper-specific about the period they talk about, it helps me grasp what the site and area was like during the time period the articles discuss. Besides the articles, the photos also help support my idea of Chinatown developing from mostly male laborers trying to do business through restaurants and stores. Both of these media types support my writing work as they both paint a picture of what it was like to be in Chinatown during the 1900s, the late 1800s, and a glimpse at the modern-day. It’ll also help for the speculative parts of my writing of the future since I can analyze the articles and history for any trends that may give a hint of what may come in the future.
