Hearing the voices of Karakura
Leon Kostopoulous
Karakura is a place that can be seen as a mysterious town from the outside view. First entering the town, whether it be just moving here or visiting for vacation or family, it’s clear to see that this town is certainly different from your everyday City. The bustling of the city folk is abundant, whether it be the people wandering The town's plaza, handing out books with varying information or selling merchandise they bought themselves, or maybe it’s the town's shopping district, a place to go with friends and peruse the deals given to you by the amazing shopkeepers. The fact of the matter is, to an outside source, this town is a place full of adventure, a place to meet people and explore, but does the point stay the same with people who have always lived here.
Some people see the plaza, with faces unrecognized by others, but the average Karakura citizens may see the plaza as a crowded walkway, getting in the way of where they have to go. The opinions of this town and the people in town vary from person too person, and today I’d like to be able to show the people who don’t have a lot of a voice in this town more of a chance to speak up, a way to tell how they feel about Karakura, an outlet of speech. From yesterday to today, I have gone around asking citizens to describe Karakura in there own way, in a single sentence, whether this person is a college student, a doctor or even a middle schooler, I made sure to leave as many voices unheard as I could, so now, here are some examples of the real thoughts of Karakura

None of these opinions are from myself, but from citizens, and all those who wanted to be on camera have consented.
