Response to Yesterday's Class Discussion

Listening to yesterday's class discussion was quite interesting. It seemed like everyone had very insightful things to say about coffeehouses. I agree with Hisam when he mentioned that people our age usually go to coffeehouses because they provide us with a palce to go when nothing else is going on. Coffeehouses give my friends and I a place to go when we can't find anything to do or when we are just bored. I also agree with Stephanie when she said that kids go to coffeehouses because they don't want to stay home. Coffeehouses act as an outlet for kids that just want to get out and relax.

Reading this article by Michael Marriot really caught my attention because it made me think about this growing phenomeon. Coffeehouses have become extremely popular and it looks like they will be around for quite some time. This article touched on the many aspects of coffeehouses, and it provided various opinions. Marriot provided quotes from frequent coffeehouses goers, something I found to be interesting. Hearing different viewpoints on the same thing (a coffeehouse) certainly is intriguing. Many people like coffeehouses because it allows them to do various things such as reading a book, relaxing, enjoying a cup of cup, hanging out with friends, etc. People like coffeehouses for different reasons, but the common factor that everyone shares is their liking for coffeehouses.
