"Preconceptions vs. Reality": A Response to Steven's Essay

I chose this famous art piece, the Mona Lisa, to represent Steven’s article. The Mona Lisa is not the most gorgeous picture, and it is actually very small and underwhelming when you see it. But because it is so hyped up and everyone knows how famous it is, they feel it is amazing. I think this relates to Steven’s essay but slightly in the opposite. The north part of campus is known to be the worst thing EVER. And sometimes people may confuse whether it is actually bad or they believe it is bad solely because everyone says it is. Steven touched upon this point in his essay where he says, “Everything about North before proved true. I wonder, is that because I have heard it all before or because it is true?” I think this can be a strong point to make and can be used more throughout the essay when talking about his preconceptions versus reality.
