The book somehow makes stripes even more noticeable to me than before. I have realized that there are stripes all over the world with various colors and lengths. Stripes actually work as a very powerful source for everything. As an example, observing my room, I have found approximately more than 30 items of stripes. Stripes in clothes are just magical since it makes a person look wider, skinnier, taller, or shorter. While reading through art history books and art works it is possible to say stripes were popular in art world since the past. It is almost impossible to say what stripes actually represents but it is still a popular pattern. Stripes do not say only one thing as a whole, but it has all sorts of explanations on how it is used, where it is used, what colors it is, why it is used, and so on. It makes me wonder : Can desginers stop using stripes in their design? Can comsumers live without stripes and can they imagine the world without stripes? If so, what can be the alternative pattern replacing the stripes?

Nice work observing the stripes around you. 30! Rather than cite "art history" in general, go to our texts and share a citation and some thoughts about what Pastoureau researched about stripes. Being specific makes an argument much stronger...
