I thought that "The Social Meaning of T-Shirts" was quite interesting in displaying how T-Shirts have a lot more than just words or phrases on them. T-shirts can describe who a person is. The can even be a mode of advertising and quite often are. For example, the clothing companies Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, and American Eagle are large T-shirt distributors due to the amount of advertising they do, and how many people wear there T-shirts due to its media popularity. There are also some people who just wear what ever T-Shirt is near, and don't really have any need to $35 T-shirts that are made by a brand name company. It talks about how T-shirts are also used to describe the person and their own thoughts, views, or what they like. Some people may have shirts showing their favorite bands. The story displays all kinds of people and what shirts they wear.
