Banksy gives Ronald McDonald's clown shoes a shine

Today, our teacher ask us for a summary about a news from this page: http://www.guardian.co.uk/

I chose one related to "Banksy", here the link:

Banksy gives Ronald McDonald's clown shoes a shine by Jonathan Jones

Banksy, is one of the most famous  and controversial artist from UK and now he's in New York doing a "residence". In front of many McDonald's is where he makes one of his "performance"; in this work the artist put a Ronald's statue and a real boy shoeshine working for him.


The journalist, declare that this is not a new idea, all the people around the world knows about the bad things that this corporation do and in addition, all the statement that the republican extremist says.
For this reason, Jones think that Banksy's art is very silly, done to foolish people.
His visit caused a lot of movement in NY since a lot of fans ride around the city looking for his pieces until financial speculation about his works.
This provoke an uneasiness in the journalist, because Banksy is an street artist, not a "gallery artist", for this all, is at least suspicious all this situation... but he give to him an space for a doubt, because apparently the artist knows this situation.... for that he make the next "show" sell it his works in a very cheap price.
Fan or not fan of Banksy, he's at least interesting to watch, so many people have been saying that Banksy have been died... but now we can see that this sentence insn't true.... in spite of he maintain alive through the polemic.

See you little classmates!
