  Prisons are meant to be scary, powerful looking places, while Toontown is meant for fun and childlike enjoyment – how is this reflected in the lines and angles of the buildings. 

 The prison is a strict and serious place.Hence, the lines of the building are majority straight. The angles of the prison are usually build at 90 degree or sharp angles. When a place had more straight lines and sharp angles, if will create a sense of seriousness. This is usually what a prison will be felt like.  In contrast, the toontown do have a variety of lines such as straight and curve. The angle of the toontown is also more rounded. This will be more lively. The toontown is built with a variety of shapes. This make the building to be more comfortable to look at.

The purpose of a prison which is being built because it is a place where people are being lock up in there because they had broke the law. This is also a place where there are no freedom for the prisoner. Therefore, prison are being built high and up straight. Prisons are also built big and tall as it is also on way to prevent the prisoner from escaping. Comparing to the toontown, which is much more smaller and cute. A toontown is a place for family to enjoy their day and spent their day happily, therefore with all the curves and rounded edges side it will make the building to see more comfortable and smooth. The size of the vehicles such as truck is being shrinks down.
