Leimert Park vs. San Marino

 I choose to write about option two. Reading the two stories, I found that the difference there is between the two would be the ethnic and language. “Dangerous Days” takes place in Leimert Park; you could say it is a Black/Mexican community where the violence there is high. The housing is low income housing. There will be payback shooting, such like Blacks killing Chicano and Chicano killing Blacks. You will have the gangster and drug dealers taking over the community. People tend to know nothing when a shooting accords. And there is the language; it is more of a slang style language, such like Spanglish, and Ebonics. “Midnight in Silcone Alley”, takes place in San Marino, an upscale housing and businesses community. People there will have a higher standard living. Its community is made up of Asian culture. They have their share of violence but not as bad as. The language is not as harsh as the language in “Dangerous Day.” Comparing the difference with ethnic and language you would have to say that San Marino is a place where people would like to live to bring up a family, more so then living in Leimert Park.
