Many places were affected, one of those places was Los Angeles except it was changed for the better. It was an ordinary day in Los Angeles, California. The birds chirped and the flowers bloomed. People went from living in the streets to millionaires. Such was the story of Rosie Merryweather, a little girl that gained all she desired but lost what she needed. Her father was just a poor man that lived on the streets begging for help, but then one day he was given a chance to make better of himself. He went to help the war and came back a wealthy man. “Ew don’t touch me booger bag this dress is made of one hundred percent pure silk, I don’t need your grubby hands messing it up.

After much yelling they finally got the right things up and I began to call daddy. Together we waited for the arrival of my guests to come and with them the many gifts the have to bring. We waited and waited but after half an hour my dad left to go work on stuff. It was 2 hours after the party was meant to start and no one had come, I could feel my lip start to quiver as a few tears ran down my cheeks and fell onto my sparkly black high heel designer shoes. After 10 minutes of sobbing my eyes out my sadness turned into rage and I stormed outside to find out why no one came.

At the beginning of this assignment, I choose inner city culture because I was under the impression that I knew at least a little about it. I live in the suburbs of Chicago, and my parents have often worked in the inner city, and so I have heard many stories. However, completing this project has shown me how little I know about other cultures, and how important it is to research before meeting a client. To begin, I have often been told that violence and poverty in the inner city are partially caused by bad parenting and drugs.
