Both stories illustrated the difference in the locations that these stories took place. Dangerous Days took place in Leimert Park. I have no idea where that is or what type of place it is but there was definitely a different feel of the way the story was portrayed. Here we have a place that seems to be mostly lower economic based families who live on the shady side of life. The gangs and their illegal trappings and the back stabbing friends that are in it for what they can get. In Silicon Alley, it is in a more prominent area where people of wealth live. We see a man of means who isn’t all that honest, but provides nicely for his wife and children. We also see that the wife has nicely planned to do away with her husband, grab the chips and go away to be with another man. Both stories involve someone getting killed, but the demographics show the wide variety of ways in which it happens. One part is down and dirty, the other is clean and controlled. I liked Dangerous days.
