A Brothers Murder Summary
A Brother's Murder is a powerful and good story to read. It lets you know what is really going on in troubled and not so fortunate cities. In the author's opinion, being raised in a bad area is what make young people become involved in crimes and get killed. Also, lack of trying to better themselves. Sometimes if a person don't have too much guidance in their life or just distracted by the life they are living, they will never get the chance to get out of the bad area they are used to. In my opinion, lack of education and employment opportunities is the most significant problem young people are facing. I think of most young people were in school and working they wouldn't get caught up in the street life. Working and going to school can

    Perhaps the biggest factor in why these brothers murder can be attributed to the theory of Subculture of Violence. Subculture of violence states that those who are poor or less fortunate are more likely to engage in violent acts, such as murder and rape. This is attributed to their social standing, and their inability to get out of the lower social classes. The actual cause of violence in these situations is poverty and social inequality. While the brothers are not lashing out at those who are significantly richer than them, they are lashing out at those who are more powerful than them. They are also lashing out at those who make others poor and impoverished.…

Most times when people are innocent their stories are broad, and when their guilty their stories become more complex. This shows that guilt makes people do things they typically wouldn’t…
