His stories are powerful vignettes of a subculture of urban survival. Sunny Toomer is the sort of ringleader of a group of twelve year old boys who are making an instant leap from the playtime of childhood to a life of violence and hopelessness in the ugly projects of San Pedro.

This is mainly based upon the ethnicity to which one belongs‚ the type of parents by which one is brought up‚ or the “Americanization” of parents from another culture. An individual informs others of their cultural standards through their actions‚ their initiative‚ their respect of family‚ and their futuristic thinking. These aspects build up one’s personality and lifestyle. In “Indian Father’s Plea”‚ the father desires his son to have a good

This suggests that individuals that view violent material have a tendency to seek out more violent material. Also known as cumulation

In The House on Mango Street‚ Cisneros depicts how the setting impacts the narrator by using language to show how the narrator’s surrounding influenced her desires. At first the narrator was never one to be conscious of her social status as she was happy just being able to play around but that all changed after her interaction with the nun‚ “The way she said it made me feel like nothing.
