Quote 1: " The day is coming when the world will be destroyed" "everybody is going to burned to crispy cookies"
This is an important quote because this is words coming from the little child who is very knowledge and aware of his surroundings and fearless. But i believe what he is trying to say is that way he is growing up and seeing what he sees its only a matter of time that the goverment and or the culturally powered people will help bring this world to nothing and crumble. Because they are on top and in their eyes will be good no matter what so they dont need to help out anybody which is the start of a downfall.
Quote 2: "Evil exists"
Powerful words making a strong bold statement that its almost funny that you can know there is such a pour place that exists in the US just a few blocks away from people who arent struggling and people they live their life with out a care about money. But yet their is nobody that trys to help anybody out here out all but yet they come to the bronx to dumb their trash, hand out condoms and needles and they dont even send out big magazines or new articles to them either leaving the people of the Bronx totally in the dark.
Quote 3: "Heroin's making a comeback in our neighborhood, theres something different in it from before, so its stronger and i guess more lethal"
In this quote i feel like this drug is made stronger by the government. I believe that because there is nothing good coming out from the Bronx at this time nothing beneficial at all that the government can benefit off of. this is why i believe the government is leaving in this "DOA" because ever other wrench they throw at these people like the hospitals, not reporting to distress calls, and letting crimes run easy as they do; are not enough.
Comment: After reading this article I think there was a much deeper meaning and gleam of light that was shinning on our government. Kozol was also telling us the government is the evil character hiding in the back playing dirty tricks.
