The way Ishmael tells of a life of dealing with fighting and shooting relates to my universal truth because he has to make a decision of leavng or fighting. “My conception of New York City came from rap music. I envisioned it as a place where people shot each other on the street and got away with it; no one walked on the streets, rather people drove in their sports cars looking for nightclubs and for violence.” This is telling of how he left and went to New York City to get away from the fighting and it was not how he envisioned it. This quote also helps give you an idea of how he had to live. He was used to suffering and didnt think it would end. But instead of choosing to be evil or bad he chose to be good which can relate to my truth.“...Children have the resilience to outlive their sufferings, if given a chance.” This tells how many of the children where he grew up never have the chance to outlive their suffering. Although he had the chance most of them didn't. These quotes compare to my truth because in both situations he needed to chose good or bad.
