tale of two families

The tale of two families story was very interesting. I found the difference between the gentlemen were basically differences in family issues and background. How each individual was raised made the outcome of the their lives and situations very clear. The gentleman from the white family had more of a family backing. His father used his resources and past endeavors to make a good life for himself and his family. He made sure to set his family up for the future and made sure they went to good colleges to ensure that he will also have a good life. We also have to consider the times when these situations happened. At the time black families didn't have the same opportunity's as white families and had to take the jobs they were given. The black gentleman(Byron) had tougher time getting ahead in his life. He bought a house alot later than the white gentleman(Max) and it was a condo unlike the other mans actual house. Byron's father didn't have the same background or upbringing as Max, his father couldn't afford the same things that Max's father could afford or even do. This tale of two families was the perfect example of how children raised in the same neighborhood can have very different outcomes in life. I hope the story is an eyeopener to many individuals and parents. It shows how important the ways we raise our children are and how important it is to try and make good lives for our children while they are young, setting them up for the future is a key to their success.
