1. Community: Rural/Urban and Neighborhoods Lectures – James is raised in an urban are (New York) while Ruth is raised in a rural area (Suffolk, Virginia). For this question, it is not necessary to quote specific information from the book because you should reflect on the overall story. In your opinion, does community and location influence James and Ruth? Would Ruth’s childhood have been different if raised in an urban area? Would James’ childhood have been different if raised in a rural area? In the lecture, Community: Neighborhoods, collective efficacy is addressed. In your opinion, does collective efficacy occur in James’ neighborhood? Explain your opinion. When referencing specific information from the reading, cite using page numbers.
2. Throughout chapters 19, 21, and 23, there is a description of Ruth’s relationship with Dennis and the loss of her family. Describe at least one reward and one challenge of Ruth’s relationship with Dennis. In your opinion, was having the relationship worth all of the challenges that came with it? Why or why not? When referencing specific information from the reading, cite using page numbers.
