Eassyyy’
SOUTH CENTRAL FOR ME TODAY IS A GREAT PLACE, AND AT THE SAME TIME NOT SO GREAT. FIRST OF ALL, ITS A GREAT PLACE BECAUSE I HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT I CAN COUNT ON. I ALSO ATTEND TO A GREAT SCHOOL. THE PEOPLE AT MY SCHOOL ARE REALLY NICE AND HELPFUL. BUT THEY ARE ALSO SOME NEGATIVE THINGS IN SOUTH CENTRAL THAT I DONT LIKE AT ALL. THE GANGS AND VIOLENCE THAT HAPPENS IN SOUTH CENTRAL SOMETIMES SCARES ME A LOT. YET I THINK ITS GOOD TO SEE THESE TYPES OF THINGS HAPPEN BECAUSE I KNOW I DONT WANT TO BECOME A PERSON LIKE THAT. I WANT TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL. THE THREE MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THAT HAVE HAD THE GREATEST IMPACT ON MAKING SOUTH CENTRAL WHAT IT IS TODAY ARE WATTS RIOTS, LA RIOTS, AND IMMIGRATION.
SOUTH CENTRAL HAS CHANGED IN SO MANY WAYS. THE FIRST WAY IS BECAUSE OF THE WATTS RIOTS. THE WATTS RIOTS HELPED REBUILT NEW STORES AND HOUSES. THIS WAS A GOOD CHANGE BECAUSE THERES MANY GREAT STORES NOW THAT PROVIDE YOU WITH WHAT YOU NEED. ALSO THE HOMES GIVES A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COULD LIVE. IN THIS EVENT 34 PEOPLE DIED. ALSO THERE WAS A LOT OF DAMAGE. THE WATTS RIOTS WERE LEAD BY MARQUTTE FRYE AND HIS FAMILY BEING ARRESTED BY THE POLICE. THIS EVENT IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE LOCKE HIGH SCHOOL WAS BUILT.
THE SECOND EVENT THAT MADE SOUTH CENTRAL WHAT IT IS TODAY, IS THE LA RIOTS. IN THIS EVENT A LOT OF LIQUOR STORES WERE BURNED. THERE WAS MUCH MORE DAMAGE IN THE LA RIOTS. AND ALSO MORE DEATHS. 53 PEOPLE WERE KILLED. ITS IMPORTANT BECAUSE SOME STORES WERE BUILT. THANKS TO THAT, I CAN BUY ANY JUNK FOOD I WANT. ALSO MANY LATINOS STARTED MOVING TO SOUTH CENTRAL.
THE THIRD EVENT THAT CHANGED SOUTH CENTRAL WAS IMMIGRATION. MANY LATINOS IMMIGRATED TO THE U.S.A(SOUTH CENTRAL) FOR BETTER LIVES. THEY WANTED A BETTER FUTURE FOR THERE FAMILY. ALSO PROBABLY A BETTER EDUCATION FOR THERE KIDS. I LEARNED MORE ABOUT THIS BY WATCHING INNOCENT VOICES. IT TALKED ABOUT PEOPLE FROM EL SALVADOR IMMIGRATING TO U.S.A. I THINK THIS EVENT IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE SOUTH CENTRAL NOW IN DAYS HAS A LOT OF LATINOS WHO ARE IMMIGRANTS. SOUTH CENTRAL HAS MORE PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES. IT CAN ALSO BRING EVERYONE CLOSER BY LEARNING ABOUT THEIR CULTURES.
EACH EVENT IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT. THEY ALL HAVE HAD A GREAT IMPACT ON SOUTH CENTRAL. EVEN IF THERE WERE SOME NEGATIVE THINGS THAT HAPPENED, BUT IT STILL MADE IT THE PLACE IT IS TODAY. IN T HE FUTURE I SEE SOUTH CENTRAL AS A BETTER PLACE. MORE SCHOOLS IMPROVING AND KIDS DOING BETTER. YES, THERE WILL STILL BE VIOLENCE, GANGS, DRUGS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT THEN AGAIN THOSE THINGS NEVER END. I JUST HOPE THAT SOMEDAY SOUTH CENTRAL LOOKS AND IS MUCH BETTER THAN IT WAS A LONG TIME BEFORE.
