Both HH and the brothers live in poverty, public housing(the projects), and both live in the same neighborhoods. The differences and the factors between the two groups are the way their families raise them. Do they give them hope? Do they aspire their children to do better than their parents? Do they raise they children to do the right thing(whatever the right thing means. which varies from family to family). Each group has the same opportunities. The difference is which group will utilize the opportunities to their advantage and move on to a possible career that they can live with the rest of their lives.
