cities there is a dark side to a deceptive front, such as grinding poverty, harmful racism and simmering tensions that threatened the stability of the society. Natural disasters do not distinguish between the rich and the poor. The earthquake ripped houses from their foundations and the fires burned them to the ground from Chinatown to Nob Hill having the city lay in ruins.

Pitbulls.When I say this word there can be two things going on in your head. One, you're thinking of an aggressive and dangerous animal that is unpredictable or two, you are thinking of a lovable dog that is just misunderstood. These breeds have been used for many things like “bull baiting”, “rat-baiting”, and dogfighting. Pit bulls aren't as bad as they seem to be. They have a long rough history. These dogs come from two very obedient dog breeds. Some also think pitbulls may have locked jaws…

However, the third pig is still building his house, while his brothers are…

normal. Imagine meeting a well-groomed business like person that lives a similar life style to most of their neighbors. That is most likely the person to trust for business transactions. If that businessperson starts with like qualities similar to being dead like, that can make the visit very uncomfortable and untrusting (Stoker 55).
