Road Blocks To The American Dream Classism: the Road Block to the American Dream In the heart of the Compton there lived a boy named Rafael. He is a good boy living in a bad neighborhood while surrounded by violence and drugs. His went to a school that doesn’t have enough money to fund itself. The playgrounds weren’t safe; there were no clean drinking fountains, nor any open fields to run. Christmas comes along and his family had to tell him that there would be no Christmas that year since Santa couldn’t make it (when in actuality it was because his father was fired and didn’t have enough money). By the time summer came along Rafael had to get a job washing windows to help out his family survive. Simultaneously in a place called Beverly Hills not too far away lived a boy named William. Williams’s parents were very wealthy and they sent him to the best school LA had to offer. It was a very expensive private school that offered playgrounds, after school activities, and even an outstanding curriculum (something Rafael’s school lacked). When school William was able to go to a 6-week tour vacation of Europe with the rest of his Orchestra group.
