"The East London Advertiser, which was packed with news of contract killings, gruesome murders, rapes, muggings and armed robberies." (p. 85, ll. 38-40)

2. "Abdul-Haq also showed me the latest statistics on poverty, education, and unemployment for the area. They were some of the worst for any inner city borough in Britain." (p. 86, ll. 1-3)

We chose this picture, because it represents the poverty and environment in many places such as East End. Here poverty has lead to criminal activity, which you can see in the quotes above. ]]> 2020-06-24 13:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kjeldtoft/pfo0yq47eh7apw6y/wish/638782682 https://padlet.com/kjeldtoft/pfo0yq47eh7apw6y/wish/638782684 2020-06-24 13:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kjeldtoft/pfo0yq47eh7apw6y/wish/638782684 https://padlet.com/kjeldtoft/pfo0yq47eh7apw6y/wish/638782686 2020-06-24 13:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kjeldtoft/pfo0yq47eh7apw6y/wish/638782686 https://padlet.com/kjeldtoft/pfo0yq47eh7apw6y/wish/638782687 2020-06-24 13:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kjeldtoft/pfo0yq47eh7apw6y/wish/638782687 https://padlet.com/kjeldtoft/pfo0yq47eh7apw6y/wish/638782688 He has travelled a lot, and now he has gone home.

Even though the café is in London, it is not in the modern and new area, but in East End.

(p. 82, ll. 27-28): "In the window sat a pair of dusty brass samovars"
(p. 82, ll. 26-27): "Photographs of the city's famous landmarks, including the fort and Kim's gun, hang on the wall."
