In Tupac and D. Foster, D Foster describes her life and the effects of Tupacs's music on her life. D Foster is the main character of the book. Neeka is D Fosters best friend. Living in an Urban atmosphere is most likly a dramactic differneces then living in a suburban setting. The enviroment, living condtions, people you might interact with, and socail situations you may be involved in are certainly different then what i encountry in my day to day life. The main character , D Foster, and i live similar lives we enjoy the same type of music but i feel we encounter very different situations and problems. If i lived in Harlem i feel i would encounter a whole different life style then the one i currently live. If i were to grow up in Harlem i feel i would not be the same person i am today because i would most certainly have grown up in a different way for better or worse is impossible to determine.

D Foster is the main character of this book. The effects of his music in D Foster's life was she was Neeka D Foster's best friend She lives in an Urban atmosphere which is most likely a difference and similarity between their lives and mine. I think life would be different if I lived in Harlem becuase there were onot any houses to live in just towers and other buildings
