New York is a nice place, but for some, more risks are shown to them. Young boys, children, from rough backgrounds, face a danger that others don’t. Boys face the risk of becoming something worse in a place that is supposed to make them better, facing bigger problems in the prejudice world. If these boys are to take a risk, or even a chance, they have all the odds against them. Because of not who they are, but of what they are seen as. Making these young boys, boys that did nothing, are made into what they are seen as. This is what Rios is saying about the lives of young boys in New York.

At that time, his kind of literature was not popular, the Gothic movement started in England and it was brought to America by him.

He introduced the idea of short stories, he argued that a story was meant to be read at one sitting. </span>
An example of a simile was " Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head"
