Personal Journal "White Teeth" Parallel- Week 5

White Teeth, in compatiron to my own family, there is only one loose connection I can make to my own family. My oldest brother suddenly picked up and left the east coast and went out to California to try and start his life there. He came back to visit and suddenly had a fiance. She was from a prestigious Mexican family in Los Angeles. It was the most random thing I have ever seen happen in my family. My brother is a druggie and somehow got this attractive girl and eventually got her to move back to the east coast with him. She has all of her teeth though. He told me about when he goes to her strict Catholic family, the younger ones in the family are wannabe "Street Thugs" in LA that wear their Raider jerseys and gold chains with their "souped-Up" Honda Civics and the elders in the family are the "high-class" educated old-school latino type. And then there's my brother, an average white guy from Jersey at these family events. Kinda like the older white english gjuy with the Jamacian immigrant.
