The Setting Of "Thank You M'am"

Please grade me on vocabulary, and transitions.  

Did you ever live in Harlem, in the city, or in a crowded apartment? In Thank You M'am by Langston Huges, that's where this unpredictable story takes place. 

First off, this story takes place in a crazy city named, Harlem. This story took place around the 1930's-1950's. that's the time jazz was becoming very popular. it was also a very hard time to make a dollar. 

Next, living in the city can be very crazy. I know that because for me, the city in the story reminded me of where I live, in Philadelphia. a lot of things can happen in the city. You could either run into the right person, or the wrong person. So always watch your back. 

Or maybe the city's not your thing, you'd prefer a smaller place to reside. In the story Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, lives in a very overcrowded apartment. There are five plus families on the same floor. You can hear everyone, and everything that's going on in the next room.

No matter where you are living, there are always two types of people, leaders and followers. Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones was a leader by taking in the boy Roger and making a difference in his life. So be the leader, or as Ghandi said, "Be the difference you wish to see in the world."
