The Cocaine Kids and Dorm Room Dealers are two very different, but yet similar books. Cocaine Kids are about a group of kids, primarily of Hispanic race, with one kid of the Black race. The kids were raised in the inner city of New York. Dorm Room Dealers are about White, middle to upper-middle class college students, who was selling drugs for their status. The purpose of this paper is to prove that there are racial disparities among drug users. There will be examples from the texts that show the different takes on the drug markets and how race plays a factor. There also will be how these experiences shape the kids drug dealing and using. The paper will conclude how all the kids either remained in the drug career or left the drug career.

Carlo Gesualdo, also known as the Prince of Venosa, was an Italian composer, lutenist, and murderer. He was born on March 30, 1566 in Venosa, Italy . His parents, Fabrizio II Gesulado and Girolama Borromeo, were feudal landowners who had quite the riches to own many palaces. In addition, he had one older brother named Luigi who died in 1584 which put a burden on Gesualdo’s shoulders because he was then responsible for the success of his family heir. In terms of his musical life, Carlo Gesualdo became interested in music when he was a young boy. He learned to sing and play the lute and harpsichord. At the age of 20, he married Donna Maria d’Avalos. Apparently, she was his cousin who had two children from two former husbands prior to marrying Carlo.
