Double Deuce Representation of the Characters
The characters from Double Duece, Spenser and Hawk are better represented from the book then the TV show because it gives more in depth detail. The first reason I believe that the book is better because it describes more detail than a TV show would. For example, in almost every scene in the book, Spenser talks about how the environment reacts around him and how he makes it descriptive. Like when he mentions in scene how the rain made Hawk's dark green Jaguar look black as it beaded out and got in his car.(Page 137) Another reason is that in this story, Spenser is also able to mention how someone else is feeling during a suspensefull moment. For example, Spenser talks about how Hawks motives are and what type of guy he is. Like in chapter 41 where they face off against Major in the stadium, Spenser describes how Hawk was relaxed and knew he wanted to kill Major.(Page 204) A final reason why the book is better is because it also gives descriptive detail about the love feelings that occured during the story. For example, the story also talks about the relationship between Spenser and Susan was getting serious. In chapter 31, Spenser talks about how he enjoyed listening to Susan on the phone. He thought it was an interesting perfomace that made him love her more (Page 149). These reasons demonstrate how the book can represent the characters deeply in detail and still keep the reader intrested in the story.

Double Duece First Person
I was in a cubicle at the Department of Youth Services, talking to a DYS caseworker named Hawk. He was a muscular man with low cut haircut and was well dressed with his clothes nicely pressed. His fully groomed beard was black and his eyes were brown. He wore black dress pants and a white shirt with a navy blue tie. "John Porter is his real name", he said. He had a huge folder open on his desk. "It sounds like a street handle but it's not. His given name is John Porter. In his first twenty years he was arrested fouty times." "When he turned twenty-one he went off the list?" I said. "He's no longer a juvenile," he said. "After that you'll have to see his probation officier or the youth gang at BPD."

Helicopter Inventor: Paul E. Williams
Paul E. Williams is the inventor of the Helicopter. It was created in 1964. Helicopters have a huge effect on popular culture. They serve as transportation for certain celebrities when appearing at a award show. For eample, when R&B singer Rihanna arrived by helicopter at the Hamptons. Also another example is, in certain movies actors also known as celebrities, use helicopters in certain scenes that include action. Finally, people use helicopters to view celebrity homes and famous areas on helicopter tours. There are many uses for the helicopter that made it a unique way of travel in the air.

Real World DC Review
I thought the show was very entertaining and shows how certain strangers can get along when having a good time. The Real World can also show how even when theres drama, theres always a way to fix it in the end. For example, the was a scene where one of the roomates has romatic feelings for one of his roomates. But she doesn't want to fall in love for someone who is immature and she didn't plan on hooking up with anyone. So they talk to each other to see how they feel about each other and seem to be just close friends at the moment. The roomates seem to live as one family and try to solve issues, even if they aren't able to fix them. Anyone can learn sometime of lesson from this show when it comes to living with others or socializing with friends. Heres a tag line from the show that I find intersting, "And Start Getting Real", that makes me think that even when your living with strangers, you should act real and not fake.
