                                                      Living in poverty, and slums.
   Slums are a very unhealthy way of living. Slums are where many poor people live because they don't have enough money to pay for rent in an original apartment. Also slums can be a very dangerous place to live. Althought some people just think its a normal way of living.
   Slums are a very unhealthy way of living, because of all the chemicals that might floating around. Most slums are either flooded or are buried in trash."There are public toilets and water taps, but sanitation is poor with open sewers along the alleyways." Pg7 For example The slums have very narrow alley ways so its extremely narrow. Because they have no money to make any improvements.
   Slums are where many poor people live because they don't have enough money to pay for rent in an original apartment. They have no other place to live besides the slum. "We have lots of problems because it's is not a place where you can admire to stay, my dear. You can see your self." pg.3 they have no other choice but to live in a filthy place like a slum. Some people may be living in deadly conditions with out even knowing.
   Slums can also be a very dangerous place to live because of all the chemicals that have awful odors and the people who live there don't even realize if it is dangerous or not because they are so used to it smelling like that. Not knowing what kind of oders might be dangerouse for them or any liquids.
 There for slums are everywhere especially in places you least expected. Most slums are overpopulated so the government is tearing them down and wanting to build apartments with low cost but there still wouldnt be enought room of those who lived in the slums.So they will have to find another near by slum or migrate to another place to live.
