Summer School: Nonfiction - The Rise of Freeway Rick

Today we will watch 11:00 - 19:10 in the documentary "Crack in the System".
The documentary will show you how Rick Ross became wealthy. It also goes into the beginning of how he ran his business, and was able to stay focused and direct. People can't believe the amount of money he made, but it's true - he was seeing, at his peak, multiple millions $$ a day.

After watching 11:00 - 19:10, please answer the following 3 questions:
  1. A story has a setting, where and when it takes place. Describe the setting you see in the video. Give details about how it looks to you - the environment in which this story takes place.
  2. Ross talks in a way that is a little different than the others. What sets his character / persona apart from the other people? From what you've seen, how is it he was able to make so much money in a dangerous game? 
  3. What is the tone / mood of the story? Is it sad, happy, hopeful, instructive? ... explain how the story makes you feel.
