REPRESENTED  

Dushane  represents  inner  city  youth  trying  to  secure  a  

future  for  themselves,  however  the  show  has  gone  down  a  stereotypical  drug  dealer  portrayal.      

Age:  We  can  tell  his  age  in  contrast  to  the  younger  character  by  the  over  the  should  shot  used  when  he  talks  to  them  about  joining  his  gang.  I  guess  between  20-­‐30  years  of  age.    

Culture:  Phrases  like  you  get  me,  oi,  and  make  paper  are  an  indicaOon  that  he  is  from  London,  and  probably  working  class  and  young  as  they  are  more  likely  to  use  colloquial  language/slang
