His parents were together and life felt stable. Marvin’s childhood wasn’t exceptional his family wasn’t rich, but neither were they poor. Sometimes those rules landed him in extra trouble, but he had his code and he lived by it. He chose the “easy” path to make money, but still had rules that governed his choices. Marvin comes down on the good side of the street life scales. You find good people in bad situations who still try to live by a strict moral code, but you also find people willing to beg, borrow, steal, and lie just get ahead. In that way, it’s the same as the straight life. Life on the streets doesn’t always make sense.
