City of Angels Prompt

Use a character to reveal the writer's feelings about a place or a group of people. The goal of the writing assignment is humorous writing. Think "City of Angels."
The idea is the character is like a fish out of water, and through them being out of place, you reveal what it would be like to be in place.
3-5 pages, due Wednesday.
