These topics are affected by the D.C. setting because there are a lot of different races and they are all sorts of them in D.C. but a lot of them have a good amount of money and the ones that don't are homeless.  the street lawyer is a good example of power because its based in the the capital of the US and it has the most power there so Michael and his workers have he most power and there trying to get the homeless a home so Michele's firm is like the government and the homeless are the people struggling in the world and the government are trying to help them survive that is how I see it.

Drake and Sweeney harass Michael by evicting more homeless people so Michael has to do more work and so its like a message like you should of never left the firm to be a street lawyer.

Michael's first couple days are way different because he is used to a big office and a nice work environment, and its different because its not the same as working at the firm the cases are different the clients are different the workers are different. 

Michael and mister are alike because they both take charge and wanted people to help out the homeless.
