Most of the action is set in the time of Steinbeck's own late teenage and young adult years, shortly after World War I. Danny's house, and Danny's friends, Steinbeck compares to the Round Table, and the Knights of the Round Table. The central character Danny inherits two houses from his grandfather where he and his friends go to live. Steinbeck later returned to some of the panhandling locals of Monterey (though not the Mexican paisanos of the Flat) in his novel Cannery Row (1945).Ībove the town of Monterey on the California coast lies the shabby district of Tortilla Flat, inhabited by a loose gang of jobless locals of Mexican-Indian- Spanish-Caucasian descent (who typically claim pure Spanish blood). Tortilla Flat was made into a film in 1942. The book portrays a group of 'paisanos'-literally, countrymen-a small band of errant friends enjoying life and wine in the days after the end of World War I. The novel was the author's first clear critical and commercial success. Other rivals include the Compton Varrio 124 and Compton Varrio 132.Tortilla Flat (1935) is an early John Steinbeck novel set in Monterey, California. In 2009, a member of the CV117 shot and killed a member of the Carver Park Compton Crips, after argument at a local liquor store. Main rivals of the Compton Varrio 117 are the Carver Park Compton Crips and the Barrio 13, a Latino street gang located on the East Side of South Los Angeles, California. During the early 1990’s, they adopted the Sur 13 (Sureno) like many Latino street gangs in the United States, to show their affiation with the Mexican-Mafia (prison gang). They formed on 117th Street, between Compton Ave and Wilmigtion Ave. However, this region of Compton is also claimed by the Carver Park Compton Crips, an African-American street gang.ĭespite, being on the East Side of Compton they claim South Side (South Side Compton Varrio 117) with their primary clique being the Parmelee Gangsters.
The Compton Varrio 117 (CV119) also known as the Compton Varrio 117th Street or Compton Varrio One One Seven (CV1-1-7) are a small Mexican-American street gang located on the East Side of Compton, California.
