Always Running Summary
In Los Angeles, California there are more than 450 active gangs made up of different races. In 2005 LA had 600 members that were white and only 11 gangs is from. But in LA there are 21,790 members that are Hispanics and there are 264 gangs made up by Hispanics. The title of my main work is Always Running by Luis J. Rodriguez is about the gang in La and he lives in a struggle environment, racism occurs in his lifetime. Despite the school board’s recent sentiments regarding the lack of value that fiction provides, fiction should remain in the school’s curriculum due to teach students to have their mind open to other things and have different perspectives. If they take fiction books away, they will just give us autobiography books which would give students a perspective that would not allow them to think more in depth. First, We need fiction books to tell us how other books tell us what other people think of how society looks into their eyes. In some books like the Giver is about a society that doesn't include emotions that it's prohibited in their system.“If you keep hanging out with them, you can say goodbye to me forever.” Socorro said.(pg.45) Socorro is Luis friend and he is telling Luis to not hang around with those gang members. …show more content…
Luis book is a message to not be affiliated with gangs and members in which Socorro would not speak to Luis if he was to be in a gang. In LA there are more than 450 active gangs are mostly of them are Hispanics. In Always running there are gangs and racism that occurs in Luis lifetime. In this year there are active gangs in La and their are mainly Hispanics there are about 600 members in LA and there are 264 gangs of them.

Mendoza articulated the story of how he rose through the ranks and how he’d eventually escape from the Nuestra Familia’s control.

    The book is a collection of stories that Fr. Boyle experienced or heard during his time with Homeboy Industries. He explicitly tells in the Preface he does not want the book to be a memoir or a “How to deal with gangs” book. Rather, his intentions are clear in the title of the book: to show the power of boundless compassion he experienced and displayed. Through a series of stories of the youth he took care of, troubles he faced from the neighborhood and local authorities, the impact he and Homeboy Industries have created, and the deaths of people close to him, Fr. Boyle wants to cause the readers to feel sympathy and urgency for not only the situation in Los Angeles, but also similar situations near us.…

    From growing up in gangs, to suffering withdrawals from his drug addictions, as well as being in and out of jail, he made it his life’s mission to turn his life around for not only his children, but for himself. “There are choices you have to make not just once, but every time they come up”, as quoted in Always Running. Luis is a depiction of proof that it is possible for anyone to turn their life around, but you cannot just dream of it, you have to have the courage and determination to continually work for it. For the past forty years, Luis has been an influential gang intervention and prevention leader in both Los Angeles and Chicago. Recently, in 2012, he partook on the Transnational Advisory Group in Support of the Peace Process in El Salvador to bravely approach, offer his recommendations to assist a “gang-led peace 2012 gang-led peace truce between MS-13 and 18th Street leaders that had international ramifications” (http://www.luisjrodriguez.com/history). Today, Luis is named the 2014 Los Angeles Poet Laureate and of course, he will leave a legacy as a major figure in contemporary Chicano literature. He has written a total of fifteen books “and was ranked number 63 on the American Library Associations’ "Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books: 2000-2009" list” (http://ballotpedia.org/Luis_Rodriguez). His writings have appeared in the Los Angeles and New York Times, Poets and Writers, and the Huffington Post just to name a few. His best-selling book Always Running has sold approximately half a million copies by 2014 and has benefitted his life in more ways than one; for starters, it helped him turn away from his drinking habits. Although Always Running was written in desperation to direct his son onto the right path, Luis realized that this was the book that eventually saved his own life. The position Luis grew up in and the…

One of his first documentaries is the Book called “Always Running La Vida Loca: Gang days in L.A”. The book narrows the struggles of the author during his childhood and adolescences in the active life of a gang member and of Chicano race. The author’s motivation to write many of the books he has written were his own experiences as a child he wanted other people to know and see the reality of the world they live in.

    A trashy and racist book wouldn't be allowed in classrooms. The novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, is receiving negative attention. The dominant problem that students, parents, teachers, and even professors, face , is the usage of the n-word. After reading this adventurous story, it is hard to find the problem that is upsetting many people. Therefore, this incredible novel should continue to be in the high school curriculum because it offers students a realistic historical background, it receives numerous positive reactions, and the meaning of the word nigger, (referred to as the n-word) is changing over time.…

    Across America today there are thousands of books that have been banned because of controversial topics tat parents may not want their kids to be exposed to. Within those thousands of books there is one in particular that stands out the most, which is “Always Running” by Luis Rodriguez; with its explicit language, sexual descriptions, and gang warfare, interprets exactly how life on the streets of East L.A does not always have to result in a deceitful ending. Although many authorities figures despise his book and accept that it should be banned in high schools, I beg to differ and conclude that it should be available to high school sophomore, junior, and senior students because it would allow them to see the struggle he survived and the passion he has for life. His story will and has already opened their eyes and will bring awareness to them and the effects of gang life.…

    As a Bay Area resident for all my life, chapter 5 from Victor Rios’ Punished resonates with me a lot. I often praise the charter school that I went to because of the academic success I gained from it. However, the ninth grade was a time when I noticed a lot of students of minority ethnic backgrounds struggling with school enforcement. My high school did not have school resource officers (SROs), but there was a dean and vice principal who acted as that authority. This was because it was a small school; the graduating class consisted of one-hundred students. I believe that it was mainly African Americans or Latinos, as these racial backgrounds formed a majority of the school, who were caught up in trying to resist against what they perceived…

    Gangs are nothing new to American society, what is new and disturbing is the recent spike in juvenile crimes with reported ties to certain gangs. Youth gangs have been prevalent in schools in large cities since the 1970 's. However, they have become even more prevalent in schools in the recent past. In the student survey component of the 1995 National Crime Victimization Survey, more than one third (37%) of the students reported gangs at their schools and the percentage of students reporting the presence of gangs at their schools nearly doubled between 1989 and 1995, and then decreased in 1999, according to a more conservative measure.…

    Freedom Writers Review

    The movie “The Freedom Writers” is based on the true story of Erin Gruwell’s English classes at Wilson High, an integrated school with students of all racial and cultural backgrounds. As a new teacher she is given the lowest achieving students. For safety and belonging most of these students belong to racial gangs and bring this social concept into the class by sitting in racial arrangements. Their morals and self concept are defined by these gangs, as shown by Eva’s statement of “we protect our own” and Andre’s comment about how his brother taught him to do anything it takes to survive. They have the ability to learn, but they do not see how school based knowledge fits their world. These kids are given negative labels like losers and non achievers; nothing is expected from them and they do not disappoint. Lacking the socialization that usually occurs by this age they are disruptive, rude show no respect for Gruwell. Her lesson plans fail. The staff are not supportive telling her to just push them through. The kids know this is how they are perceived as is shown by the student who says no one stopped him getting this far without trying. We see attribution theory at work when the kids label white people as having it easy, I think her difficulty with the administration actually helps her model the opposite, because she must work to achieve.…

    In these lines from Derek Walcott’s “A Far Cry from Africa,” the speaker emphasizes the natural human tendencies to “inflict pain.” Similarly, in his poem, “Sympathy,” Paul Dunbar explores pain from the point of view of a bird being trapped in a cage. It flaps its wings and tries to escape but it cannot. The bird symbolizes an African American bound by slavery and unable to escape. On the other hand, in Claude McKay’s poem “The Harlem Dancer,” the dancer feels as if she is a slave to working in prostitution because she is being forced to do something she does not enjoy. The relationship between these three poems is the human nature of man to “inflict pain” on others by conquering and overthrowing the weak and powerless. This concept is survival of the fittest.…
