eventually kill a few of them. He felt with the need of doing that because he wanted to demonstrate that just because Tito is doing time that don’t necessarily means the gang is not relative no more.

In the book ¨Blood Will Tell¨ it is about a girl who is named Marianna Chavez that went missing after knocking at a friends who is Hector, who apparently wasn't home.

As the time passed Nick would vomit many times due to the incident of Marianna who got into conditional injuries. Including the choices he chose as being
In Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy describes a lawless and godless group of men ordained to cleanse the West of lesser people. This group wanders through the West leaving a trail of slaughtered people in their trail. The emptiness and ruthlessness of their hearts is reflected in the harsh and unforgiving landscape. McCarthy uses reoccurring themes of war, religion, and dance to paint a graphic picture of the savageness of life in the West.
Furthermore, the book, Youth Gangs in American Society by Randall Shelden, Sharon Tracy, and William Brown (2013) discusses several theories about why people join gangs. One theory that I think especially fits the explanation as to why people join gangs, with regards to this book, is the control/social bond theory. Shelden et al define control/social bong theory as “when a youth’s, bonds or ties, to society are weak or broken, especially with family, school and other institutions, when this occurs, a youth is apt to seek bonds with other groups, including gangs, in order to get his or her needs met”(p 193). I think so many groups in society let this boy down in My Bloody Life, including his family, the school system and even the police. Consequently with his ties to society so weak, he reached out to a gang that gave him a sense of comfort and belonging.
Bloodsworth described the torments he faced while confined in the Maryland prison. Other inmates would yell through the pipes, “were going to get you Bloodsworth and do to you what you did to that little girl” (2013). He described being confined to a very small cell, while being kept locked away in isolation. He eventually went on to become the prison librarian. In prison he would keep up a healthy habit of reading. One day he came across a book that a guard had passed along. It was titled The Blooding, by Joseph Wambaugh. It was in this book that he learned about DNA evidence being used to secure convictions. He also realized that DNA evidence could also be used as a tool to exonerate.
While most of these so-called small “groups” can usually be found hanging out around the blocks of southern Philadelphia. Even though they are not as well known as other gangs such as the ”Bloods” and the “Crips”, but they are just as dangerous. They are carrying guns and committing the same criminal acts as the other well-known gangs do.
Often times war is depicted in a victorious, triumphant manner when in reality war is chaotic; full of destruction and death. In Stephen Crane’s “A Mystery of Heroism” and Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge,” we witness the harsh reality of the war and the common human reaction to the havoc. Fred Collins simply wants water, but the well is on the other side of the battlefield. Peyton Farquhar, a loyal civilian to the South, just wanted to help in the war but instead was hanged for his good-intentioned attempt to destroy the bridge to help the Confederates. Ambrose Bierce and Stephen Crane wrote “An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge” and “A Mystery of Heroism” to show the natural human condition in adverse situations.
Socialization/pg. 67: “The process by which people learn the characteristics of their group—the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, norms, and actions thought appropriate for them.” As people were inducted into the MS13, they quickly learned- if they had not known already- that the MS13 was extremely violent. It also valued violence. As the new recruits joined in, they were quickly socialized into how the gang worked, and the values they would need to develop. The willingness to be violent that the original group had (about 3 minutes in) was quickly passed down this
The most commonly known gang in the area are the Bloods. According to many of the detectives in the office, they are the most vicious and most violent gangs they have ever encountered. State versus Gillens and Mercer are one of those encounters. The Bloods, or the United Blood Nation, was developed around 1972. The Crips were dominating the streets of L.A. and were battling with multiple street gangs. After a rumble with the street gang Pirus and murdering an L.A. Brim, the street gangs had enough of the Crip’s intimidation. They decided to unite all the street gangs which consisted of the Piru Street Boys in Compton, L.A. Brim, the Pueblos, the Bishops, Athens Park Boys, and the Denver Lanes. Soon enough they called their new gang the Bloods and took on the color red to show their opposition against the Crips (Savelli, 2002). In 1993, the Bloods made their way over to the East Coast and developed within the New York City jail system on Riker’s Island George Mochen Detention Center. It was formed as a means of protection for African American inmates from the Latin Kings (Savelli, 2002). Soon enough, the East Coast Bloods flooded out of the jail system and onto the streets of New York and New Jersey.
Like most Orange Bloods, I fondly remember my first encounter with the Texas Cowboys organization. It was an August Sunday at Darrell K Royal and it was time for Longhorn football to get underway. I spent my morning like most at the 40 acres, eating barbeque, hopping from tailgate to tailgate while feeling slightly anxious for what was to come against the tenth ranked Fighting Irish. I found my seat, enjoyed the pregame atmosphere and tried to prepare myself for what was to come. It was now time for kickoff, Mitchell Becker prepared to kick the ball off. He started into his kick and “BOOM!” Just like that, I jumped out of my seat in fear. Little did I know, I was sitting just four rows behind Smokey the Cannon.

Animal imagery is prominent in Wise Blood, primarily to show the contrast between the pursuance of spirituality and embracement of animal urges. While humans are portrayed in the novel as being animalistic, animals in the novel are typically personified and portrayed in an anthropomorphic manner. The fact that animals act like humans and vice versa shows that O’Connor is trying to make a point on the true distinction between animal and human, as well as what the implications of being human means. As animals are locked up physically in cages, some characters are figuratively locked up due to their spiritual beliefs. Ultimately, the animal imagery’s primary function in the novel is elucidate the actions of Hazel Motes and Enoch Emory in their
“We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender”(Churchill). That was a quote spoken by Winston Churchill who was a large part of World War 2. He clearly states his values in the studysync excerpt, “Blood, Toils, Tears, and Sweat.
