Summary: Juther Alfredo Perez

Raul Salazar is a fourth grade student who transferred from a small private school to a large public school; he was referred to the school’s multidisciplinary team due to concerns regarding his difficulties in school and his home life.

Situated oftentimes between violence and death, being recruited in this criminal lifestyle is a risk that these young adults take everyday. However, for these members, gangs offer a second family, a reliable family, many of them come from broken homes or are seeking the stability found in a family unit.. This is one of the main reasons why the youth are drawn to gangs. Take it from Juan Carlos Lopez known as “Spanky” from “G-Dog and the Homeboys” by, Celeste Fremon. His life is no different from the people who decide to join a gang. He was a runaway teen at the age of

Prior to being assigned the reading of the memoir “Always Running”, by Luis Rodriguez, I had never given much thought on juveniles involved in gang life. Rodriguez achieved success as an award-winning poet; sure the streets would no longer haunt him - until his own son joined a gang. Rodriguez fought for his child by telling his own story in the vivid memoir, “Always Running.” “Always Running” is the compilation of events Luis experienced during his youth in San Gabriel. The theme of the book is to always strive for the best things in life and to always take a stand for what you believe. Lured by the seemingly invincible gang culture of East L.A., he witnessed countless shootings and beatings, as well as senseless acts of street crime against his friends and family members. As a Latino in a poor neighborhood, Luis struggled through criticism, stereotypes, and mistreatment. With the help of his mentor, Chente, Luis saw a way out through education and the power of word to successfully break free from years of violence and desperation.

In Always Running, Luis J. Rodriguez recalls his time growing up in Los Angeles during the 60s and 70s. Rodriguez writes of the hardships that his family had first encountered while trying to assimilate into American society and how he would often, while growing up, be criminalized by his teachers, law enforcement, other people, his peers, his community, and eventually people who cared most for him. Rodriguez recalls the times where he and some friends came together and created a family, a brotherhood of sort, in order to fulfill his need of belonging, but as other people in the community had also formed groups to consolidate power, thus marked the beginning of rivalry and the introduction of gangs. Rodriguez’s gang life had been filled with tragedies and filled with great times, but ultimately he tried to leave the life of crime and commit to an education. Rodriguez tried stepping away from the gang lifestyle by going to school and writing poetry, but ended up back in the life of crime after a serious altercation with the police. When Rodriguez went back to his gang lifestyle, he found the same gang that treated him as a brother, had shunned him away after Rodriguez had offered a solution to wither away the gang violence.

The star third-baseman, the man with the incredible swing, and the quarter billion dollar man. All these things can be used to describe Alex Rodriguez but now you can add cheater, liar, and drug abuser. Alex Rodriguez, also known as A-Rod, has been involved in an investigation going on for over a year about his use of performance-enhancing steroids.

There are millions of undocumented immigrants living here in America. Jose Antonio Vargas is one of them. Because Vargas’s family sent him here at age 12 with fake documents, there is nothing he can do about his illegal status if he wants to stay. After finding out his papers were fake, he has looked for a path to citizenship but has found no viable solution. My evaluation is while he is not legally an American, he pays taxes, grew up in the School System, and has completely immersed himself into our culture with a love for the country. By definition, then, he is an American.

Who is willing to die just to be part of gang? In the book Always Running by Luis J. Rodriguez, the author tells a true about his past and how he was involved in gangs and a lot of violence during the time. Once Luis joined the gang, the leader forced him to commit terrible crimes that harmed not just other people, but himself. I believe that gangs and violence should be discontinued because they cause a rift in communities. For example, Luis loses a lot of his friends due to the brutality that he played part in. Eventually, Luis had the chance to escape the affiliation because he was shot by their rival gang known as The Thamos. Surprisingly, Luis survived the attack and he went forth with changing his life by becoming a journalist and getting

What I feel about Jose Angel’s presentation is that he was brave to share his story that is a common issue to face in America. This was nice book to be written and how many obstacles does he go through. The tenor of the presentation showed that it is right to step up to say your story. Even though he is still undocumented, he is still able to step up and show to the world that it takes effort to achieve one dream. He did not start off easy and had many challenges to face as well as receiving opportunities. His book has been written from diverse backgrounds, which makes the tone different because it was written from several locations, and how he was feeling at that time.

Alejandro C. is a 36-month-old Hispanic male who was placed in foster care after being taken from his mother, Ms. C.

After DeLuna’s trial, prosecutors told the jury that police had looked for Carlos Hernandez but said he was not a real person, and had been a fabrication made up by DeLuna. However, four years after DeLuna was executed, a private investigator was hired to look for a trace of Hernandez. After just one day of investigating, it was found that Carlos Hernandez was indeed a real person, and not just a fabrication. Hernandez was an alcoholic and always carried around a certain type of knife; a buck knife. Throughout his life he was arrested thirty-nine times, thirteen times for carrying a knife and had been on parole for most of his life. Hernandez was also known for his violence against women. In 1979, he was arrested twice, on the suspicion that he stabbed Dahlia Sauceda and carved an “X” into her back. Hernandez was arrested 4 years before DeLuna and once again while DeLuna was on death row. To continue, only two months before DeLuna was put to death, Hernandez was sentenced to ten years in jail for attempting to kill a woman named Dina Ybanez, with a knife. Still, not one person thought to alert the state of Texas, of this

I choose to research “El Pablo Escobar”, because his lifestyle caught my eye. I instantly caught interest in wanting to know more of what he’s like. Other people in the world think El Pablo Escobar was born from hell, I think he was a person trying to survive in this cruel world. We all do things that we’re not proud of, but that’s just the nature of life. We do unusual things that some people just don’t understand, some of us grew up poor or mentally abused in our own mind. Creates people like El Pablo Escobar who become so violent in nature, they become the wolf not the sheep. I’ll be also writing about the way he grew up to become so successful in the person he became, and the ways he gained power.
