Always Running

The book that im reading is call "Always Running" By Luis J.Rodriguez
The book focuses on the aouthor and how he grew up in the streets of California but most of the times the story happens in San Grabiel Valley and how when he lived there he was in a gang call 'Lomas' and how his life changed while growing up in the the gang life. He talks about the experiences that he went throught and all the hard things he had to see. He was telling a story that when he lived in Watts him and his brother went to buy groceries for his mom and to white kids were calling him and his brother 'rano' bad stuff and insulting them because they were mexican even thought they were born in california. That day his brother rano had cried for the very first time and rano was shamefull that he had cried because he was always the hard person in the family. Since that incident his and ranos relationship turned around and made their relationship fall apart.
