The Tribe and Botherly Love

BLOG #1: Luis introduces us to the gangs of East L.A. On page 42, he talks about how he started his gang "The Impersonations" because him and his friend Miguel needed protection.
What are your thoughts on why people join gangs?
Create a list or write your reasons out.
Do you feel like Luis will get all the things that you listed from creating his gang and then later joining "The Tribe" with Gregorio?

Why or why not?

BLOG #2 : Luis grew up with his brother beating on him and picking on him. Rano was the trouble maker growing. However as teens, Luis feels a shift happening. Rano is doing well, playing sports and on track. Luis is joining a new gang and giving teachers hell.

Describe a relationship between you and a FRIEND or FAMILY MEMBER where you grew apart.

Who is this person? How did you meet them?
What was the relationship like before you grew apart?
How is it now?
How did you feel about the change in the relationship between you and this person?
