Always Running #1

Pg. # 23 "These were the familiar aromas: the funky earth, animal and mechanical smells which were absent from the homes my mother cleaned."
The reoccurring cliche story of the tough Mexican-American story shows its face again. I like the story , its very real. I just do not like how its so cliche, no matter what his family does it gets worse and worse. A lot of their mistakes its because of their ignorance, and its not their fault but its the truth. It's not just their ignorance either its the white people in this book who believe that , Mexicans are lesser people. It upsets me , because i believe i am just as capable as any person I've met in my life, how can they just take of this and not fight back? I don't think i can relate to this story very well because i consider myself an American of Mexican descent.   I am American, i was born in America, on American soil, my blood may be Mexican, but my soul is American.
