BLOG #10 
Always Running 
In Chapter 10,  Luis decides its time to move on and leave his childhood home and way of life behind (gangbanging, drugs, violence, etc.) after some "friends" shot at him for trying to make a change. He moves to Chicago and although has gangs like back home, he acknowledges the world beyond South San Gabriel.On page 244, Luis is grown with a family of his own, while at a quince he is approached by a man named Chava. While this encounter all Chava wants is revenge for what Lomas did to him but Luis knows that that will not give him the peace that he hopes to get. At that moment Luis holds him and Chava begins to break down in tears. Luis says how it was the "final tempo of the crazy life leave his body" by writing this last line he is pretty much saying how that was the end of his old life. He will never return to it that part of him was dead and will only be a memory to him now.
