Always Running 
In chapter 7 Always Running by Luis Rodriguez, shows diction to demonstrate the significant events of the actions he makes in life, the police and his family.  Luis almost is arrested for running out on a check at a restaurant, and he explains, with the authority of personal experience, the realities of being incarcerated to the owner of the restaurant who decides against pressing charges. Luis also finds himself in jail for participation in “The National Chicano Moratorium March” against the Viet Nam War. At the same time, Luis immerses himself in involvement with the “John Fabela Youth Center” where Chente is a community organizer, and Luis, at Chente’s request, returns to high school where he becomes deeply involved in an Hispanic student organization. Luis, somewhat emulating Chente while following his own passions, begins organizing school walk-outs, demanding classes that deal with Hispanic issues at the school, and realizes a sense of identity among a community cause.
