IRP: Prompt #15


GANGS/GANG INITIATIONS
A major turning point in the novel is when Manny is being intiated into a gang. I thought this image was a good representation of the trouble created by gangs and the horrible things that come with the committment. Specifically in the novel Manny is met with the challenge of assisting in the stealing of an old women's purse. He actually carries out this venture and feels the consequences when the police take him in for questioning. Overall, I thought this photo of the "crips" illustrates that scene and portion of the book.
