Based of the book, Always Running, by Luis J. Rodriguez, there are so many choices to answer about images. The passage that I chose is from the ending of pg. 37 to the top of pg. 39. This passage is about Louis coming back from a trip from Mexico and his family had agencies help them find a home that they could afford. “The living room served as sleeping quarters for my mom, sisters and dad. My brother and I had the only bedroom to ourselves, along with piles of stuffed boxes.” Quoted by Louis, he is describing what his apartment looked like. It’s a beautiful concept, because his family worked together to keep everything together.
This passage is considered important because it shows how Louis and his family are able to bare ideas together and work with each other. Even though his family doesn’t have a lot of money and the sons help pay the bills, it goes to show how the characters appreciate what they have and what is around them. Obviously, they would want a better lifestyle, but they were given what they have. An example for Louis appreciating everything is, “On hot nights, Rano and I slept outside under the openness of the desert sky. It was similar to Watts, but at least it was a home of our own again.” They haven’t been in a real home since there father moved away. They were trapped living with others and not being able to show there real selves. There just proud to being a place where they can feel comfortable at.
This passage can be proved in everyday life. As much as no one would want to believe it, it is the truth. Many people take things for granted and fight over the objects that they don’t need. This passage can be a great eye opener and could help people realize to appreciate what they have, because Louis was just happy to call such a place a home.
