"My Ride, My Revolution"

The Republic of East L.A:... Luis J. Rodriguez

This memoir, through a lot of imagery and details shows that no matter where you come from that should not define who you are as a person or what you will become in the future. He also goes on this journey of trying to fit in so hard that he becomes some one else and can't fit in. Soon he gives up on trying to fit in that he doesn't care and starts to just be himself and act how he wants to. Once he does this he realizes that things become so much easier in life and his social life for him.

Thoughts and What I Learned

This blog was pretty neat because it dealt more specifically with fitting in and being yourself. What was also very interesting was that it gave me that message, be yourself and everything will start to become easier in life down the line. As for writing my personal narrative it did influence me. It influenced me by digging deep down and talk about something much more real and yet still hold that fictional line. Also because of how descriptive it was it could be easily transformed into a movie.
