"Running"

Entering New Territories:... Juan Rodriguez

It is about Juan who enjoys running every waking minute of his life. Running is his t.v, his dream, his fantasy world. While running he is able to escape all that is bad in his life and all the filth in his community. While running though he not only sees the trash and filth but other things that we do not expect to see in the ghetto. He sees nice houses, kids laughing and playing, and the nice parks.

Thoughts and What I Learned

This story was great and it could be turned into a movie because of the language used and the scenes and images that are created when he is running. This was a good story to read and was quite interesting to read also.
