Blog 3 for always running

In the novel, Always Running by Luis J Rodriguez shows the segregation that was present between the minorities and the white residents in Southern California during the time of the events that take place. First, the author describes the beach that most residents in the South San Gabriel Valley as one of the ditches with running water that is underneath a bridge. As the author goes into more detail he makes the conditions sound worse as he explains. The scenery described sounds more raunchy and the people shown as uncouth. After Luis describes the Gabancho beach or the white beach which was Huntington beach. While there one of the events that took place was a fight between the "surfers" and the "homeys" which actually turned out to be one-sided as the surfers were actually cops. Then, the cops instigated the conflict and then gave them cruel and unfair treatment.
