COMMENTS:
*The character tries to commit suicide at 3:00 in the morning while everybody was sleep and he was drunk.
*His plan was to cut one of his arteries, and put his arm in a pail that he used to pee in because he didn’t want any blood in the floor.
*When Luis leaves his house, he sleeps at friends’ houses, fields, theaters, abandoned cars, and railroad tracks.
*Now the author attends to Mark Keppel High School were “anglo” and Asian are called the “A” classes separated from blue-collar students, the “C” classes, whom were pushed into industrial arts.
*The narrator learns to play the saxophone by listening to Jose Palmas who was a very distinguished musician from Las Palmas.
QUESTIONS:
*did his mom kick him out of the house or he decided to leave?
*how did he eat while he wasn’t at home or at a friend’s house?
*were the schools actually segregated for people who had bad grades or issues at home?
*how was the relationship between the character and his father after he joined the gangs?

*sultry: oppressively hot and moist.
*nostrils: either of the external openings of the nose.
*dreaded: intense fear.
LITERARY TERMS:
*Personification: “these magical fingers that could play anything from Wes Montgomery to Jeff Beck”. Page #85(the author gives the fingers a desire/ a life that only a person could do)
*Foreshadowing: when the narrator talks about all problems he is having in the streets after he left his house, we actually know that he is going to come back to home, and he does after a little time, forced by issues that he cannot deal with in the streets.
SUMMARY:
At this point, the author/character tells us about problems he is having at home, and how he even wanted to commit suicide and after that he goes away from his house, and stays at friends’ houses, abandoned cars, railroad tracks, etc. Moreover when he finally comes back to home, he learns to play the saxophone, and after that he fights with his brother Joe. In conclusion this chapter is basically telling us the issues the author is confronting at home, and also in school were the “C” classes are separated from the “A” classes.
