the brothers

In the last chapter we read, the Brothers future has turned out to be similar to the hallway hangers. Although they are not doing drugs, they are working in low wage jobs. SOme of them have gotten a college degree, while others have joined the army or just worked. It is interesting to see where they were at. This is because the boys had such high hopes of getting out of the ghetto. THey wanted to make a life for themselves. I am not sure if they have given up on themselves, but it seems like they have given up on trying ot make a better life for themselves. They do not try and get great jobs or persue things that they want to do. One of them wanted to be a police man, but intern is not a person working for the airlines.

I have to say that I was rooting for these boys. They were minorities trying to make a difference in thier life and also their own families life. They are not stuck in the same place that the hallway hangers are in. Although they still have a better mentaility than the hallway hangers, they are lazy and are somewhat unsuccessfull in thier persuit of having a middle class life.
