Chapter 4 Blog

Chapter 4 starts off with a more serious topic and ends with the same topic, suicide. Luis wants to commit suicide because of everything that is going on in his life. The first time he puts a razor blade to his wrist and is about to cut his artery but realizes he is worth something. The second time he uses too much spray and dies for a quick minute. Luis deals with a lot during his younger years, from getting kicked out of his parents house to joining a gang. The pressure of it all gets to him and thinks that if he just kills himself everything will go away. Even nowadays kids deal with depression, bullying or just a lot of stress and it gets to a point where they are scared to speak up and reach out for help just like Luis is in this chapter. He prefers to try the "easy" way to get out of all his worries and problems.
