Chapter 7 Blog

Chapter seven starts with a group of Chicanos fighting for their rights. During this event Luis decides to speak up and is arrested for it. Luis uses belligerent diction throughout this part of the chapter to express how aggressive the officers were and how they did not care for any other race. Words such as "gouging", "beating", "murderous" and "frenzy" are examples of these words to show the ruthlessness that the officers had. It makes you understand the segregation between the races and how Mexicans were mainly targeted by police officials.
