Remembering all the boys

In the video "remembering all the boys", which we saw in the English class by Professor Aronson, the narrator talks about how she lost her brother because he was gang related(the blues), and how even though he died by his enemies(the reds) she still respects the cause of the other kids that surround him,which they were his enemies. She shares the same pain towards those other absent kids becausse she knows what it feels like to loose a family member.

We do not want to end up in the same spot as every one without making somethig of our lives.

This Narration of "remembering all the boys" makes me think about me and my life, because i've been gang related, I have been shot at, I have been around drugs, I have done stealing, and worst of all I knew what
I was doing and that it was wrong; I have homies in the graveyard and I know what it feels to loose a homie that fought for the same reason that I did, We don not really fight for a piece of land that it is not ours like people say, what we actually fight for is resect and love for what we started like a last name or something that truthly represents us as a family. But at last most of them end up in the same places and one of them is 6 feet underground in a wood box; Or in jail too.

It is incredible what she does for the other kids that died for that too; she does it because she knows what it feels like to loose someone for the reason of being born in the ghetto, with a family with those bad habits, gang related, or perhaps say in the wrong side of the city. mostly of the time kids join gangs because of something that broke their lives in a very early and sensible stage and age. I think that is funny how we all fight for decades because we can not be together or see each other as a gang member but as soon as we die we end up probably next to each other.
