Alright so in the last four posts I have walked you through the book and explained how I felt about each portion. So I'd like to take this final post to explain my final feelings and bring closure to my ideas. I'm going to start with how remarkable it was of Sudhir to do this research and to be able to write about it. I would recommend this to everyone mostly to people who are of wealth, so that they can get a glimpse of what its like to be in someone Else's shoes. Getting this inside look really changed my perception of our country as a whole and of gangs. I used to think that gangs were all bad, but after reading this I have seen the positives of them. Gangs provide security and discipline in a lot of areas that don't have a strong police force, and that are looked down upon for being of a lower class. Although that shows a strength in the gangs, it also shows a flaw in our countries criminal justice area. Living in Deerfield I am surrounded by a strong police force that makes sure that everyone is safe, but as I go to college I know that I am going to encounter areas that are not as safe as the town I live in. Seeing Sudhirs Story play out, through the different views I have been exposed to these flaws. This book to me was an eye opener, and to be honest one of the only books that I have been eager to read. I would recommend this to everyone and hope that it can open the eyes of others like it did for myself.
