Wearing a red muscle shirt and no jacket, he wore the same things as Caine. Both noticing this, they both bursted into laughter and hugged. “It’s been awhile, brother.” Reb said smiling, pulling away, he reached into his bag to pull out one of caine’s masks.
“Yes it has, Brother, You ready for school?”, putting on the mask, mentally calming down. Both walked out of the bathroom, chatting away while heading to the front office for their books and schedules. Getting what they needed they heard shouting and laughter.

“That wasn’t all of them, but they are known as Vanoss’s Crew. with nine people in total, and believe me when I tell you, They fucking piss me off!”, slamming his fist into desk and started drinking. Unfazed by his friends anger, Caine tilted his head, interested in this gang.
“Why does that name sound familiar?”
“Because they aren’t just the popular and loved group of boys in school, Caine, They're also a dangerous gang that cause havoc all around Los Santos along with two other gangs. They are praised by everyone, even the fucking teachers. Just known for destruction and misuse of explosives and guns. They own a majority of the fucking city.”
“Wait, there are other gangs?! Why haven't you told me this!?”
“Because you had to focus on that out of state private school, why tell you this irreverent shit?”
Annoyed, Cain started to pace around the empty room. He was starting to get worried, with the knowledge of other gangs roaming when he goes hunting, he could kill the wrong person and start a unneeded

There was a group known as the “Galloway Boys”, who participated in drug trafficking, gun running, and prostitution.
The police were very often seen as violent, brutal, and corrupted. The author takes it a step further to not only say that this relationship is only caused because the men are gangsters, but that they are also Mexican. There are many occasions when Rodriguez relays an account where the police call the men very racist names and act upon their beliefs in a very brutal manner. He continues this theme of social inequality as he talks about his experiences in school and his parents ' experiences in their jobs. By depicting these situations Rodriguez makes the large assumption that the main reason that gangs are so prominent is because the Mexican culture was experiencing a lack of resources and support and therefore, their youth turned to something they felt could help.
Growing older Danny starts to crave attention from Reuven, but Danny does not realize he reaches out for the wise advice of his great friend more than the friendship. Once Danny speaks to his father, “He [Reb Saunders] did not

So much chaos of loud chatted but you can’t understand any of it and then a bell rings again and it disappears in a flash. “Hey john you better get to class before the teacher gets mad” Chad yelled at a kid walking towards him.
“Round up the usual suspects and lets interrogate them. See the Madame and see if she will give me a room to talk to the errrrr ladies. If she won’t cooperate then shut the place down as a crime scene”.

When they meet at the baseball field they judge each other based on rumors they have heard or by the actions of the team. Reuven thinks of them as the “whole snooty bunch of Hasidim” (Chosen 62). Reuven thought Danny was a malicious person because he knew that Danny purposely tried to hit him. But later when Reuven opened up to Danny and stopped being so judgmental, Reuven realized that Danny was kind and just needed a friend. When Reuven is hit with the baseball, there is a chance he might be blind.
In the end, even through the rather judgmental filtration of the narrator’s view, Reb Saunders was presented as a very complex, conflicted, and multifaceted character. He represented the dangers of fanaticism and harmful isolationist behavior, but he also showed a profound, painful love for Danny and a deeply human sense of the importance of empathy and
RebSunder and Danny’s father-son relationship was not as it seemed and Danny at the end still respected his father although his father had given him the silent treatment for as long as he could recall. Reb Saunder had honourable intentions behind teaching with silence and he only wanted what deems best for Danny. On the other hand, Reuven and David Malter had a special relationship that most people would envy. They could confide in each other and had no barriers between them. Reuven could ask any thing or state his opinion and Mr. Malter would give an honest reply and helped Reuven when he could.
Silence can be excruciatingly painful to bare, but the silence can also allow one to grow and understand more than words ever would be able to bestow.
