Alexander Amador's narrative "My Brown Eyes", is about his life as a Mexican American living in the barrio of the Eighth Street Locos 13 gang. In this narrative Alex describes how he loves his neighborhood and how the homies that live there always have his back. He then describes his family and how he shows respect to his mother by helping around the house before she gets home so she doesn't have much to do. Alex also describes how his brother has gotten into some drug problems, was put in jail and is now trying to change his life by going to college and getting a job. Alex's brother keeps asking his family to join him but they don't waont to leave the community they are used to being around.
