A Brief Summary Of Heaven By Luis

In the first chapter Luis tells the readers his harsh life in Mexico and how they moved to Los Angeles California in a city called WATTS. Across from them is a railroad and on the other side is where the white’s live. He left Mexico because his dad lost his job as principal at the school. He lost his job because he scraped the school’s fence for his family to survive another day. His mom and his dad always worked hard for all their children to be healthy. In LA they had a rough life but it was better than Mexico they swore to never go back there. Since he didn't really speak English the teacher told him to sit in the back and play with blocks till she finds out what to do with him. He got to the point where he used to pee in his pants in the
class because he didn't know how to talk English. His brother too had it hard in school, he was put in the classes with “retards” said Luis.
