I FOUND THIS BLOG ON L.A. EASTSIDE.
THIS BLOG WAS WRITTEN BY "EL RANDOM HERO"
EL RANDOM HERO HAS MOSTLY WRITTEN ABOUT PLACES AND EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE IN THE EASTSIDE.
THIS BLOG DOESN'T HAVE A DIRECT CONNECTION TO CHAPTER 19 BUT, IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT EL RANDOM HERO AND OSCAR ZETA ACOSTA TALK ABOUT SIMILAR THINGS.
IN CHAPTER 19 O.Z. ACOSTA GIVES US QUICK FLASHBACKS ABOUT WHAT HE WENT THROUGH, HOW HE HAS GROWN, AND WHAT HE PLANS ON DOING NEXT.
ACOSTA FEELS HE IS DONE WITH THAT CHAPTER IN HIS LIFE WHICH IS WHY HE DECIDES TO MOVE TO SAN FRANCISCO.
ALTHOUGH EL RANDOM HERO DOESN'T MENTION BEING DONE WITH L.A. EASTSIDE, HE DOES EXPLAIN HOW JUST A YEAR AGO L.A. EASTSIDE WAS JUST A BABY. NOW THE BLOGGERS AS WELL AS THE WEBSITE HAVE GROWN.
WHAT I WILL REMEMBER MOST ABOUT THIS CHAPTER IS WHEN ACOSTA DESCRIBES THE FEELING OF TRIUMPH AFTER THAT BOMB GOES OFF. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS AN INNOCENT VICTIM WHO WAS KILLED, ACOSTA DOESN'T FEEL GUILTY BECAUSE IN THE LONGRUN THAT MARK IN HISTORY WILL BENEFIT MANY OTHER CHICANOS(AS).
True that
