One major conflict in the story is in the second page of chapter two. When Luis and his friend tino trespass onto a local elementary school. they climb over the fence and start to play a half-court of basketball when they suddenly hear a yell "you boys get over here by the fence now!". Luis and Tino make a run for it then Tino climbs onto the cafeterias rooftop when suddenly he is shot by an officier and is killed lying dead less on the roof.
The second conflict is when Luis and his friend chicharron go to the beach along with several other friends. Some white officiers that where acting like teens started to talk smack to Luis and his friends. And the officiers said "well why don't you come up here and do something" Luis and his friends rush to the top of the hill and when they try to make a move on the white guys they pull out their fire arms and report themselfs as officiers and that Luis and his friends where being arrested.
The thrid conlfict was when Luis and his older brother where jumped by older teens on bikes while they where out buying supplies from the store on the otherside of the train tracks. They where told to not come to this side of the tracks again.

Great book. I really enjoyed how the Luis Rodriguez added many detailes to this book and it was so realistic. There's some who can actually relate to this book.
