4th Hour Raprich Essay
• Intro-The flash of a strangely contorted hand
is a message. The show of a color, fires
warning, or welcome. Gangs exist all over the
country and really, in some fashion, all over
the world. Often gang members have loyalties
to one another that go beyond typical
friendships. Thesis- While most people believe
that gangs are bothersome and even
dangerous, their members find a sense of
belonging, protection, and family in them.
1st Body Paragraph
• If you have ever been in the wrong place at the
wrong time, you may have experienced the
feeling that you are in some one else’s territory.
You do not belong, and they do. The members of
gangs claim territory and only “those who
belong” are welcome. If you are not one of
“them,” you might be in danger. The risk could be
simply bullying or harassment until you leave. It
could be a physical altercation, or it could mean
your life is in danger.
2nd Paragraph
• If you are a member of a gang, however, you
are of course welcome in the gang’s territory;
you belong there. Often times, gangs are
made up of youth who have the desire to fit in
and that desire is not being met at home. The
average gang member’s family is usually
lacking one or both parents and the financial
ability to maintain frequent family gatherings
and therefore relationships.
3rd
• While the responsible party in the family,
often times a single and poverty-stricken
mother or grandparent, is trying to do their
best to support the family, the teens and
young adults are left to find the emotional
support and wellbeing that they desperately
crave.
