The book “Under and alone” debates a story of law enforcement agent, William Queen, who, in 1998 indulged himself in the most dangerous undercover biker’s gang, as an agent. But later on he totally got mixed up with the gang and was become a regular member of an outlaw and violent gang. One might think, as I used to do, that there would be no contempt or rules to join a biker gang. But when I went through and read this book I came to know that the Mongol gang which was joined by Queen had proper and organized undertaking setup for joining the gang.
They have a 70-pages constitution about the joining the gang which one have to agree with before joining the gang and a three page application for the membership. Not just that they have an organized

The other interesting thing described is that members of the Mongol gang called a car as `cage` as they were bikers they love to be on bikes and feel uncomfortable in a bound vehicle. The particular dressings attired by the bikers during their drive they call as colors and never used them while in a car. William Queen used an interested word for his informants, who used to provide him the secrete and sensitive information, that is `felony stupid’, probably whenever he felt offensive by their …show more content…
The author is not the articulate type and even admitted in his book that he hates writing. I'm sure there was a ghost writer or a zealous editor has put a lot of work into turning the author's raw notes into this book. There are some chapters that skirt the edge of good writing, but most of it is simply a play-by-play account of what happened. I can't imagine what it would have been like without the ghost writer however in any case, this completely doesn't matter because the account itself is so compelling. But still that thing has somehow been shielded by the splendid level of the story. An interesting thing in the story is that when Queens mother got died all of his biker friends of Mongol biker gang offered condolence and relaxed Queen with their sympathetic words but his colleagues and friends from Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms with whom he spend so much responsible and honest time did not said even a word his mother’s death. I see it is quite hard to do his job, for which he was actually there, after such an attachment and bonding with the members. But at the end Queen preferred his ethics and morality and successfully performed the job he was assigned for, there in the Mongol
To what extent is the novel believable? Are there any parts that are difficult to believe which and why? In the book The Chrysalids it is a science fiction, there were some parts believable, especially the future people think that The Old People sent Tribulation and threw a nuclear bomb, therefore that caused genetic errors for example the humans, animals and plants had extra or slighter lesser parts. The characters were very believable how they acted and their personalities.
Not many PhD scholars or professors are able to get in a black crime neighborhood which is poor, stay for seven years and fail to answer this question: “how does it feel when a person is black and poor in addition?”Most of the studies done in this book were done in safe, sanitized ivory towers. This piece of writing portrays neoliberal capitalism on the lives of working class people among the blacks (Venkatesh, 2009). The community views government leaders such as social service workers, Chicago Housing Authority, government agencies and the police differently. Most of these government officials are perceived negatively.
While individuals who end up getting sent to prison have many issues to look forward to, one of the biggest issues they have to deal with is who or how will they get classified. While they in-processed into the jail system, the incoming inmate has to form some sort of allegiance towards their own race. Whites, hang out with whites, Hispanics with Hispanics and African Americans with African Americans. Street gang members who had issues outside of the wire fence, no longer have issues while being inside. Inmates of the same race come together as one to fight off others.
The book The Butcher’s Tale: Murder and Anti-Semitism in a German Town, written by Helmut Walser Smith, is both an investigative and reflective book. The plot of the book is taken from a real story, and personally I believe that, it is this element that had made the book easy and flowing to read. On March 11, 1900; a young Protestant male, called Ernst Winter, disappeared from a German town named Konitz (Poland today), and four days later on March 15 some parts of his body were found. The body of Ernst Winter was found bloodless and cut perfectly into pieces. The way the body was found made the citizens of Konitz believe that the murderer was a Jewish citizen.
Outlaws Motorcycle Gangs Biker gangs have become popular lately. TV shows such as Sons of Anarchy have glamorized the lifestyle these groups live. More clearly they are glamorizing Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs), also known as 1%ers and motorcycle clubs (MCs). These gangs are more devious than the way they are portrayed in the media. There are several well-known gangs: Pagans, Hells Angels, Banditos, Iron Cross, Mongols, Wind Walkers, and Outlaws.
Also ”gangs offer protection and governance in places where established institutions fail, and that it makes sense for prisoners to join them,” (Skarbek). This is the main reason people join gangs they are forced to in order to insure their safety. The reason the leaders of the gang allow people to join and keep the safe is explained here ”Gangs can trade far more effectively than lone inmates. Prisoners listen when they threaten violence; members can ease trade from the outside after their release. Consumers, in this case buyers of drugs, benefit too.
In order for gang members to get in a gang they have to fight each other or even kill a police officers. They

The hybrid context of myth and modern technology in Midnight Robber creates possibilities of agency in physical, psychological and linguistic divergence and duality. The central trope of this agency is Tan-Tan and her “Robber Queen” persona. It is a corollary of the tale of the “Robber King” which is a classical masquerade from the Trinidad Carnival. The King would wear exaggerated robber costumes and stop people in the streets and tell them a fantastic tale in exchange for coins. The wordy tale would be about him being the son of an African prince who’d been subsequently stolen into slavery and brought to a land full of strange-looking people.
If you were ever approached by someone that you know or don’t know and they were recruiting people into their gang, all you have to simply do is just decline their request or just simply walk away. Joining a gang can lead into some serious side effects throughout your entire life. Living in this certain lifestyle can give you a higher chance of you, your family, or one of your friends, getting shot by another person. This can also lead you to go to

For example, some of the gang members would do some things just to earn the respect of some other gang member. Some people do violence in order to impress their friends or feel a sense of love from them. Some people just join to be cool or to feel a sense of sense that they don't get at home. If you ask some gang members they will tell you that they never really want to cause violence but some things
