Eddie’s Journey According to Jens Manuel Krogstad from the Pew research center, only 33 percent of Hispanic high school graduates attend college compared to 42 percent of white students. Hispanic students have a less likely chance of going to college than any other race in the US. Eddie, in Muchacho by Louanne Johnson, was a Hispanic high school student in southern New Mexico, and he was one of those not on track to graduate high school. His life was on the wrong path; one that leads to drugs and prison. Eddie then meets the love of his life and goes through a rigorus journey filled with life changing decisions. Through his journey, he learns important life values that shape him into being a more nobel person.
