This picture of a police badge is an example of Mona becoming a police officer. Mona told her gang that she wanted to be a police officer

Mona tried to keep herself and her kids safe from her husband Frank. She also stayed away from drugs. When she was in a gang she had to keep herself safe. She was at a party and there was a drive by and she said that she felt the bullets heat on her neck and that bullet killed Oso. It made her really mad and sad and I think it taught her to not to be in a gang and that being safe is better.

Mona didn't want to take off her tattoo that said "Frank Ruiz". Mona said that it was for her son Frankie and not his father. She said that she can't separate herself from who she was before and she can't erase the things she has done wrong and their permanent. The tattoo shows where she's been and who she is.

Mona was very loyal to her husband Frank, but he wasn't. He did drugs behind her back. Frank would leave Mona home alone with their baby while he was partying with his gang. Mona trusted him and respected him and Frank didn't. Another thing about loyalty is that Mona had to be very loyal to her gang and she couldn't betray them. I think this picture really represents more of Mona and Frank's relationship.

Mona did many right and wrong things. One of the good things that she thought about doing was that she was thinking to herself that if she should stab Frank or not. She didn't do drugs because she knew it would make her go out of control.  One of the wrong things was that she stayed with Frank without thinking about her kids. She joined a gang not thinking what it would lead her to.
