Prompt: "Always Running" is a coming of age story, shown through the eyes of the main character. What theme about coming of age is created by the character's thoughts and actions throughout the story?

I haven't read the book myself but things you should look out for:

1. Immaturity and Carelessness vs. Maturity and Responsibility

Learning proper actions and the consequences of their actions which could have a toll on their personality and how they act, making them realize they were making bad decisions.

2. Learning through hardship or being told

3. Experiencing turbulence in personal life such as drama

4. On and off romances and even struggles with mental health

One night, he inhales clear plastic and becomes so high that his heart seems to stop. His friend Wilo prevents him from inhaling any more of the clear plastic—an action which, Luis later realizes, probably saved his life."
