How does Oscar Acosta change his language throughout the novel.

Acosta's choice of language used in referring to the police and judges and others illustrates his anger and hatred, and the voice takes a little getting used to on the part of the reader. Even though Brown was a lawyer, he was just as radical as the Chicano Militants, and at several points in the book refers to himself as a revolutionary. The subjective tone of the book adds to the realism of the book and the conditions in East Los Angeles.
