Lit Circle 1

Scene #1: I chose the scene where Dona guadalupe came to save her son Vicotriano from La Liebre. he was caught stealing so he was gong to be hanged. La Liebre had beat him senseless already until he was almost unconscious. She was willingto do anything even get klilled to save her baby/ with all the townspeople watching she was trying to be slick and cut the rope that tied his hands together. she had to slap him a couple of times for him to come to. she had been hiding a gun in her shaw and when the rops were cut she handed it to victoriano. she was going to leap back so he could run, La liebre seen thi and he was coming for them just as victoriano turned around he shit him right in the face! The next person who was in charge took dona Guadalupe as her son fled and the mayor to tie nooses around theyre neck. the townspeople had enough they untied to take these monsters down! They started singing and uniting and the soldiers seen they didnt have a chance! i love this scene because its graphic and it shows how hard the mexican people in that time had it and what they were willing to do for each other to save their lives. one word i would describe this as is BRAVERY. pages 86-91

sCENE #2: I chose the scene where juan is challenging his friends to who can stay the longest while the trains starts to pull away with his family his loves so dearly. He ened up losing and the train took off he was running so hard to catch it he slipped and fell and ripped his mouth open. He thought he lost his family forver. he chased the train until it was nighttime. HIs journey was a long one he thought of his older brother and cousin weho gave hime strength. and knowing his mother was on the trai up ahead somewhere he didnt give up. he walked and ran all day and night until his feet were bloody and swollen. he was so hurt and lost and pissed at himslef for the foolishness. in the middle of the night he came into a tussle with a jaguar. he heard his mothers voice call to him and say fight my son. and he did. the next morning he was half conscious and still walking not giving up. and then suddenly the train!! the train he had been looking for. he made it bloody swollen mouth ripped open he made it. i love this scene because it says a lot about juan character. not giving up and listening to his famlys words inside of him. but also learing a lesson about how foolishness can cause a lot of pain for everyone. pages 120-128
