Dede is pulled between two allegiances--one to her husband, and one to her sisters. Who does she side with? Why? In 1994, as she remembers this story, how does she feel about this decision?
"I got braver like a crab going sideways" (pg 154) this quote grab my attention because a crab will get really hard nd will attack their enemy. it made me visualize that patria will do this acting like a crab. As i read the novel i see that the characters are changing valeria Rico
Dede sides with her husband but she’s only really using that excuse as a crutch because she’s afraid and she knows it (which is why she’s so upset with herself. “I looked out the spider webbed window of the bullet-riddled car at brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, one and all, my human family.” (162) I chose this quote because in this scene Patria reaches a turning point in which she ends up becoming part of the resistance. This is the moment when she realizes that she can no longer ignore what’s going on in her country.
