Quotes:

I knew I was head over heels in love

We started meeting at prearranged times behind the dumpster in the back alley when I’d take out the garbage

Rodrigo stumbled out from behind a dumpster.

Violence will not solve anything. I said. I beg you, do not stoop to this level

My drunkle glared with a machismo stare at Geraldo

What kind of scumbag kicks a cat?

Your daughter is fooling around with a creote

Being too brown is not good thing.

My brothers were asleep, mi ama was in bed, and mi papa wasn’t home from work yet. I froze.

Coldness ran through my blood.

Next thing I knew we were off to the hospital

I still could not make it escuela.

Quotes

Maria and I became inseparable

He passed quietly in his sleep

He blew another puff

The tears fell from Maria’s eyes without her even bothering to wipe them.

Eight weeks passed as if it were one, and before I realized it was time to return home.

I wanted to hold her in my arms forever.

Locals, they don’t like pocheos messing with their women.

A gush of blood poured from his left nostril

Then more tears poured came as I kissed the baby and hugged Maria goodbye.

I’m sorry, but no id, no alcohol.

I had been wrong about Mexico.

What an amazing country.

Papi got a promotion.

Blood flowed from my nose as if I had been smashed in the face with hammer.

A fight broke out.

I look like a Mexican raccoon.

You turn your back on your culture, you disrespect your elders and you have no moral strength.
