Final Post

I thought the book was one of the best books I have read. The setting of the story enhanced the desolate conditions of Mexico also reflecting the way of life with these families. The centeral theme of God with the family made me appreiate their hope for a better life. As a person with freedoms in America we rarely appreiate the simple things in life like food. Juan's family and mother either had to steal food or beg to get food, and that food would be scraps. The book so far does not combine bith lives of Lupe and Juan but I feel that they will meet in America if Juan's family get across the border. Overall the book keeps me tuned into the sorrow the families are facing in the revolutionary Mexico.
