Character Analysis http://www.calstatela.edu/Common_Files/images/tattooedsoldier.gif
Antonio Bernal “You are making me homeless,” Antonio told the manager. –pg 5 The men in Antonio’s family had a genetic propensity to bouts of rage. –pg 44 The effort seemed pointless, like building a wall of sand to stop the sea. And he would have nothing to show for it but the degrading memory of having waited in line… pg. 39 Los Angeles was the problem. –pg 3
Elena Sosa “I read it every day. It’s the most practical thing anyone’s ever given me. I really do treasure it.” –pg 85 …she brought home revolutionary leaflets and left them scattered around the house… -pg. 84 “Let’s just walk a little more,” Elena said. –pg 130
Guillermo Longoria “I know what you’re like, Guillermo. Don’t wander around the market and don’t get into any trouble.” –pg. 33 Longoria had first come to this park on weekend mornings to job. –pg. 57 “Don’t play with yourselves, soldiers. It weakens the spirit. Think like warriors, not like faggots… There will be no ‘self-service’ in the barracks.” –pg. 33 Guillermo turned around and saw soldiers spilling through the doors that led to the lobby. –pg. 35 Longoria left Reginalda on the bed and went into the bathroom, where he pulled a three-foot stretch of toilet paper from the dispenser and wrapped it around the condom. –pg. 33 http://blog.bulkbeefjerky.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1292801410-88.jpg
