notebooks of a chile verde smuggler

p.56-80

-"get horny with the wrong images, pull weeds with my tongue out, revive lenny bruce, carve llotto numbers on soap,..."

-i chose this quote on page 61, not because i found it interesting, but more because it didn't make much sens to me. the title of this page is: things religion makes me do. i didn't understand how that had to do with what it says afterwards. i believe in this case, it doesn't talk about the normal religion that an everyday person follows but somethign out of the ordinary. towards the end, i think it's trying to show that religion is somethign that won't let you do everything you want. so its liek if you weren' free.

-"...i didn't know if she was watching for tex, the mixed dog, to eat the laundry or if she was going higher up, over the houses, the moving sky, torn clouds going west away from all the chavitos with peanut butter on their faces, far from the clap of dust, trastes, pink erasers, a kitchen table, beaten with hours, with pencils."

-this quote makes me think that all he is doing is looking outside the box. the way he wrote this, seems liek he is trying to imagine what she is seeing up in the clouds or it could simply be some random words put together. it shows that he doesn't jsut look at the obvious of the women looking out the window, but actually thinks more then that and even tries to see what she is seeing. this is a quote that doesn't end. it finishes this way and you don't know what happens which means that it lets you think what ever you want after. i personnaly think that he wonders so much about what she is looking at because he wants her to be looking at him because he likes her.
