notebooks of a chile verde smuggler

p.106-130

-"Margarita prays for her 22-year-old brother, ricky- run over, llate night, by a full truck. next to a 7/2. sometimes, froma small envellope she pulls out his broken bones, or she finds his torn fingers at the bottom of a cup of coffee."

- i found this quote rather interesting because it was very realistic, but you could easily imagine it in your head. which wasn't very pleasant. at the beginning, you can see how she must miss her brother a lot but then towards the end, she says "who are your hearoes" which means that she is happy about the death of her brother which is very unusual.

-"For years, in that shadow, she smokled and kissed a stray that crossed our window."

-in this quote, they are tallking about the mother who takes care of this cat that is always close to their house. the cat that crosses infront of the window. they say she kissed it and smoked it. it was a small quote, but it showed a lot of emotions in the paragraph and meant a lot.
