Overall: I thought this scene was kind of confusing but the towards the end I understood it more. I believe that Henry should have gone with Alice but instead he went with Della because she gave up so much to be with him in the end. I like the end part of how everyone has a different ending of how Henry died. It seems like it could all come together someway maybe. I also believe that Henry is thankful for Alice and the lawyer he had because he they had something to do with him and the others being free.
Quote: “And that’s the perfect way to end of this play – happy ending y todo.
But life aint that way Hank.
The barrio’s still out there, waiting and wanting.
The cops are still tracking us down like dogs.
The gangs are still killing each other,
Families are barely surviving,
And there in your own backyard . . . life goes on .” pg. 88
Response: The Pachuco was explaining to Hank that just because you are free doesn’t mean you are free. For a while I was confused but I understand where he is coming from. The police are still looking for his type of people and they are watching your every move. They are waiting to see if you mess up again and can they throw you under the jail again. He is also saying that just because you went to jail for murdering a gang member the killing has not stopped. There people still out killing each there as we speak rite now. This is serious because just because the war is over doesn’t mean everything is all-cool. That’s just the way life is.
Question: Why did Della assume that Henry wanted her after he came out of prison?
