Overall:The scene was very small. It was like it could have been left out except for the part about the trial being over. I feel since the war was coming to end (I think) that’s why I feel maybe they put the freedom part with this part as well. There really nothing much to say about this part because Henry is now free and can go home to his family.
Quote: "One the homefront. Americans go on with their daily lives with growing confidence and relief, as thee war pushes on toward inevitable triumph.(pause) The Los Angeles Daily News, wednesday, November 8,1944. Headline:District court of Appeals decides in Sleepy Lagoon murder case . . . boys in pachuco murder given . . ."
Respose:In the next line it says “freedom” which means that they are free due to a court appeal. It appears that the war as well is coming to end. This makes headlines because it is real important as well. This makes it seem that all the hard work that Alice and the lawyer were fighting for came in to justice. This contributes to a possible theme and a change in the ending of the story as well. It shows that there second chances in life if you just believe. Now Henry can go home and be with his family and others again.
Question: Without the appeal and the help from Alice would henry ever be able to walk free again?
