The short story, The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses, relates to the essential question of ‘What are the special bands that link us to the family, friends, pets, and communities by showing how one acts when he has a family of his own. Brille acted differently because: “He had twelve children and his mind traveled back that evening through the sixteen years of bedlam in which he had lived”(Bessie Head, 76 to 77). This means since Brille has 12 children he feels he needs to stick up for the rest of the span when he dropped the cabbage. Then they were all punished: “All right.” said Hannetjie. “The whole Span goes three meals off.”(Bessie Head, 53). When the warder gave them tobacco and was caught stealing fertilizer Brille made a deal because he had a wife and children when Hannetjie could have gotten fired. Brille made a deal with Hannetjie that stated that he needed to be a good warder and Brille will make sure he keeps his job. Their exact request was: “We want a good warder because without a good warder we won’t be able to  manage the long stretch ahead.”(Bessie Head, 173 to 174). The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses relates to having bonds because people with the similar situations look out for each other because they understand.

His plan was to get a job at the censor's:"This was Juan's sound plan when he, like many others, applied for a consor's job--not because he had a calling or needed a job: no, he applied simply to intercept his own letter, a consoling but unoriginal idea"(Valenzuela, 32 to 35). Juan loved his girlfriend he was willing to risk getting in trouble to keep her safe from his letter.
