Kenneth,The chapter "Que Viva Chango" is ultimately foreshadowing the characters and the situation the story will present. "Que Viva Chango" translates to "Long Live Chango". In the chapter, Chango is a ancient deity, who is prescribed and communicated through Dona Ramonita. Chango is a major part of the book and is foreshadowing the one of the main conflicts, much like any other chapter.

Bodega wants to meet Vera and ask her to marry him and take her back from her husband. He had lost her to Vera's rich husband in the past because he didn’t have what she wanted. Bodega said that “she didn’t care if I didn't have any money. The problem was, she said, I didn’t have any vision of how to get it.” Her husband had the only thing Bodega didn't have: stability. Money brings stability, and he was too busy focusing on the Young Lords movement to care about money. Vera was also facing pressure from her mother to marry her now husband, who has plenty of money. This left Bodega heartbroken and even Vera as well because they loved each other. During the mist of his conversation with Julio, Julio mentions Vera's intentions with marrying her rich husband and then realizes that he “had hit a nerve. Veronica was something sacred.” Bodega is still hung up about Vera despite her already being married, and he still wants to pursue her after all this time being apart from each other.

We are introduced to Negra in this chapter. She is the sister of Blanca. She threw a knife at her husband, Victor because she suspects he's cheating on him. Negra is important to the story as she knows what's going on in the streets and a major information holder. We know this through the history of Popcorn; nobody knew who killed Popcorn until Negra told the entire neighborhood. She is indirectly described as knowing and a little unhinged for throwing a knife at her husband. Speaking of her husband, Victor is introduced to the story by the fight with Negra. He was stabbed by her because Negra thinks he's cheating on her (which he is) because he went to go see a movie he was supposed to see with Negra.

The major characters in chapter 5 are: Julio, Blanca, Negra, Vera, and the unborn child of Julio and Blanca. Julio, Blanca, Negra, and the unborn baby are major characters since they’re discussing their future and their baby’s name as it states, “I never really liked your name, but now I kind of like it. What do you think about naming the baby Julio?” “Whatever you want, Blanca.” “I like it,” she said, turning around, placing her full stomach close to me. “I’d like it to have your name if it’s a big and my sister’s name if it’s a girl.” “Why I like your name, Nancy,” I said, and she giggled” (Quiñonez 44-45). Julio, Blanca, and Negra are all major characters in this chapter as they are deciding whose name to use for the unborn child. Furthermore, Vera is a major character in the chapter as Chino had proposed the idea of naming their child after her, which piqued Blanca's interest about her as it states, "Tell me more about Veronica and the street activist" (Quiñonez 46). Vera is an important character to the chapter as she has impacted both Blanca and Julio to possibly name their child after her.

Taiyeba Tajzi- This chapter mentions how Negra acts and her actions. At the start of the round, Negra has just stabbed her husband because she suspects him of cheating on her. Additionally, this connects to what we previously learned about Negra because she was described as a feisty, devilish lady who wasn't as good and innocent as Blanca. In other words, Negra wasn't scared to act up when she suspected her husband of cheating, which he was. We later find out that he was, in fact, cheating on her.
