POV quote: "Delaney was angry suddenly, angry, for the second time that day, burning, furious. Why wouldn't people listen? Didn't they know what this means, treating carnivores like ducks in the park?" (45).
Flipped POV- they were only trying to do what they thought was right by feeding them. They meant no harm. ]]> 2016-09-22 20:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/125872326 Question Kristin 19hatink https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/125873788 Why did the man run out in the first place? ]]> 2016-09-22 21:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/125873788 Question Kristin 19hatink https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/125873840 MexicanIs the trying to hide from anyone? ]]> 2016-09-22 21:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/125873840 Pages 62-76 kristin 19hatink https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/125874075 Delaney- upset "he tried to nuzzle up against her but she pushed him impatiently away" 67

Of 78-9]]> 2016-09-22 21:04:25 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/125874108 Pages 97-119-Kristin 19hatink https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/129368768 "'The ones coming in through the Tortilla Curtain down there, those are the ones that are killing us. They're peasants, my friend. No education, no resources, no skills - all they've got to offer is a strong back, and the irony is we need fewer and fewer strong backs every day because we've got robotics and computers and farm machinery that can do the labor of a hundred men at a fraction of the cost.'"

They would have money to eat, but hadn't earned it. No: a 17 year old village girl had earned it, and at what price?" pg 122]]> 2016-10-09 22:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/129368987 Pages 142-165-Kristin 19hatink https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/129369062 "We cannot eradicate the coyote, nor can we fence him out, not even with eight feet of chain link, as this sad but wiser pilgrim can attest. Respect him as the wild predator he is, keep your children and pets inside, leave no food source, however, negligible, where he can access it...The coyotes keep coming, breeding up to fill in the gaps, moving in where the living is easy. They are cunning, versatile, hungry, and unstoppable."

That is, you present a solid unbreachable surface, you show nothing, neither fear not despair, and you protect the inner fortress of yourself from all comers."

Blood trickled steadily from the corner of his mouth, camoflauged by his mustache."
Flipped POV: The man was only trying to get back to his camp. That's why he had the tortillas because he was coming back from the store. He wasn't trying to commit suicide. 
Obvious Interpretive Question: Why didn't the man want to see a doctor?]]> 2016-10-12 02:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130014285 Chapter 2: Page 17 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130014643 "And then that pink-faced gabacho nose and the little lawyer glasses clenched over the bridge of it."
Flipped POV: To be fair, it was not Delaneys intention to run him over. He was just trying to get home. 
Interpretive question: What would Delaneys thought of Mexicans be if he hadn't run over one?]]> 2016-10-12 02:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130014643 Chapter 3: Page 37 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130014975 "He flung open the door and shot through the courtyard, head down, rounding the corner of the house just in time to see a dun-colored blur scaling the six foot chainlink  dense with a tense white form clamped in its jaws."
Delaneys POV: He was only going after this dog for Kyra. He wanted to please Kyra. Otherwise, he probably would have just gone after the dog but not look as thoroughly. 
Interpretive question: How would Delaney feel about this if Kyra wasn't in his life?]]> 2016-10-12 02:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130014975 Chapter 4: Page 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130015423 "América sat in the shade of the wall-less shelter the gringos had built to keep he itinerant job seekers out of the sun and brooded about Cándido. He was too stubborn to think she could help."
Cándido's POV: He feels as if he needs to be the breadwinner. And besides, she's pregnant and he wants to keep her safe and would rather work so she wouldn't have to. 
Interpretive question: Would América had ever come to America if it weren't for Cándido]]> 2016-10-12 02:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130015423 Chapter 5: Page 76 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130015822 "Late morning, the house silent, light muted, telephone off the hook. Delaney sat in his office, a converted bedroom fitted out with desk, couch and filing cabinets, leaning into a pool of artificial light while the sun cut precise slashes between the slats of the drawn blinds. 
My POV: I'd be too distracted by all that stuff happening in that room to be able to write anything. 
Interpretive Question: Does Delaney have any other job?]]> 2016-10-12 02:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130015822 Chapter 6: Page 80 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130016676 "The beans were gone, the tortillas, the lard, the last few grains of rice. And what were they going to eat - grass? Like the cows?" 
Flipped POV: the Mexicans are scrub. This is a sign that they should go home. 
Interpretive question: How many Mexican immigrants have died for the same reason? (In real life).]]> 2016-10-12 03:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130016676 Chapter 7: Page 99 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130017050 "You can't stay." (Delaney)
"I don't want to go." (Jordan)
"You have to go."
"Mom will be home in a minute." 
"Get in the car."
Flipped POV (as well as mine): This kid is a flipping brat. 
Interpretive question: how would Hordan survive without video games?]]> 2016-10-12 03:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130017050 Chapter 8: Page 124 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130017449 "The gabachos were watching them now, from every corner of the market, dating glances at them as they hustled by their quick strides and dry-cleaned clothes, little baskets clutched to their chests, staring at a poor man and his wife as if they were diseased, as if they were assassins plotting a murder."
Flipped POV: Yes, Americans don't particularly care for illegal immigrants sneaking around in their countries and grocery stores. They're not judging but are frustrated. 
Interpretive question: what if Americans were instead trying to sneak into Mexico?]]> 2016-10-12 03:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130017449 Chapter 1; Part Two: Page 146 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130316781 "Delaney was clutching the pen like a weapon. He felt violated, taken, ripped off - and nobody batted an eyelash, happens all the time."
My POV: If this happened to me I'd actually cry. To think that they'd put so little effort into looking for it makes me mad, but then again, what would they do anyways?]]> 2016-10-13 02:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130316781 Chapter 2; Part 2: Page 169 - Zo 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130317061 "Cándido was a wall, but the wall was crumbling. He wasn't used to the North, had seen snow only twice before in his life, both times with the potatoes in Idaho, and he hated it."
Flipped POV: If you can't handle the cold, go back to your own country. 
Interpretive question: What would have Cándido done if he was deported back to Mexico?]]> 2016-10-13 02:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130317061 Chapter 3; Part 2: Page 192 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130317430 "By this time next week, the labor exchange is history."
Flipped POV: This is what the illegal immigrants rely on to stay here. Without the labor exchange, they won't be able to make the money to feed themselves, their families, won't be able to pay rent, and will ultimately doom any immigrant in the area. 
Interpretive question: How many labor exchanges are there in real life that Border Patrol doesn't know about?]]> 2016-10-13 02:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130317430 Chapter 4; Part 2: Page 202 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130317749 "When she heard the news - 'They closed down the labor exchange,' Cándido told her, his eyes defiant, spoiling for a fight - América had to struggle to keep a neutral face."
Flipped POV: If hey don't have work here then they will have no choice but to go home. It makes sense. It's fine if they're jobless. 
Interpretive question: What if this was completely flipped, and instead the labor exchange for the Americans was shut down? ]]> 2016-10-13 02:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130317749 Chapter 5; Part 2: Page 212 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130618342 "If we invade his territory, then why indeed should we be surprised when he invades ours?"
Explanation: This isn't just between Delaney and the coyote. It's a deeper meaning between Mexicans and Americans. We've invaded their land plenty before, so why wouldn't they invade ours?
Interpretive question: How close does Delaney live to a natural environment for the coyotes to live in?]]> 2016-10-13 23:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130618342 Chapter 6; Part 2: Page 225 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130621905 "What he really wanted, and he'd been after Kyra about it for the past year at least, was for her to have a baby, but she wouldn't hear of it - there was always another house to sell, another listing, another deal to close. Yes. Sure. And here he was, on his own."
My POV: I personally feel bad for Delaney here, because I've seen what the pain of divorce and lonliness can do to a person. All he wants is a kid with the person he thought he loved, and now he's finding himself in a place where he can see another relationship become the past, and his loneliness a future. 
Interpretive question: If Kyra and Delaney were to divorce, would Jordan even care?]]> 2016-10-14 00:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/130621905 Chapter 7; Part 2: Page 239 - Zoë 19broskyz https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/131657741 "Eat, mi vida. You're going to need it to keep up your strength."
América's POV: The last thing she'd want to do is eat garbage. That's what filthy, jobless, lowlife, homeless people do. Not her. Even though that's exactly what she was now.
Interpretive question: What restaurant were they at?]]> 2016-10-18 23:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/131657741 Sam  1-22 19choinieres https://padlet.com/19hatink/ahhu57b7ypyn/wish/133354153 Delaney
