Borrego also survives from Menda's determination while Nicanor chooses to end his life because he loses faith/hope and can't go on with his guilt/regret, neither of which resulted from the desert but from within. ]]> 2018-02-01 20:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227278600 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227278798 2018-02-01 20:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227278798 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227278981 2018-02-01 20:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227278981 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279030 2018-02-01 20:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279030 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279082 2018-02-01 20:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279082 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279086 The women find faith within each other to fight injustice. ]]> 2018-02-01 20:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279086 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279212 Difficult]]> 2018-02-01 20:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279212 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279235 2018-02-01 20:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279235 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279313 Mexican American quest for personal and political liberation]]> 2018-02-01 20:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279313 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279330 2018-02-01 20:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279330 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279363 Hopeful]]> 2018-02-01 20:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279363 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227279819 The American dream is only real if you're sleeping.

For Menda, she witnesses her family's massacre the first time she crosses the river into another country, but this same river brings her back to better opportunity when she leaves Jacinto. For Celia and Dna. Encarnacion, the river is where they made love with men they loved which resulted in conceptions. Even for Nicanor and Borrego, their river is embodied in the ocean. However, the desert is desolate where no life grows and countless die. The river not only flows north but it also dries up just before one reaches north. ]]> 2018-02-02 07:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227374254 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227375729 While the present shows a sinister side of nature, the past reveals the novel's characters as being one with it. Dna. Encarnacion grew up in a forest while Nicanor and Borrego were involved in agribusiness and want to live off the land. It's only when their lives are disrupted by the economy (NAFTA) that this harmony is disrupted, leading them to La Joyita and for some, their deaths. ]]> 2018-02-02 07:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/227375729 https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/228397872 2018-02-06 00:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jhorcasi/d4kggqkr4cg0/wish/228397872
