And the author mainly included these stories filled with different names to represent and play a role in each hiker's life and show how each of these individuals had a life.]]> 2022-03-02 16:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sgarcia1124_2/nurzebvbpve0duoz/wish/2073940662 sgarcia1124_2 https://padlet.com/sgarcia1124_2/nurzebvbpve0duoz/wish/2076222334 In this chapter, we're told how the story went down from different angles and perspectives. On Mendez's side of the story, he described himself as a savior that tried to help the walkers by "going for water," and that the walkers voluntarily gave him "donations." On the other side, the walkers described the event as Mendez demanding three times the amount that he said that he had received and that he left them dead without money. And in the US records, Mendez kept trying to differentiate himself from the walkers to the point where he called them "illegals."]]> 2022-03-03 16:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sgarcia1124_2/nurzebvbpve0duoz/wish/2076222334 sgarcia1124_2 https://padlet.com/sgarcia1124_2/nurzebvbpve0duoz/wish/2078215206 In this chapter we're described how the men saw a Migra vehicle in the distance, and how desperately they walked down a peak of a mountain.

The Mendez court case was based on how Mendez would plead his case about being innocent, and how he didn't say a peep about the higher ups in the organization.
