Mona said "Stoked by the drug, Frank began to hit me all the time." He would continuously hit her in front of their baby from always being on drugs. This is an example of domestic violence because he harmed her physically and mentally.  ]]> 2022-11-14 16:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/4097803/qe94idt2ww9wfj3q/wish/2383262263 4097803 https://padlet.com/4097803/qe94idt2ww9wfj3q/wish/2383274280 This picture shows two cops communicating and working together like how Mona and Marshall do since their partners.  Since they have a similar background they can relate to many things, "Marshall was like me, a "homegrown" from Santa Ana streets." 
Marshall chose Mona as a partner because he thought their mutual background would help with dealing with taggers.

Frank warned her and said, "You best respect me, women. You don't want to make me mad." It was a warning for Mona before he hit her. Machismo is all about the women not talking back to the husband and doing whatever they say. ]]> 2022-11-14 17:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/4097803/qe94idt2ww9wfj3q/wish/2383279399 4097803 https://padlet.com/4097803/qe94idt2ww9wfj3q/wish/2383281883 This picture shows a frustrated women holding a baby like how Mona would feel when the bills weren't paid and her husband would come back home drunk and had no food for her baby. 
Mona knew in her gut that he was using his money on other things "I was skeptical at first but then I noticed Frank's paycheck was no longer reduced by the amount I knew he regularly spent on drugs." That tells us how Mona's husband was wasting money on other things besides necessities. ]]> 2022-11-14 17:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/4097803/qe94idt2ww9wfj3q/wish/2383281883 4097803 https://padlet.com/4097803/qe94idt2ww9wfj3q/wish/2383291920 This picture shows a taco truck where it took place of Isela's death, she got shot in the head by a passing vehicle while dancing on a table having fun.
In Monas view, "Isela's death left me emotionally weak and pondering my own mortality. Was her murder a message for me?", reminds Mona how each death had a meaning to her. This is an example of violence because shooting is a form of harming someone. ]]> 2022-11-14 17:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/4097803/qe94idt2ww9wfj3q/wish/2383291920
