English 1 Found poem
To finish education
volunteer or do service
no way sending daughter away
revolutionaries taking care of her
indoctrinate kids
Maybe they’ll excuse us
some type of special permission from Tio Antonio
no
he said he’d warned me
that I deserved whatever came my way
can't count on anyone anymore
This scene is an example of how important tolerance is because the soldiers wouldn't let Lucia continue her education if they did not support the revolution. The main reason as to why they took Lucia's papa away wasn't just because of the jewelry he hid, but also that he wasn't a supporter of the revolution. The government lacked tolerance and would kill anyone who didn't. Another example would be on page 54 when Doc Machado was hung just because he was planning a peaceful protest against the revolution.
''He wanted a simple, peaceful protest to give voice to what so many feel is a betrayal of what the revolution was suppose to do.''
''They didn't care'' meaning that the government didn't care if it was peaceful or if it was violent it was because he thought differently from the government which gave them a ''good'' reason to end Doc Machado's life.
