Rudolfo Anaya
literary fiction
pg. 143-176

Antonio has now returned to school again. A bunch of the kids at his school are making fun of him and calling Ultima a witch. He attempts to stand up for her but it's pointless, all the kids end up fighting anyways. After the fight, no one teases Antonio about Ultima anymore. Antonio and his friends also end up taking over their school play when no one shows up for school during a blizzard. When Antonio is walking home, he passes Tenorio fighting with someone in the street. Apparently another one of his daughters is sick and he is threatening to kill Ultima. Antonio continues to follow Tenorio around. Antonio witnesses Tenorio killing Narciso, and screams, causing Tenorio to attempt to shoot at Antonio, but his weapon doesn't fire. Antonio goes home to report what he has seen, then falls into a deep fever and has a dream about the Virgin again. Antonio begs God to forgive them of their sins.

This book has begun to confuse me...a lot. It takes a lot of focus to read. There's so much controversy about religion, it just becomes confusing! But I mean if that's you're kind of book, go for it!
