Part Two of Tortilla Curtain I think is a lot better as well. I think that since the first part had to introduce all the characters and main events, the second part got much better because it wasn't just learning about the characters, it's more like a movie, where you can just read on what happens throughout with story.
I felt bad when the coyote killed one of Delany’s dogs. I thought it was sad, however I like the relation; the Mossbachers dog to a coyote which, is more from Candido lifestyle. I thought it was funny how Candido stole the woman’s purse in broad daylight, however its sad how it shows how desperate he is, and how much him and America need help. I don’t like how the Mossbachers are taking things for granted where there are families like Candido and America who need the essentials that they take advantage of. I think it's also a lesson anyone who reads this book can learn, that we can't take things for granted its sad how many people die a day because of what they desperately need, which are the essentials’ we barley use.

My ticket this week was
Delany's
One out of two "best friends"
Gobbled by a Coyote
My acrostic poem was about when Delanys dog was killed from the Coyote because I thought it was a pretty important part, and it relates to the story, however it's not really occuring at this part. I still think the book is interesting and I still like it however, it's not as exciting as it was in the first part of Part Two. The disscussion I thought was successful but kinda boring. But, I'm exciting to read more.
