For one of the few emotional outbursts in the novel, there is no consolation for the distressed child. There is only condemnation of his actions and a reminder of not only of how he should act but also of the very topic that is distressing him, his missing father.

I am Iran Munoz-Montoya. I was supposed to be writing something about me that made me want to be who I am today; something that appeals to colleges. All I know is that I am who I am because of my parents. They had me a year before they graduated high school. My mother came from Juarez and my father came from Cuauhtémoc legally, but stayed here illegally.

Only three steps in and my eyes were immediately confronted with sales signs and beautifully enticing store entrances, all of which were overwhelming to me considering I had walked in with a purpose to only buy one specific product at Target.

Childhood is the most interesting and comfortable period in people’s lifetime because it is the beginning of discovering the new world. Everything is fresh to children and they feel excited to get along with it.

I was lying on the ground inside a dimly lit cell soaking in my blood and I was terrified, feeling the last bit of my strength slowly leaving me. I tried to fight back the fear and helplessness that I felt knowing that I was a going to die, but it was something that could not be accomplished in moments like these.
