Julian - “I want to pull this fish in. I want to be the hero for once! Why should I give it up?”

Julian - “If I catch a big one Papi will get a year’s worth of luck, and they’ll take a picture of me standing next to the fish hanging upside down on the dock”

Julian - “I’m starting to get this scary feeling that anything could happen anytime, anywhere. It’s like the glue that kept everything and everyone together started to dissolve right after I lost the big fish.”

When Julian said “Real gunshots are like the roar of a lion compared to the meow of a cat (chapter 2, page 17).” the author, Enrique Flores-Galbis was showing readers that

“The soldiers seal the windows with their red tape, trapping the spirit of the families inside with their laughter, dishes, and photographs. Those empty houses, like the tombs of the Egyptian kings we read about in school, are dark and mysterious and begging to be explored.” from Chapter 5, Page 32 reveals to the reader that
