Which quote most supports why Lourdes will not look at Enrique on her last day.

• The boy does not understand.

• They live on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, in Honduras. She can

  barely afford food for him and his sister, Belky, who is seven.

• She understands, as only a mother can, the terror she is about to inflict, the ache Enrique will feel, and finally the emptiness.

• They have a bleak future. He and Belky are not likely to finish grade school. Lourdes cannot afford uniforms or pencils. Her husband is gone. A good job is out of the question.
