    This book is mostly about how some Hispanic people live, it’s a good book because it shows how the Hispanic community used to live or how they still living, that they are always supporting each other on everything. Hispanic people will love the person who help them on what they need, in this case, Willie Bodega was a drug dealer but he helped his neighborhood so all of them liked him. Also, Willie did this because he wanted protection and power and knew that they wouldn’t snitch on him if they knew what he was doing. The reason why he was doing that was because he was in love with a girl that left him because he was poor. He made money and made people happy. Sadly he died with the knowledge that his best friend ( a lawyer ) stole his girlfriend, his best friend kill him because he wanted to stay with her.

    This book is perfect because it is not too hard or easy to read. I like the story, because it explains how immigrants such as Latinos used to live together and help each other. The sad part is the government didn’t help these communities so people such as Willie Bodega; a drug dealer steps in. Bodega was loved by everybody in the neighborhood because he took care of his people by paying rent or debts. This gave him power and protection in the community so the police struggled to catch him. Government and society needs to reflect that if we don’t work together as one human race, people like Bodega grow and twist the young minds with drugs and false goals.
