To others reading ATPH,
During this next reading assignment the setting really changed. Blevins was killed previously and now it is just John Grady and Rawlins in confinement. Imprisonment really is not the place for either John Grady nor Rawlins. The two boys need their freedom and openness to go where they please. In prison the two boys got in fights, many of which seem to have started for no reason. Is it just because the Mexicans hate the American boys or do the American boys provoke the fighting? I found it very interesting when Perez said that "It is not a matter of finding. It is a matter of choosing." Perez refers to the "crime" that the boys committed. They really did nothing wrong but the Mexicans could pin any crime to them with just for the sake of convicting them. Luckily, the boys were bailed out of the jail by their friends from the ranch. Unfortunately though, Rawlins and John Grady are finally parting. John Grady will go back into Mexico while Rawlins goes home. Personally, I think they will meet up again because it is inevitable that John Grady will go home eventually.
