Another character in the novel that resembles the coyote is José Navidad. José plays the role of the “bad guy” in the novel who rapes women and intrudes on other people’s property as well. For instance, even Cándido feels that José intrudes on his space, ”Now he had to worry about this stinking crack-toothed pendejo nosing around down in the canyon, as if he did not have enough problems already”(p. 90). In addition, José and a friend intrude on the Da Ros property which is part of the real estate Kyra tries to sell. José seems to intrude for the purpose of advantage. In contrast to that, Cándido is nearly forced to enter others people's property to provide for his family. Therefore José’s overall behaviour shows that he does whatever pleases
If you ever come to the Twin Cities, like most sheep you're going to want to go to the Mall of America. This is fine and I understand this because 1) you've been programmed to and 2) there isn't much else to see in the Twin Cities. Oh yes, I'm sure they'll tell you to see either a Twins or Vikings game. Yes, I'm sure the locals will insist you check out our incredibly mediocre downtowns. And the truly delusional Twin Citians will perhaps fool you into going to the worthless and talentless Walker Art "Museum." But all in all the Twin Cities suck and I cannot recommend you come here for much of anything.

Matt meet’s his new teacher for the first time,”‘ Learning is fun!’ said Teacher. ‘I’ll bet you’re a smart boy.

I’m not going to pretend I know what it’s like to grow up under racial prejudice. I’m not going to pretend I understand any of the struggles people of a different race or ethnicity go through. I’m a white Christian female. I have not gone through the same things that people like Jose has gone through, but he uses many different examples to help connect with people from all walks of life, such as homosexuals, immigrants, Americans, and people with anxiety. Jose Vargas impacts a larger audience by sharing the personal details of his unconventional lifestyle and the help he received as a homosexual undocumented immigrant with anxiety.

A Comedy for the Rich, a Tragedy for the Poor Plutarch, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said: “An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.” In many autocratic societies, where governments are often corrupt from the immense power that they hold, its citizens are the one’s who feel the wrath of this persecution. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins depicts a dystopian society which takes place in Panem, a country consisting of the wealthy Capitol and 12 surrounding districts in varying states of poverty. Every year, the Capitol hosts its annual Hunger Games, where children from each district are randomly selected to be part of the bloodbath, in which they battle until only one survivor remains.
