I didn't really like Scene 5 because it made me feel bad for Henry. Pachucho is saying everything negative to Henry and it seems as though he wants Henry to give up the fight. The part that I liked the most was when Henry talks about missing his family and everyone. The quote I chose was " I miss them , ese...my jefitos, my carnalillo, my sis..I miss Della." (page 77) Henry says this to Pachucho when Pachucho tells Henry that he's in jail for protecting his family and his brother. I think this quote is important because it changes my view on Henry. At first he was like a hard core "thug" and it seemed as though he had no feelings , but now I see him as a regular person who does have emotions. It develops Henry's character into less of a Zoot Suiter and more of a normal boy who just so happened to get caught up in a negative situation.
Do you think that Henry is becoming his own person and no longer needs Pachucho ?

This scene is pretty negative but you should notice that Henry stayed positive although Pachuco tried to bring him down
