I believe that in the novel Bodega Dreams the only person that can be trusted is Blanca. For the simple fact that throughout the book Blanca has always been sincere and go for what right. Chino can also be trusted but if it was up to me I will go for somebody who will always be honest with me. Unlike Chino who didn't want to tell Blanca the truth about Bodega and how he got the apartment. Also the ring Vera gave Chino, Blanca didn't want to take it from Chino because she knows that it will be the wrong thing to do even though Chino insisted Blanca to take the ring.
I don't think Chino is a follower, yes he has chosen to do the favor for Bodega getting to Vera but the reason he did it for was to get a better apartment for Blanca and his baby that is on the way.
Bodega in my opinion is not what i consider a leader. Even though what Bodega once said about he not showing his face and letting people see who he really is for the simple fact that he won't seem as powerful to people as he is now. Nazario in the other hand could be a real leader not only for showing his face and letting people see who he really is, but he the one who do all the work for bodega and knows how everything works int the community. He knows how people think and what they want.
"A great leader's courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position."
Thanks Ana. I loved the visuals and your link was helpful too. Next time, think of another hyperlink that will connect us to a site that goes beyond the quote or topic and expands our exposure to other things related to the topic.
