Through the first 150 pages of the novel Bodega Dreams, the only people in my perspective that can be trusted are Chino and his lovely wife Blanca. Blanca can be trusted due to the fact that since the beginning of the book she has been honest and loyal to Chino. Blanca is also a religous person and has a good vision in what she wants in her future and also whats best for Chino. But Blanca isn't the only one in the book that can be trusted. Chino is also a trustworthy character. Even though Chino lies and/or keeps things away from his wife, he does what he does for the better of his family.

I don't see chino being a leader yet i don't see him being a follower. He doesn't follow anyone but at the same time he doesn't lead anyone no where, he doesn't tell anyone to do anyone. Yet the so called leader Bodega isn't really a leader. He doesn't lead anything if anything Naziro is the one that leads everything, he is the one that does the job while Bodega just outs in the money .
