There are many characters from Bodega Dreams who posses conscious but the most obvious one is chino. Chino is struggling with the decision of having two lives. One being the husband of a very religious wife with a baby on the way, trying to finish college and the other with his street life and his involvement with Willie Bodega. Blanca does not want Chino to get involved in the activities that Sapos into, yet she does not know about the involvement with Willie Bodega which is worse and may possibly get chino into trouble. Chino can not say no to Blanca because it may put their relationship at risk but he can not deny Bodega because of the benefits he's reciving. Chino is aiming to please Blanca without hurting Bodega and possibly that is the reason of Chinos two different life styles. Chino allthough his intensions are good, he ends up making the wrong decisions and lying to Blanca after which he feels guilty for but then repeats the same mistake again.
You're so right. It's funny, Chino seems to be torn between these two worlds yet makes the same ill decisions. I wonder if this will continue or will he finally learn his lesson? Thanks for the great effort Rehana. As always of course.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why people say chino has conscience he's just making things worse him listening to bodega just puts him in a deeper hole.
