Scene 7 - Alice

-I really liked this scene because it was filled with a lot of drama - at first it was kind of "blah" then it was intense and emotional. But i was a little confused, because i didn't see the kiss coming. i didn't notice anything leading up to that earlier in the play.

1) "You were wrong, ese...There's something to hope for. I know now we're going to win the appeal. Do you hear me, ese? Ese! Are you even there anymore?" ; p.85

2) Henry says this to Pachuco after Alice's reassurance.

3) This is important because Pachuco doesn't answer him and he's not there. I think this shows that Henry was finally able to break free from Pachuco and his negativity.

- Why does Henry continue to fight with Alice every time she encourages him not to lose hope? Was it the kiss that made him realize that she wasn't lying and that she actually cared for him?

  1. I respect your opinion concerning this scene but I disagree. You enjoyed reading it because of its emotion filled pages but I, on the other hand did not enjoy it as much. I agree with you about the kiss but when you think about it, you can see it coming since to get Henrys hopes up Alice had to spill out her emotions, creating some kind of strange twisted love monster.
