Scene 8 - The Winning Of The War

-This scene was not very interesting to me because it was really short and it really just consisted of newspaper headlines about the war. To me it was kind of irrelevant - even though it does sort of connect because all these events were in the same time period, there really wasn't much talking about the Pachucos.

1) "On the homefront, Americans go on with their daily lives with growing confidence and relief, as the war pushes on toward inevitable triumph." ; p.86-87

2) This is said by the Press to the reader.

3)I think this is important because even though the press was referring to other Americans and not specifically Mexican-Americans, it still correlates to the families of the convicted Pachucos because they too have "growing confidence and relief as the war", or the appeal in this case
"pushes towards inevitable triumph" because they have faith the the appeal will come out in their favor.

- Was the war won? Did freedom for America also mean freedom and justice for the Pachucos?
