Juan Felipe Herrera – Notebooks of a Chile Verde Smuggler

pg. 81-105

1) “My Plutomobile” (87)

The Plutomobile runs on things that people can run on but, some of the things he says does not make sense with other things. As people themselves that can run on it or they live by it on some of them. He says “Runs on free on free on free on free” which means on nothing. People can run on nothing but I don’t know how far they can get. They run on things that human beings can run on, it can be their type of fuel.


2) “No matter how many piercing, tattoos, hollers, mosh pits we may deive into, we have the nasty habit of bounding back into our current miasma of meaninglessness, pretty frames of violence from all directions.”

Everywhere is a type of violence, no matter where you look or what people say or do. Anyone can take things in a violence way depending the tone of the voice, their acts, and their appearance. No one can get rid of violence because violence is everything of a teenager because that is how a teenager lives.
