Juan Felipe Herrera – Notebooks of a Chile Verde Smuggler
pg. 175-186
1) “Today Dr. Espanto noticed that his Van Gogh screen saver was jittery, the mouse pad upside down – there definitely was something wrong. His Virgen de Guadalupe frame was turned backward. (178)”
This to me he feels like he is upside down. Everything is upside down to him because he is so out of it. He wasn’t with his situation. There is a lot happening around him and he can’t concentrate right. Everything is going crazy and can’t do everything. He needs to take to time to relax.
2) “Bobo: I am awake, I’ve been awake since day one.”
Bobo is saying that he is very alert and he always noticing what’s going on. This quote just stood out me because some people don’t notice things and they think they are, like zoning out. The person that is interviewing him is also trying to make him look bad and just saying and asking him random stuff. Making fun of Americans.
