1.) Overall impression: I liked the last scene because it lets you see all the different options that Henry was able to choose from, one out of three, living a good life. I like the fact that they did not just leave it at a "happy ending" and made it seem realistic. I also found this scene confusing because they were all talking to Henry like if they were in different conversations, when I first read it I didnt understand what was happening in the scene.
2.) Act 2 Scene 9 pg 88:
Me and the Batos have been in alot of fights together, ese. But we won this one, because we learned to fight in a new way.
Pachuco: And that's the perfect wayto end this play-happy ending y todo....but life ain't that way Hank."
Henry was talking to El Pachuco about the trials that they had gone through, and how everything after that would be alright. Here, El Pachuco makes Henry see the reality of the situation around them. Its about the way that you could have one a single battle but you have to view everything around it as well, its that if everyone were to fight a certain way, they could probably stand a chance otherwise they won't be able to accomplish anything.
3.) What is your opinion on Henry's attitude towards his family and friends once he got out of prison?
