During the second scene Juan Villasenor, as a young man he did many things for his family, putting himself at risk, sacrificing what he loved the most to feed his family and others. These where two important scenes in my perspective. In the beginning of the chapter he starts of by yelling "Villistas" to drive away the attention of Cara de Nopal one of the men that own some corn fields. At the time Cara de Nopal was known for shooting anyone that would steal from his corn fields. As for Juan he cared less, as he ran across the small town people would hide, once they did this Juan and his two sisters ran to the corn fields and got corn. This meant a lot to me because he put his life on the line for his family, knowing that he could get shot, but it was all for a family he had to feed. The second scene that got my attention was when they were waiting on the train tracks for the train and there was so many people and Juan's family had nothing to eat but Juan's old burro. When his mom mention sacrificing his burro he could not take it, but once he made up his mind he did not just end up feeding his family but many people around them. This was very important because he showed that he really cared for his family, he was able to sacrifice his burro that he loved to feed his family. Through his actions you can see that Family meant the world to Juan.
