During this chapter Abel and Glenda hung out a bit more and even had a, "date" to the movies. When Abel returned home Jesse asked about the movie and asked also if Abel had been having feelings for Glenda. To this Abel replied, " she has a baby, and she is not Mexican." This greatly surprised me. Never before in this book had race been an issue. there was injustice but not due to race and never had any racism been spoken about. Suddenly Abel is not allowed to like a girl unless she is Mexican, when Jesse asked why Abel said, "it's just not right." It feels like another story of forbidden love.
