HEY GUYS! SO HERE IS AN IMPORTANT PASSAGE! It is in chapter five, and is spoken (or thought... or narrated?) by Dede.
She decided not to read the papers anymore. They were turning her upside down inside. The regime was going insane, issuing the most ludicrous regulations. A heavy fine was now imposed on anyone who wore khaki trousers and shirts of the same color. It was against the law now to carry your suit jacket over your arm. Lío was right, this was an absurd and crazy regime. It had to be brought down.
But when she read the list to Jaimito, she did not get the reaction she expected. “Well?” he said when she was through and looked up at him.
"Isn't it ridiculous? I mean, it's absurd, insanely ridiculous." Unlike her golden-tongued sister, Dede was not eloquent with reasons."
To me, this passage shows how crazy things were getting under the rule of Trujillo. This is also important because Dede decides that this "absurd and crazy" regime has to be brought down. I definitely agree with Dede. It IS ridiculous! I can't imagine living in a country where we aren't allowed to wear certain colors!

P.S THIS IS A POST BY GABBY!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. This is ridiculous. It is basically saying that anything you wear is against the law and you can go to jail for any piece of clothing. It's kind of like school. If we wear a non-WJPS sweatshirt then we get a detention.
