"For all hard-core Chicano lawyers who have never admitted to anyone that they are ex-alter boys." pg 163
This quote relates greatly to the theme of relgion. It also shows that it is very much a controlling part of their life, and now something that they look back on and don't really tell people. They are now intence lawyers and not religious.

"Peanut bag with salt sext to Tomato juice plastic glass marvelous." pg 141
This quote is what the author considers a zen quote. He says it is very simple. I do not consider this quote simple at all. I find it really very confusing. I have no idea what it means or what it is saying. It is very much random words that make no sence together. Maybe he is saying that zen is nonsence, that it is really just all meaningless jargon.
"Man, you shuddaseen Bangkok in '69. ése." pg131
The rest of the story except for the dialog is written in correct english grammer. So is the author just of higher education then his friends. Or does he just put on the accent when talking to people like him, of his cluture. Is it something that he realizes hes going or just comes natrually.

"My Plutomobile....
Runs on free on free on free on free" pg 88
This poem is talking about all these crazy things that the car runs on. They all remind me of the just random words put together because I do not understand the majority of them. They are just random things for a random word. Plutomoblie, not anything that we know so he can make it anything. on free on free on free on free is the last line of the poem. I think that it means on free, paying nothing.
"While dreamin, eyebrows float
as sheep grazing on cinnamon cliffs." pg 91
I liked this quote because I have absolutely no idea what it means. It is in a poem that is called Simon Says. This quote makes no sence to me. None ocannot think of any corrolation between eyebrows, sheep and cinnamon cliffs.

"Shave without blades." page 61
This is something that is nearly impossible. The poem is called "Things My Relgion Make Me Do." This is something that you can't do. It is asking so much of you. It wants you to shave but wont let you do it with a razor. I looks down upon everything but expects so much from the people who follow it. It is asking it's fallowers to do so much and give up so much.
"There are too many iron girds in California." page 75
This quote remimded me of how we were talking about living of the grid, and the grid generation. Everyone is connected. Everyone has power and telophone lines going to their house. There are very few places that are off the grid. This quote kind of says that CA is just full of them, everything is in the grid, so many grids.

“New Age gargoyle trilingual lowriders, swamp art spaces.” Pg 32
The way this sentence is written catches the reader’s eye. It makes you think twice about what he is trying to day. New Age gargoyle is an oxymoron. When I think of gargoyles I think of old, old buildings. New Age is very much the opposite of old buildings. They rest of this sentence really makes no sense to me and just appears to be random words. Does he put them together to get your attention? Or does he purposely want you to just go right over them.
“Man goes women…… When he comes home & kisses the one he loves.” Pg 55
The rest of the quotes in this poem are about men taking over jobs that are stereotypically things that women do. This last quote though is very different. It kind of implies that men shouldn’t do that witch makes no sense.

"I worry about Mexicans digging their stereotypes" pg 27
This quote stood out to me because the book is about other cultures and how they are viewed and trying to get out of the stereotype that they are placed in. So he is saying that he is worried about the mexican's digging then selfs deeping into the stereo type and just making it worse.

They are trying to assimilate into american culture. They are doing what American culture wants and trying to fit in but are stillbeing judged. People still dont want them to fit and and still don't want them to be equal to Americans. They have come so far in changing and are still not excepted.
