5. In chapter five we see how easily influenced Victor really is. When a kid from Boston came to their class he got to be good friends with Victor but when he found out he was Mexican. He screamed in horror because he thought Victor had a knife. Of course Victor didn't have a knife but at the time he felt that if his friend said it it must have been true. At the end of this chapter Victor feels sick being a Mexican because we he was being persuaded at school that Mexicans were no good dirty people.
6.In. The beginning of this chapter Victor brings two knifes to school because he now believed that all Mexicans carried knifes. In school one of his knifes gets confiscated by his teacher and Ramon takes the other one. Victor gets in trouble with the teacher and gets taken to the office, with his parents being called to school. His mother gets mad at him while his father actually takes Victors side and exclaims that the knife was unusable in the first place therefore harmless. By the end of chapter six Victor is running away from home when he encounters two cowboys with a herd of mustangs on their way to Hollywood and he ends up leading them into his ranch so they can rest their herd. Victor learns from these two cowboys that Mexicans can actually be warm oving people and his faith in his race is partly restored.
7. In this chapter Victor learns an important lesson of generosity from his father and how one can never be to generous. He also learns that school didn't get worse and he felt really depressed about having to go back even refusing to go back to school shopping. Victor became a daily bed wetter and was terrified about school and worked very hard to keep up with the class to fit in but sadly he just couldn't. Victor realizes that he needs to really appreciate what he had and just slowly get better.
