"Hernando stood waiting for the rain to cease so he might take the wooden plow into the field again...His wife spoke. "Something is wrong, Hernando?" "Sí. The road. Something big has happened. Something big to make the road so empty this way."
Pg. 39

(E) In this part of the book, there is a couple that seems to be waiting on the rain to stop, well at least the husband is. The thing that made me use this quote and part of the book was that the couple is Latino. I really wasn't expecting that; I thought it would've only been Caucasians and African Americans, because that is usually how it is in most books, unless it is announced as a more diverse or predominately Latino book. The presence of the Latinos add more diversity to this book. Also, this might be a Mexico or a Central or South American setting. I'm not trying to be racist; it's just a guess.
