One of the scenes that I think it’s important it’s when Don Pio Castro feels the presence of God and shows him the land that he can use, after searching for so many years and fighting over the land finally God spoke to him and show him where he had to go and no matter how the land was he was going to be prosper on everything that he did. This is an important scene because it shows you that even when the citizens where already free the rich people still took control of the land and made the poor slaves and that’s not what Don Pio wanted he wanted the people to be free to in everything that they did but sadly the people that were his friends and fought in the battles to obtain that freedom change their perspectives and became what they were fighting against. He just wanted the people to live their lives how ever they wanted. One word that I can use to describe this scene would be “FREEDOM” because that’s what Don Pio always fought and his believes. The other scene that I think it’s important it’s when Juan Castro is running around telling every one that the soldiers are coming so every one starts hiding in the corn feels and running away but he was lying to every one and he made this lie because his family had been stuck in the border with Texas trying to cross the border and had no food so what he did was while everyone was hiding he stole corn from the fields and he did this because he cares about his family and doesn’t want to see them suffer and he knew that by doing that he would help his family and it did so the word that I would chose to describe this scene would be “CARENESS” because you can see that even though he is still a boy he cares and protects his family form everything that happens.
