Pocho in my opinion, is a character who struggles throughout his life by his actions with his gang and struggles with the fact of doing what is necessarily the right way to solve a problem. He has both a good and a bad side.
This shows in the drive-by shooting confrontation with Raul and when he tries to save Kata by risking his Life to lure the cops away to keep her safe
Well i think that Pocho is nice but at the same time confused because like he feels bad that his mom left him and he doesn`t want anyone to know but at the same time he doesn`t know what to do because he doesn`t want to die but he is that life and maybe he`ll be in it forever.
Pocho is just a character that had problems in his life that is why he is so mean and ungrateful. Like when Pocho and Kata are fighting Kata tells Pocho that it wasn't her fault that his mom abandon him.(98 and 99).
pocho is a a fool, and cares about dreamer.i know that because dreamer says to pocho," you're a fool", and also pocho goes to dreamers house to make sure that shes OK because the vatos were chasing dreamer.
Pocho is a character who is misjudged his childhood was not good so he shows that by being mean, ungrateful, and selfish. Like when Kata admits (Ewing 98-99) Also when Pocho throws malt liquor bottle to Kata Pocho's showing his anger (Ewing 39).
@Anthony - We know Dreamer thinks Pocho is a fool, but what do you think. Re-post with textual evidence to support YOUR beliefs about him. @ Emily - Explain some of the problems that Pocho has faced - add another post. @ Michelle - re-post. Please find more evidence.
Pocho has faced many problems like when his mom left him with Kata's mom because she told him that she didn't love him anymore. Then Pocho joined a gang and he wanted to be the toughest on ninth street so he tries to act all hard.
Pocho is a bad character. Pocho is always acting like a showoff.He mistreated a dog just to empress serena. Also when Ana and him are in the car he tries to rip out the cassette. He thinks he's all that.
i think that pocho cares about dreamer because he goes to her house after the vats were chasing dreamer to make sure that she was ok. i also think that poch cares about dreamer because he doesnt whant to get her pregnant because thats what shes been avoiding her whole life
@ Cynthia - great job supporting your assertion with textual evidence. @ Moises - Very good interpretation of the dual sides of Pocho, which adds to his complexity of a character. He does bad things, but he's not all bad. @ Lesly - Great comments. Very well said (but you need to punctuate - that is one very long sentence) @Emily - This needs textual evidence. Please re-comment.
My opinion is that Pocho is mean. One reason he's mean is because on page 35 he steals a puppy and kicks it in the stomach to show off for Serena. The second reason he's mean is because when its Ana's funeral Kata gets mad at Pocho and his friends because they think its funny and Pocho said to Kata,"We all loved her you....." he yelled. its on pg 39
i think Pocho is a jerk and a bad guy because a soon as Ana died he was showing of for Serena and he tried to make Kata kill Raul because he wanted to keep his reputation and make him die because Ana loved Raul more than Pocho
In my opinion Pocho has a good and bad side. he has a bad side because there's a part that he's mistreating a dog and in the good side there's a part where he's actually risking his life for dreamer by going different ways so the cops would not get dreamer.
@Armando - You are right about his jealousy. Give us some details about hating "when they don't listen" -it's unclear @Rogelio - I agree with you, but what are some of Pocho's good qualities? Add another post. @Michael - Think carefully about this. Does Pocho really not care about anyone? How does he feel about Dreamer? Re-post pleaes. @ Stephanie - Good start. Give us some more evidence. @Emily - Great comments. @Brian - Good job. Well argued. @Anthony - I think you have brought up many things that many people don't think of. Great job really analyzing the text.
i don't like pocho , he is mean and cruel . he is two faced he has two sides a good side and a mean side . he tricks kata to shoot a guy for him over ana , but he is hurt that his mother went crazy and left him . so on the inside he is hurt and wants to hurt others because he is hurting on the inside

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion as a character I think his character is fake because he tries to be someone he is not.

Pocho is a bad character because he mistreated a dog just to impress Serena.Also because he wanted to kill Raul because he wanted to marry Ana.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Pocho is a guy who has many problems and doesn't care about anyone.
ReplyDeleteWhen he told Kata to shoot Raul he didn't care if other people got hit. Also when Ana died he went and showed off for Serena.
In my opinion I think Pocho is a fool because he was starting to get at girls after Ana had just died.

ReplyDeletepocho is a mean person because on page 35 pocho kicks the dog because he wants to impress Serena.And he tries to get at girls right after Ana died.
ReplyDeleteI think that Pocho is a sad person because his mom left him when he was small and he doesn't want to die because he is in a gang

When Pocho tells Kata what to do she didn't listen to him he got mad.
ReplyDeleteI think Pocho is just a person that is misjudged by others I think he is actually good at heart but just doesn't show it.
