Arturo's Flight






Arturo is like any other Puerto Rican boy at his age. We learn alot about Peuto Rican/Hispanic life in this brief excert. I enjoyed it very much. I feel like I am two for two. When I was Peurto Rican and An Island Like You are now both on my "Most Wanted" book list.

I enjoyed the conversation between Arturo and Johann. I thought it was great how a Peurto Rican boy gain such insight from an old man who may possibly be Jewish and how this man impacted the life of a young Peurto Rican boy.
This goes to show you that all cultures belong together and how important it is for everyone to learn about other cultures and make them part of our everyday society.
What if Arturo did not return home? What impact would that have had on the rest of his family and community? Sometimes we can learn alot from the things that do not happen just as much as those that do.
I really enjoyed the two articles and hope to enjoy the full books even more.
