The American dream
　
　
When people hear the American dream they see that as a opportunity for a better life and a better future. We see some similar conflicts with chino and bodega from Ernesto Quinones book “bodega dreams”. bodegas dream is to bring up Spanish Harlem and all the Hispanic people who live in it. Chino is a young collage student who is about to graduate from hunter collage, who is also married and who’s wife is expecting a child soon.
Willie bodega is a drug lord who’s turf is in Spanish Harlem . Through selling drugs and collecting money from other dealings, he uses the money and starts people out by finding them jobs or a place to stay. With the younger people he pays for their collage tuition so that they can graduate and become professionals sooner. He wants to bring up Spanish Harlem and its people, he want to better their lives so that they aren’t looked as a low class anymore.
Chino, (also known as Julio) is a young almost collage graduate from hunter . He is also about to become a father. Since there is a child on the way he wants to find a better place to live by the time the baby arrives. In a way this is chinos idea of a American dream, to get a better living place for his wife and his kid. He knows its going to be hard to achieve this and when the chance comes by to make his goals come true he takes that chance.
Bodegas and chinos way of seeing things are differently . Chino wants a better place for his wife and kid. He always has is mind focused on what’s around him and on the future. Bodega is trying to relive the past, that unfocuses him from his goals and messes his plans. You can always learn from the past and make a more better choice than from your past choices. But trying to relive it may not always work in your favor.
