Summary Of The Many Death Of Danny Rosales

“The Many Deaths of Danny Rosales” play by Carlos Morton it is an interesting Chicano story, where we can find a situation of a murder case of a young teenager in a small town in Texas. This story reflects the type of discrimination and racist police officer and a lawyer, which the lawyer try to cover up the negligence murder of this young boy. The scene that I am going to talk about is in (pg. 12), where Berta, Danny, and his friend KIKI are talking in the kitchen, when she sees them whispering and ask both how you get that TV. Danny respond Kiki’s is known to be as the “Chicano Robin Hood”. Referring Morton play on (pg. 12), Kiki say, “Because I take from the rich Gringos and give to the poor Chicano like me”. This scene got my attention
because it really shows how a young youth try to adapt a roll of been a criminal with the figure of a hero, without putting the attention to the consequences. The picture that I take shows a connection of with this scene in the way that the main idea of this scene is how the TV and radio. The electronics reflects the concerns of Berta on how they get the money to buy it or if they stole it, plus we can tell how back in time Chicano communities where either poor families or middle class. This connects a great image how teenagers had the temptation to steal from people because they were part from an era where the economy was not good.
