The Children of Sanchez (2011)
“I FELT FREE … Nothing tied me down, absolutely nothing. I could do what I wanted and hardly ever got punished. If I cried, my papá petted me and gave me money. When he locked me indoors I escaped through the roof. I was rude and talked back to everyone because I felt that I was my father’s favorite. I gave my stepmothers and the women who worked for us a hard time. Most of them didn’t stay long; only Enoé and La Chata stuck it out for four or five years. But I made them cry, and Elena, my first... stepmother, cried too.
My friends looked up to me and made me feel like their chief. When we played baseball I decided where everyone was to go; no matter what we did, they had to get my agreement first. They saw that my father gave me the best of everything, and that I had money and fruit to give out. That’s why they were always coming by for me and asking me to play. I never lacked friends and I felt “big” in my circle.
From the start, I didn’t like school and went only to please my papá.MoreLess
