Quote 1: The last line indicated that my uncle was in the grievances section of the national police’s investigation and anti-gang unit. And as if to remove any hope that the matter he was complaining about might actually be looked into, the word complaining about might actually be looked into, the word “investigation” was misspelled in the department letterhead.
-thought by unknown, page 200
Significance: I thought that this was pretty much stating that the police weren’t going to do anything about it, in fact they didn’t care. This really shows you how corrupt the police are and how different it is from other places around the world. But it can also be the same because there are a lot of corrupt police and politicians across the world.
Question 1: Who was the one that was thinking this?
Quote 2: “They have papers,” I tried to explain.
“I’m sorry,” he said, “but I have two flights coming in.” Then he hung up.
-said by Edwidge and a flight helper, page 210
Significance: I thought that this really said how much people are unwilling to help other people when they don’t like their certain race or they just at introverts and don’t like talking or helping other people. I really feel sorry for them because now they will have to go down to it and get them.
Question 2: Why are some people so mean?

Quote 1: Yes, all people are/will be corrupt at on time or another. Also it appears that they do not ever care about others problems even if they are an inch from dying.
Question 1: I don’t know Ross that is confusing!
Quote 2: that just makes me mad that one will not hold on or listen to what people want to say. Also that they are too self caring that they don’t care!
Question 2: They may have a bad day, or they are just mad, or they don’t want to talk, or they just want to be left alone.

Quote one: I didn't notice this as closely as you, I am surprised now how differently everything has changed for the past like the way things were organized. It's a lot different today from the past and in different countries like you mentioned.
Question one: I think it was Edwidge? I don't know..
Quote two: I agree, in different countries and different times people were not as kind as they are today, but still there are rude people in the world. :(
Question two: They might have had a troubled past, horrific experience, get it from their parents or they just get joy from it.
Quote 1: I agree with you when you said that this shows that the police don't care that much that they don't even fix the word investigation.
Question 1: I think that Edwidge said this.
Quote 2: I think that this was a sad quote because when Edwidge was trying to explain the fact that they do have the papers to get into America, but the police wouldn't even listen.
Question 2: There are a lot of different reason why that person could be mean, maybe its because they had a horrible life or day. Or maybe they are just mean people who only care about themselves.
