The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao ( p.148-186 )

OK, my bad but i didn't finish my book before my last post. Crazy time at school and managing my time at home. BUT it was still a very sad part of my reading this time around. This gangster got Beli pregnant, andthen decides to say he is married. NOW, he decides to drive with Beli east, while his boys are abusing Beli in the back seat =-O. They was harrasing her, andthen they were hitting her and abusing her like if she was a slave. When they actually got out the car, they beat her in the floor and left her there, but then she was taken to the hospital where she was later told that she had lost her baby. It was a bad hit to Beli because she wanted the baby so much that when she was getting hit she was actually trying to block all hits that went to her stomach. NOW, I also got into seeing how Oscar grew up. He was them type of boys who wanted to have sex with his girlsfriends a lot but they never gave him anything. His ways got him into gang problems and had to live up to a alot of violence.

"My baby, Beli wept. Mi hijo precioso. Hypathia your baby is dead"(Diaz149). I chose this quote because this moment was a big downfall in Belis life. She just lost her child, boyfriend and moms trust. I can relate to this in someway because my aunt lost a child once because of her ex hitting her.
