1. What did you learn about the boys’ culture, experiences, and values from the kinds of things they knew about life in the U.S. and the kinds of things they had to learn? Imagine that you had been sitting next to the boys on the flight to the U.S. and had an opportunity to get to know them a little bit. What kinds of things would you have had in common and what would have been the most significant differences?
2. How did it feel to hear elders admonish the boys before they left not to “act like those people who wear baggy jeans who do all the bad things in America”? Who do you think they meant and why might they have singled out that group?
3. At one point, Santino answers the question, “What stories will you tell the white people?” by saying, “I will tell them that I have left many friends here, friends I love very much, who have always stood by me.” Do you think Santino will have an opportunity to tell these stories? Why or why not?
