Today in class we continued to learn about identity and Latino literature. Here is another passage from Chapter 4 of Down These Mean Streets. Again, they are broken into 3 levels and are followed by comprehension questions.
HOMEWORK A
From that day on I grew eyes all over my head. Anytime I hit that street for anything, I looked straight ahead, behind me and from side to side all at the same time. Sometimes I ran into Rocky and his boys—that cat was never without his boys—but they never made a move to snag me. They just grinned at me like a bunch of hungry alley cats that could get their mouse anytime they wanted. That’s what they made me feel like—a mouse. Not like a smart house mouse but like a white house pet that ain’t got no business in the middle of cat country but don’t know better ‘cause he’d end up as part of the inside of some cat.
- Who did Piri run into in the street?
- What animal did they make Piri feel like?
- How did they make Piri feel?
