"Barrio Boy" is an autobiography of<em> Ernesto Galarza, </em>which was published in <em>1971. </em>He recounts his travel memories during the Mexican Revolution–of how his family traveled towards California due to the maltreatment of Mexicans in Mexico.
Upon trying to adapt to the American society, Ernesto and his mother discovered the<em> indoor toilet in a hotel located in Nogales.</em> The hotel clerk most likely suspected that Ernesto and his mother could not understand what the sign says because of their<u> lack of knowledge on indoor toilets.</u> <u>The hotel clerk then gave them further instructions on what to do</u>. Ernesto was fascinated by it that <em>he even went several trips to the toilet before he was ordered to sleep</em>.
