Read the excerpt from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza.
We stayed only one day at the hotel, long enough for me to become acquainted with the bathtub, located in another closet next to the toilet. A rope of water twisted and whirled from a brass faucet, filling the tub. I sat in the cold water up to my neck and discovered that I could slide down the back of the tub and hit the bottom with a great splash. When my water party was interrupted, both the bathroom and I got a scrubbing.

3. 450 acres. It says, “developers pave over 450 acres of green space a day.”
4. Oranges and handguns. It says, “We don’t produce anything except, you know, oranges and handguns.”
5. As therapy, so he could channel his anger by making the bad guys get what they deserve. It says, “‘Therapy,’ says Hiaasen laughing. ‘Actually, with the novels, you have this wonderful opportunity to write your own endings—to have the bad guys get not only exactly what they deserve, but in some poetic, you know, miserable way.’”
Btw... for the huge side next to number 1 put He likes the natural side of Florida and is very angry with the people responsible for its development for taking over the green spaces and natural beauty and changing Florida from a tropical paradise into an urban sprawl.
