This scene was pretty clear for the most part, I thought it was the end for them when they lost their main lawyer. But so far I see this as the best scene because it determined the boys fate in the courtroom. The faith Henry had paid off because he was set free. The stage direction that stood out is when Henry was going to punch Enrique but stopped himself because of family(pg 94), it showed Henry's maturity.
Will Henry and Alice become a couple?

Act 2 Scene 8: The Winning of the War
There was nothing confusing about this scene, it was pretty basic, the press and army men shouted out dates and important events. In 1942 there was a turning point in the war.
The Press: "If the late summer of 1942 was the low point, a year later the war for the Allied is pounding its way to certain victory." pg 86 That was the central theme of this scene, the victory in World War II.
Is Henry happy also, or is he focused on the appeal?

Act 2 Scene 7: Alice
In this scene ALice was writing Henry and giving him updates on what's been going on but the guard had been keeping his letters from him. When she visited him Henry's response was negative and aggravated and he had no hope but Alice encouraged him and made sense about how they can win. This is why I like this scene because Alice made Henry go from giving up to having hope on winning and that shows what effect she had on him. At the end of the scene Henry said, "You were wrong ese...There's something to hope for. I know we're going to win the appeal," pg 85.
What will Henry do to win the appeal?

Act 2 Scene 6: Zoot Suit Riots
This scene isn't really confusing, the press is just being racist towards the minorities; Blacks, Filipenos, and Mexicans. I wasn't feeling this scene too much because nothing really went on except insults from the Press towards Pachuco. I didn't like how they beat and stripped Pachuco.
Pachuco says, " The Press distorted the very word "zoot suit." All it is for you guys is another way to say Mexican,"pg 80. That statement explains what the Press was doing to mMexicans and how racist and disrespectful they were.
Why didn't Henry help Pachuco or stand up for his race?

Act 2 Scene 5: Solitary
"Pachuco: Forget them all. Forget your family and the barrio beyond the wall.
Henry: There's still a chance I'll get out.
Pachuco: Fat chance
Henry: I'm talking about an appeal
Pachuco: I'm talking about what's real. Hank haven't you learned yet?" page 77. This shows Henry's faith and how Pachucho seems to be bringing him down. Which is the confusing part about this scene, because first Pachuco seemed as if he cared for the boys then he's trying to convince Hank to give up. Overall i liked this scene though because it showed development and Henry's main conflict.
