Blog # 2 Scene 6

I didnt really particuarly carre for this scene because of all the racism and how Pachuco was treated. I found this to be very depressing. How can someone be stripped not only of their clothing but also their culture. He was degraded tremendously and Henry didnt even help him as the soldiers ripped him into pieces. "You savages weren't even wearing clothes when the white man pulled you out of the jungle." -page.80 . The Press said this to Pachuco and Henry. They said this to make them sound as if they were in the wrong . They make it seem that one person can't have a sense of individuality/freedom to express themselves. This contributes to the overall theme of racism, it also show what type of character the soldiers are. They are very racist just like everyone else. How would you have handled yourself in this situation ? Have you ever been stripped of any values, if so how ?
