Rain of Gold Last Summary/ Turned it in on time reminding you Susie

Dona Margarita was desperate to find her son Domingo and she was positive she was going to find him. She wrote multiple letters to him daily and to the whole neighborhood because she figured that someone had to know Domingo and the word would eventually get out. She went to church to demand to the Virgin Mary that she should do her part and talk to God and Jesus to get Domingo back safe to her. While talking to The Virgin she also meets a new priest whose name is Ryan and thinks that she’s weird. Switching it to Lupe, her sisters and herself are in the fields digging out dry apricots and its really hot and tough working sun up to sun down. She gets really sick because her body can’t take the hard labor and Carlota thinks it’s all an act. While hallucinating she thought of Salvador and his dream of getting rich and she liked it. After a few days she gets better and goes back to work, Salvador shows up with flowers and wants to take her for a drive on the moon in the fields. She was a little surprised but excited so she starts driving all over the place. When they go back to the house Isabel asked if they were going to get married and Lupe was really embarrassed. Salvador stayed for dinner and when he went to the car to leave they had their first kiss and they both loved it. He is really happy and goes home to tell his mom all about his day with Lupe. Dona Margarita say’s he has to act quick and her hook her before it’s too late. The rumors started piling up, saying that Salvador was a bootlegger. Salvador was really excited and started looking for wedding rings he thought of going to a whorehouse and seeing if those girls had any pretty rings he could buy for Lupe. He was so happy that he ended up sleeping with them. Dona Margarita talks to her husband’s enemy to get information about Domingo because that’s what Virgin Mary advised her. She made Don Ernesto get cool with her and that led her to finding Domingo. Domingo returns home with his new girlfriend Nellie and she’s pregnant. At dinner they finally start talking about why Domingo left and what happened of their father and Salvador gets into an argument with Domingo and he hit him. They both resent each other very much. Mark goes and visits Lupe upset and asking her what happened after being so close to him proposing. Lupe tells him it’s another guy and he gets really upset. Salvador asks Lupe hand in marriage with the priest the family finally says yes and Dona Guadalupe gives Salvador a white flower from back en La Lluvia to take care and nurture just as he would with Lupe. Some cop that doesn’t like Mexicans found out about the bootlegging Domingo and Juan had been doing, they destroy the business and beat them. Don Victor finds out Salvador is a bootlegger but he doesn’t cared because he heard he is a macho de Corazon. They get everything ready and they get married. They are very happy and made for one another.

Three Questions:

1. What is the risk of going against family traditions?

2. What can Salvador do to help make leaders of his people?

3. What is the price to pay for being a women?
