Chapter 5 – Prison
Senator Mendoza’s children (Maria and Emilia) are sent homr. Rosa says Senator Mendoza always asks El Patron for money. We learn El Patron has not asked about Matt in years. The doctor wonders if El Patron is senile or still like a bandit.
The doctor leaves Rosa to serve El Patron; she is very angry and blames Matt for this. She mistreats Matt by taking away his bed, clothing (except shorts), and waste bucket. He lives in filth and eventually sawdust – which he burrows through and plays in.
Another boy, Tom, comes to see Matt and insults him. Matt hurls a rotten orange full of worms at him. Tom returns with a pea shooter and tortures Matt.
Maria returns and brings Celia to Matt’s prison window. Matt is in disbelief, fearing further pain and disappointment. Celia refers to Matt as “child” and asks Maria to give a letter to Senator Mendoza (her “dada”) asking him to help Matt.
