The final theme in this book is how Iguala appeared in Reyna’s eyes. To Reyna, Iguala was basically hell on earth. As previously mentioned, she was forced to live with her grandmothers when both of her parents left to go to the United States. Reyna and her two siblings were both neglected, abused, and mistreated by their grandmothers for eight long years before their parents came to take them to America. One example of this was if Reyna did not show up at home in time, her grandmothers would beat her severely. During this time, Reyna received a poor education from Mexican schools. She also was made to do hard labor at some points. All of this while being a young girl. It is certain that Reyna’s life in Mexico, the experiences and hardships that she went through as a child played a major role in her life.
