Honore and Maruca are two hard working parents that go through a series of conflicts that all occur in their home. Bonita is their beautiful 15th-teen year old child. Honore’s name was given by his father and his name originated from a French novelist, Honore de Balzac. His blood line of the men has a legacy of being “coyotes, narcotraficantes, drunks, or womanizers.” Sadly, his father passed away in a firearm battle over a married woman. He is more of a street smart man, rather than a book smart man. Jose Marti was a Cuban hero that died in the revolution against the Spanish imperialist and that is what Honore was reading on his day off until he was distracted by many things. Dona Panfila, his mother was constantly bothering him and always feeling lonely, since she is alone at her house. Honore’s name meant “man of honor,” according to what his father told his mother. Both Maruca and Honore have a love hate relationship. In one moment, they could be fighting while the next, they could be getting along. He always finds her cleaning their house, as it begins with the novel that she is mopping. He is willing to do anything to provide for the family, even taking great risks of getting killed or arrested as a narcotraficante. Honore has a macho attitude and the mentality that he can do anything by himself, which he attempts to prove when his high school friend, Trotsky, offers him help. Honore refused his help, therefore he became injured when trying to cut down a branch off of the tree that was scraping on Bonita’s window. The only reason that he decided to finally cut the tree was because his wife was nagging him to. In addition, his wife said that he would get some candy late at night. Two men, Juan and Pedro, dropped off twenty crates of dolls at his house, which Trotsky had mentioned to him over the phone earlier. His wife was upset that the crates were in
