Part 2

The role of the coyotes in, “The Tortilla Curtain” is to show that not only do coyotes show no fear but they show no fear to fight for their family. We all have family we would do anything for and they are the same, they have family they hunt, kill, and die for. The author shows that the coyote is not the one to blame and they would probably do the same if in the coyotes position. The chapter revolves around the coyotes actions and how they affect the everyday lives of them. I personally think that the coyotes should obviously be fear but known as the best pack leaders, considering what they would do for each other. In today’s news, the have been no connection that I know of. Due to the fact that the only news I keep up with is social platform news.
