    Antonio initially comes across as a pragmatic individual mainly concerned with providing for his family. He teases his wife for her decision to visit a local mystic, but he later returns to visit the mystic after his bike is stolen. The psychic gives him some vague, unhelpful advice, but the point of this is to show that even the most practical people will look for relief and assurance from questionable sources when they have lost hope.

    I believe that in the novel Bless Me, Ultima Antonio is an alienated individual. He doesn't seem to act like any of the other kids his age and has been through so much more then they have. For example, Antonio is torn between making his mother happy and becoming a priest, or making his father happy and becoming a cowboy type figure. He also has experienced a lot of death in his life to people he cared deeply about. I believe that Antonio is alienated because he has the mind of an adult, he is the only one who can talk to Ultima, and he can see the future.…
