From Owl Creek Bridge to
Peyton’s farm, it’s a thick mist of death. It wouldn’t have mattered to Peyton even if he could have seen it ahead of time, all he never even had a plan when he left his wife, children and farm down that mist of death toward the railroad tracks and the river that day. Through Payton’s eyes as he is strung up on the bridge with a gun to his head, he enters another world. He is suppressing the horrible reality of what is happening to him. His eyes close he has escaped down into the river below into the waters struggling to free himself of the rope, finally he does. He makes his way to the river bank and trudges through the woods, which he is not quite familiar with and hopes he is heading toward his farm.

Victor was always more concerned about the prejudice than his bond with Thomas it almost stopped him from agreeing to take the money for the trip, all those eyes-what would they say? He realized he had no other choice, and once he got away from all the prejudice he began to see more clearly. Pat Mora the author of this poem La Migra was cleaver the border patrol police has no chance; he was not at home anymore he’s in her home. She knows every nook and cranny. She knows where to rest, drink, and survive. The border patrol police in Mexico, he drives all day all night around the edge of his Quota, Quota its very long, bumpy, dark, lonely, dusty, but I need it,
It’s my lively hood sometimes I only find one sometimes a truck load. His Quota is another symbol used by the writer. Her eyes burn with torture, this Mexican woman from the boarder who is being threatened by the patrol police. He is cruel and abuses his power; in the middle of nowhere he has made himself the law. This torture she feels is for her and her people, her eyes feel it see and live
