Bless me Ultima #7 Chapter 7-8

Chapter 7 starts off by talking about the war being over, this means that Tony's three brothers will soon be coming back from the war, and likewise they come back. Their names are Leon, Eugene and Andrew. At the end of this chapter Tony says that his brothers have came back and that now his household is complete. What i found interesting about this chapter is how Tony mentions that his brothers came back completely different people, they are his dads most prized possesion because they helped build the house they are in, and now he was going to be able to have them home again.

Chapter eight, "I sensed their restlessness, and i began to understand why the blood of spring is called the bad blood. It was bad not because it brought growth, that was good, but because it raised from dark interiors the restless wild urges that lay sleeping all winter. It revealed hidden desires to the light of the new warm sun" Pg. 65. He is talking about his three brothers, and how the war has affected their sleep. I find it very interesting how Anaya mentions war a lot, especially the after math of war and what it does to people. Tony's father has a dream to move to California with his family, already Eugene and Leon are starting to argue with their father saying they need to go their own path! I feel bad for the dad because his sons have just came back from a near death experience and they now want to leave again. This reminds me of my dad and his dad because when my dad used to live in Mexico, he was the only one who helped out his dad, so when he chose to come to the US, it devastated his father,
