Hernandez loses his translation job, but he is vehemently opposed to "the welfare." When his wife asks him if he would let his kids starve rather than beg from the government, he turns red and doesn't answer. Why do you think Manny's father scorns welfare?
(1-2 paragraphs)
The title <i>Parrot in the Oven</i> comes from this reference on page 51 - 52: "<i>Perico</i>, or parrot, was what Dad called me sometimes. It was from a Mexican saying about a parrot that complains how hot it is in the shade, while all along he's sitting inside an oven." Manny explains that his father doesn't think he's dumb, just too quick to trust people. Why do you think Mr. Hernandez might think so? Can you find any evidence that Manny is too trusting?
(2 paragraphs)
Manny often describes his voice as sounding like a whine or like a girl's voice. On page 181, he sees his reflection in a glass door and sees "the reflection of a ridiculous boy, a clumsy boy." On page 210 after Eddie steals a woman's purse, Manny says he finally recognizes who he really should be. How does Manny perceive himself compared to his friends? His family? Does he change during the course of the book? If so, how?
