c.
“I

“Sally,
you lied; it wasn’t what you said at all.”
E wasn’t okay with everything that happened, but she and Sally had
talked about it before.

“dirty
fingernails; sour breath; moon watching; boys ran away”—he raped her, and there
were all these witnesses
f.
“He
wouldn’t let me go.”
g.
Maybe
no definitive evidence, but she was definitely sexually assaulted.
h.
“Don’t
make me tell it all.”—so maybe we’re not supposed to know for sure.

one who grabbed me by the arm and wouldn’t let me go.”--force

8.
How
many boy(s) were involved?
9.
Is
Esperanza actually talking to Sally, or is this chapter just E. talking to us?

The
“big boy” is the one Sally went off with.
