Summary
Nearing the end of the book they discussed about Leonel , the current president of the Dominican Republic. His background and childhood was discussed and how at first he was loved by the Dominicans. ( Now Leonel is not really liked, and people want him to be replaced. When I went for vacation my aunt was telling me how he is doing nothing and watching them fall apart). In addition the book talked about how even though they had their differences they managed to get along better at one point . They celebrated by having carnivals, and "patronales" which is the name of get togethers held in Dominican Republic. They have a few days of fun in which they dance, eat and forget all the bad things. They settled their differences by combining together, despite how much they pretty much hated eachother.Although after this event everything goes back to normal . The ending wasnt really what I expected but this is pretty much it.

Reaction
The reaction I had to this part was a big smile on my face becuase finally the haitians and dominicans are looking past their diffrences. I honestly think it is stupid that the dominicans and haitians cna have so many problems when they are basicly neighboors. They make the problems get bigger instead of trying to actually fix them. The only time you;d see them blending in together would be during the carbnivals thta only lasted one day.
I believe that if the dominicans and haitians stop fighting then it would be a better enviroment for both parties.
