Why didn't Bodega want the man that Chino was talking to to know his name?
In "Bodega Dreams" Chino and Bodega are on there way to go see Vera. They are walking threw Spanish Harlem and a man comes up to Chino telling him that he saw him with Nazario and that he wanted him to tell Nazario thank you. He also told Chino to tell Bodega thank you. Chino introduced Bodega as Jose Tapia to the man. Bodega does not want people to know who he is because he does not want people to disrespect him. Bodega told Chino "But if you see God he wont seem that powerful anymore" (111). I agree with this quote because if people really knew who Bodega was he wouldn't seem so powerful no more. He would just seem like a random guy that walks around the neighborhood like other people. He would be treated like Nazario is. That is not what Bodega really wants.
why is bodega so unhappy when he has so much money.
the reason bodega is mad is because he has been rejected by the one he loves. in this chapter bodega and chino are talking to each other and chino is trying to make bodega go through with going to see vera they have the conversation near ps.72 and the conversation is about why bodega should go see vera. "bodega was ripping away at vera,then at women in general"this quote shows that bodega is un happy and he dosent wanna go see vera this also shows that even though hes rich he still has problems of his own.
Good question! Proofread for errors in spelling/grammar/punctuation and CAPITALIZATION!!! Give more of an explanation for why he says this quote. You mostly explain how and where he says it, rather than why. 7/10
Why did Bodega sent Sapo to kill Salazer and who did he worked for?
In “Bodega Dreams” Bodega sent Sapo to kill Salazer because he worked for Aaron Fischman. Aaron Fischman ran his own neighborhood in Harlem. Bodega and Fischman had made an agreement to back away from each other. Salazer was putting the piece together about Bodega. Bodega said that “ he’s gonna get all this shit together on me, ignore Fischman. Salazer was almost there, too. He only needed a few more pieces, and he would have called all this attention to me.” This led to Bodega sending Sapo to kill Salazer so Bodega would not get expos by Salazer.
Why did Nazario take Chino to a museum and what was the mean of going to the museum?
In “ Bodega Dreams” Nazario take Chino to a salsa museum but not to see framed gold records and instruments but to see the bigger picture. Nazario start to talk with the owner about his daughter. They kept talking about the man’s daughter, who started med school. Naraio wants Chino to see something else. Chion was think about what Nazario said and Chino told him “ it was the man’s daughter. The girl who got into med school, I asked Nazario, she’s in Bodega’s program? That’s right. I was hoping she was around. I wanted her to talk to you. About what? I asked, because I was just catching on that with Nazario and Bodega you had see the big picture.” This led to Chino understand why Nazario and Bodega plan for the neighborhood.
Why does the author mean by calling Nazario a chameleon?
Nazario changes around different people. He changes his personality depending who hes around to blend in , kind of 2 face. "I could already see that Nazario was a chameleon" he said this because he changed his personality when he was around bodega than when he was around chino or sapo. "Nazario were black holes...he inspired but at the same time intimidated me" this shows that chino was inspired by nazario for all the good things he did in life but also questioned him when it came to buisness cause he was like kind of a low key criminal even though he was lawyer he used the people around him to do his dirty work since he already has expeirence.

Chino didnt ask nazario what he was up to because nazario wouldnt tell him anything so he just decided to wait and ask bodega himself. " if i asked nazario anything he would do a that lawyer thing on me say a million things while telling me nothing." This shows that chino asked Nazario would say anything he was just try to make chino forget about the topic with a million different other topics. "But i decided to wait and ask bodega himself" this shows chino felt more comfortable with bodega to ask him. " i could tell something else was happening. Something was in the dark. Something that worried Nazario enough that he wanted to do anything he could to keep bodega calm and happy." This shows that nazario got his own thing going on and wouldnt tell chino why but chino was catching up cause he still had bodega to tell him.

Why is it that willie doesnt want Ebarito to know his name?
In the book Bodega Dreams by Ernesto Quinonez, Willie and Chino are walking to chinos house to get dressed to go to Veras School. Suddenly, a guy named Ebarito stops Chino and Bodega to leave Chino a message. He wanted Chino to tell Willies Bodega that he owes him. Mind you Bodega was with Chino at the time, but he didnt want him to know his name. It says in the book,"...And tell Mr. Nazario I owe Willie Bodega"" Bodega quickly motioned to me not to say a word. Not to introduce him as Willie Bodega." This quote shows how Willie does not want his identity to be recognized by other people. This also shows how Bodega does his business secretly.
You don't actually answer your own question about WHY Willie doesn't want Chino to introduce him. You merely summarize the scene. Make an inference about WHY he does this. 7/10
(LEWIS SEWELL)The reason chino Is involved in all this is because bodega wants chino to help him because he's a close friend .and he's can trust and that he knows him very well in this chapter chino and bodega are going together to pick up vera. "chino,you cant leave. you have to be there with me,bro" this shows that bodega needs him there because it comforts him that a close friend is nearby and at his side.
Why didn’t Bodega want the guy to know his name and who he was?
Bodega and Chino were walking to go over to Ps.72 to go see Vera’s speech. While they were walking, a guy stopped by to talk to Chino. While they were talking, the guy mentioned Bodega’s name and didn’t know Bodega was around. Bodega motioned to Chino to tell him that he was Bodega, instead Chino mentioned him as Jose Tapia. The guy says “And tell Mr.Nazario I owe Willie Bodega… Not to introduce him as Willie Bodega...Introduced him as Bodega as Jose Tapia”(110). This shows that Bodega doesn’t want to be introduced as himself and was introduced by another name. Chino didn’t know why he didn’t want to be introduced as himself but followed Bodega’s order and not tell him that he is Willie Bodega.
Bodega and Chino are watching Vera give her speech in PS.72. Chino then realizes that he feels like everything was set-up so that Bodega has someone part of her family to be there. Also he thinks that Bodega paid the school to name the auditorium so that he can see her or Nazario paid her flight to give a speech so that Bodega has a chance to marry her so that she can leave her husband that she was forced to marry by mother. Chino says “All this time, I had been set up. It had been Bodega who had donated the money to Vera’s old school…”(112). This shows that Chino feels used that Bodega set him up just so that he can meet Vera. Also this shows that Chino is being used by Bodega because instead of helping renovating and making plans about the future of the neighborhood, he is using Chino to get him closer to a person that he has been in love with for years.
Before Chino and Bodega went to the school to meet up with Vera, Bodega and chino starded smoking. Than Bodega got high and starded talking bad thing about Vera even if he didn't mean it. Will Bogeda walks with chino to meet up with Vera, Bodega start talking things like why she left with that man if she told him that she love him. In the story Bodega say's, "He lit up and took one drag. Then another. Thass right. You're right chino. He looked at me with bravado, took a third drag, put out the cigarette. You're right. Let's go see this bitch and show bet what a fucken mistake she made. That bitch! That fucken, fucken bitch. Why'd she leave in the first place? She never wanted him, she always wanted me. And now she can't have me." In this quote, it show's the way Bodega is acting before he went to meet up with Vera. Also it show's how Bodega is insulting Vera even if she's not there. On the other hand, it show's how Bodega let everything out before he meet up with Vera.
Chino wants to leave bodega because he already did his part of the deal. Chino told bodega to give him a 2 bedroom apartment and he will get him vera and that was the deal with bodega. According to the book Chino said "Hey man you said for me to find Vera and i did she's right there and now i'm gone and we're even right? I'm your tenant you'll have my rent on time and thass it.Chino is saying that he wanted to leave because he told bodega that was part of the deal to get him the love of his life witch is vera and bodega to get him a 2 bedroom apartment.
Why was Chino mad when he was waiting with Nazario for Vera
Chino says he was mad because Willie didn't want to wait for Vera with Nazario and Chino. But he actually was mad because he knew the were hiding something from him. Chino is Bodegas friend and Bodega wants to meet vera because he still has feelings for her. Vera and Willie are going to meet at a school. Chino says '' Hey man, Bodega has waited more than twenty years , a few hours wont kill him.'' This quote is showing how chino reacted but he actually was mad because he knew they were hiding something from him and it shows it in the quote that says '' Truth was I was angry because I was in the dark''.
