In the second half of the book Marcos changes his narrative to storytelling, and we gain a better image of Marcos personality. We see that Marcos is very aware of who he is and what is duty is in his group. His stories makes him become more “human” and less of a mysterious person in a mask.

I found it funny to see that he recognizes that the children even see him as a man with a big nose “I pretend to be offended because Heriberto argues that my nose is just like the duck’s bill.” A little after this part of the text he tells us how the children whine for candy and he becomes overwhelmed. The children must see him as a friendly person they can approach and someone who is calm. He care for the children, just as how he was concerned about getting one of the little girls a birthday gift, and even writes out stories to the children. He is not just someone with a voice who takes action, but an individual who cares for those around him and takes his responsibility seriously.

I think it was rather interesting that he chose to create a beetle as one of his main characters when telling stories to the children. Durito serves the purpose to keep the children engaged because it is not human, but also a funny characters because he is so small. In most of the stories Durito speaks with Marcos and they exchange stories. These stories are meant to have a greater meaning and sometimes the moral of the story is directly stated at the end. The Story of the Tiny Mouse and the Tiny Cat was a little strange. I didn’t quite understand what the point of the story was, perhaps missed opportunity? Taking out the machine gun to kill the tiny cat was rather drastic, for it to only to see all his effort was wasted with the food all spoiled. Even the story of  The Tale of the Lime with an Identity Crisis took a minute for me to understand how exactly the moral fit the story that what told. In most of his stories they take on a different perspective of thinking and analysis. At the end of The Story ofthe Magic Chocolate Bunnies (Neoliberalism, a Rabbit’s Libido, and the Children) he even asks questions that he wants the reader the answer, with the last questions directed at women. These questions all relate back to what kind of world do they want to create, starting with what kind of children they hope to raise.
