Conclusion to the Story

Part 4:
Great thoughts, Brenda and Navid! Interesting how such three apprehensive young boys get enough bravery to somehow walk through fire. As Brenda said, Gardo was the one with his best foot forward throughout the story. He stepped up to the challenge and went ahead with the Marco "arrangement". Mouths must have dropped in Marco's reaction to Gardo. His attempt of getting Gardo caught was priceless. What type of person must you be if you rat someone out even after they do exactly what you wanted?

The newspapers were extremely opinionated. You can tell the writers were standing on one side of the argument. All 4 of the newspapers described the naive thinking of their Vice-President Senator, Regis Zapanta. I almost thought there was going to be some sort of riot, that involved only the publishers, which didn't end up happening.
Yes I've seen Castle, Brenda. I can see your point, both the show and the events in Trash have similar quick paced actions. They both take a short time to figure out their next step of the case. Definitely a connection there.
Media should most certainly be pushed as far away from you as possible. There's no need to have opinionated people scanning and filtering out all the details of your life, especially if you were someone that's in great danger.
Part 5:
I was very happy for the group at their retrieving the Bible. Now they were able to read the letter with little difficulty. The only issue: how to read it. With a matter of time, Raphael found a pattern that they all later agreed to. After officially reading the letter, the navigation to the location of the money was very emotional for all the boys. When finally finding the burial place of I felt sorry for Rat for feeling so let down. He knew it was for the best, but they ended up finding Pia (in life) standing, waiting for her father. That to me, was profound shock.

After the quick rescue, they ended up finding the coffin with all the cash just sitting there. Rat has also seemed to want to be called Jun-Jun instead. This name change, in my opinion states that he has become a new person. Not just through his actions, but through his eyes because he seems to be looking at the world differently now. He's no longer the invisible kid that hangs around asking for change in a country he never belonged in. He's now Jun-Jun, the boy with new eyes.

The last chapter war truly heart-felt, along with the letter that explained everything. Knowing the gratitude that the boys had for the writers of previous chapters was inspiring. They threw the backpacks of money in the air, the wind casually taking the money to the poverty-filled streets of Bahala. Then, there was a chapter explaining their living conditions now, living their dream-like they never had before.

The Three Musketeers, I'd call them. Raphael, Gardo, and Jun-Jun.
They might have been three young boys once living in poverty..now they're three young men, showing us how to read between the lines.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, we don't have much left. :DD
