Jaime+and+Esteban

It was very sad in this chapter when Jaime died. He was one of the only sensible characters in this book and he died in a horrible way. Jaime was killed by the people Esteban supported to overthrow the government. It was also interesting how Esteban never knew that Jaime was such good friends with the President. Furthermore, for the first time in his life, Esteban admited that he was wrong. He had supported the general and the miliary for them to overthrow the socialist and reclaim the government for democracy. However, once the military overthrew the socialist, they took control of the country and made it a military dictatorship. Esteban thought that the military was the only solution to defeating the socialist, but he admited he was wrong. He even cried over it, but he wasn't crying because he specifically had lost power; he was crying for his country. This is one of the very few times Esteban shows emotion for anything.
