Esperanza and Mama are worried because Papa is late returning home.

"Mama, the neighbors warned him just last night about bandits." pg 11

"They both knew that even though it was 1930, and the revolution in Mexico had been over for ten years, there was still resentment against the large landowners.

pg. 12
