1. Does the way Diego's mom acts affect his anger? Do you think there will come a point were he hit his mom?
2.Does Diego seem annoyed of Vidas bringing up Mac?
3. Why do you think Diego reacts when Vidas asked him if Mac touched him? When vidas states "What they don't talk out, they end up acting out" how does that relate to Diego?
4. Did Diego's reaction to Vidas pating him surprise Vidas?Do you think that reaction gives a clue to Diego's problem?Do you think Diego was actally going to punch Vidas?
5.With Diego cuting himself again under the probation contract, was it a step back to controlling his anger?

I think Diego reacted violently when Vidas asked him if Mac had touched him because he was trying to conceal what had actually happened. I think that acting like that gave him the opportunity to bury his past and instead focus on the argument, something he is quite good at. That is why his anger controls him, because he is not ready to face the consequences that the event that happened in his past had and will have. Until he is ready to face it, he will continue to bury it as much as he can because that way he does not have to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteYou guys had really good questions that led to a good discussion, I liked it a lot!!!
I do think that Vidas pating him was a clue to something else. It might be a clue to why he doesn't like being called a "faggot".
