Chapter 6 described the communication between SOLDIER BOY and MEXICAN PLUG. What is Plug? It is not defined in this chapter, but I think PLUG is a kind of donkey or horse. Anyway, in this chapter, the SOLDIER BOY and MEXICAN PLUG cheat to each other. There are some points in this chapter. First of all, the MEXICAN PLUG praises the Soldier Boy’s name. After that, SOLDIER BOY talked about the Cathy. Cathy taught SOLDIER BOY how to salute. Moreover, in the racing competition situation, Cathy didn’t want to accept any favor and unfair situation. At that paragraph, Cathy disclosed her chastity and lovely. The Second part, they talk about the Shekels, his father was a coyote and his mother was a wild-cat. They try to define what kind of animal it is. From dog through poultry to reptile, they discussed a lot about each kind of characteristics.
Horse is back from this chapter. With their conversation, the Mexican plug can be say a lowest level in the society and Soldier boy is the aristocrat, but Mexican still full of different knowledge. Although every one will give soldier boy the better valuation, the Mexican plug still has his advantage. Of course, some advantage is by birth. We can not help them or change them. A nice natural although can help us to success. We still need to learn. Just like Soldier Boy, he still need to learn salute and polite. Because of his will perform, he got the praise. The praise does not just depend on the birth, but also on the performance. Therefore, we must know that we should cultivate the correct behaviors for esteem from others.
