Can you help me find quotes from the book tortilla curtain?

Question

i need important quotes from the book and the person who said it the occasion

Answer 1

I have searced the sites with reviews and study guides = I'm not sure, not having read the book, are the statistics and newspaper write ups part of the book?

I did find this question in a study guide = and it does have some quotes by Delaney =

Here is the question

The symbol of the coyote appears throughout the novel and represents illegal Mexican immigrants. In his nature column, Delaney writes, "The coyote is not to blame—he is only trying to survive, to make a living, to take advantage of the opportunities available to him." He concludes the same column by writing, "The coyotes keep coming, breeding up to fill in the gaps, moving in where the living is easy. They are cunning, versatile, hungry and unstoppable." How do these passages reflect Delaney's mixed feelings about illegal immigrants? Is he a hypocrite? As the novel progresses, Delaney's humanistic beliefs give way to racism and resentment, and he directs his rage at all illegal immigrants onto Cándido. When confronted with evidence that Cándido is not the vandal at Arroyo Blanco, he destroys it. Why does Delaney need to believe that the vandal is Cándido? How does Delaney evolve from being a "liberal humanist" to a racist?

If the newspaper write ups are part of the book = then all the sites are quoting them.

Hope this helps

If you type Tortilla Curtain in your web browser there are lots of sites for review = perhaps if you check out the different chapters there may be some quotes.

Good luck
