Can someone give some meaningful quotes from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza? Thanks!

From the text:

"Unlike people who are born in hospitals, in an ambulance, or in a taxicab I showed up in an adobe cottage with a thatched roof that stood at one end of the only street in Jalcocotbn, which everybody called Jalco for short." pg. 3

"Coronel was standing on one foot, erect and watchful, under the willow. I knew something that he didn't - that people were talking about him as the only gallo that had ever beaten up a zopilote - something to be proud of even if a zopilote was, in some fashion, chicken." pg. 32

"She looked me up and down and said: 'Not this boy. He is not poor. He is wearing shoes.' Another boy from our barrio was turned away because he was wearing a pressed cotton suit and new sandals. There was an argument between our chaperone and the guards. They were adamant: we were not poor and we could not go in." pg. 162
