The Monarch Butterfly, known to have a seasonal migration from Mexico and the U.S., symbolizes the migration of the Mexican farm workers, like Gonzalez's family, who migrate back and forth from Mexico to the U.S. every season.
"Butterfly" also has two meanings in Spanish; the first meaning is the winged insect that probably comes first to mind, but a second meaning in the Spanish culture is also a label for gay men.
