Instantly we see the bond of two older brothers right off the bat with the story; although it takes a while with detail to get that full amount of information. The narrator idolizes his older brother as most of us tend to do with an older sibling that doesn't beat the crap out of us daily. they would pick on us all the time; but they and we always had a soft spot for one another because we were the same blood.
The narrator at first feels sorry for Ysrael, stating that he used to throw rocks at the person. But the narrator always had a respect for Ysrael, because when this would happen; he would out-run any tormentor in his path. the two brother's begin their gig on Ysrael, the narrator pretending to be sick, and the older brother playing the stronger role; but none of them are truly intelligent. After they bate Ysrael into their plan, the older brother, Rafa proceeds to beat the crap out of Ysrael for no apparent reason. None other than to exacerbate the "male dominance, protector or territory" role that has plagued much of man kind over the centuries. Why do some of us continue to behave in such a manner?
