Antonio is Alienated

Antonio is Alienated I believe that in the novel Bless Me, Ultima Antonio is an alienated individual. He doesn’t seem to act like any of the other kids his age and has been through so much more then they have. For example, Antonio is torn between making his mother happy and becoming a priest, or making his father happy and becoming a cowboy type figure. He also has experienced a lot of death in …

…obviously possesses something that makes him so different. Ultima and him get along almost too well for them not to share in powers. Antonio’s mind is too mature for his age, his maturity is greater than his parents, his sibling, and especially his friends. Antonio’s ability to predict the future in his dreams is shockingly amazing and scary. This should make you think that this young man is not an average human being.
