Bombing and gunfire are in this chapter and it frightens Carlos and his family. This is the beginning of a rude awakening of the communism in Cuba. Also, Carlos and his friend are picking flowers and cars pull up and begin shooting each other. The police question Carlos and this scares Carlos because he's afraid that they are going to take him off to jail just like they did to Fernando and Filo.
Fernando's experiences in jail were really scary and saddening. It's even more sad that they would tell Filo that the gunshots he was hearing were his son being shot. This, along with other experiences, makes Filo go mentally insane and changes him as a person forever.
