This scene was very confusing; inevitable yet surprising. I knew that it was going to come the time that Hank was going to get lonely in prison and since Alice was the only female at the time that could visit him, seeing as Della was also incarcerated, it was getting heated, in the sense that Hank and Alice must have started to feel something for eachother if they were constantly fighting eachother, and the love that Alice had for Hank was begging to show. Aside from having feelings for each other the appeal was beginning to reach a breakthrough and various events were beginning to unfold.
"The appeal, the case, all the shit you do you think the public gives a goddamn?" pg. 83
Hank says this to Alice while he is still incarcerated and having difficulty deciding on whether or not to believe anything anymore, he is still trying to overcome his feeling of despair. I bleieve that Hank, at the time, was having a lot of trouble deciding wether or not what Alice and George were doing was to be trusted or not, and he said this out of uncertainty, seeing how all the Pachucos were being treated at the time.

This quote is important in understanding Hank's view on how everything was begining to unfold. He still believed that there was no support, and that there was no hope for him and the boys, nothing was going to go thier way.
QUESTION: Did this sleepy lagoon case have a big part to play in the riots that were happening on the outside?
