Patria is motivated to an absolute extent to join the revolution because of her doubts on her religious beliefs. According to the quote, “I don’t know if that’s how it started, but pretty soon, I was praying to him, not because he was worthy or anything like that. I wanted something from him, and prayer was the only way I knew to ask” (Alvarez 202). In the beginning, religion was something Patria submerged in to but, as the revolution starts to progress, she started having doubts about her religion. The phrase, ” I was praying to him, not because he was worthy or anything like that. I wanted something from him, and prayer was the only way I knew to ask” It illustrates that Patria is praying to Trujillo asking whether who is behind all the corruption happened in her society. Her way of praying to Trujillo can help free her family. This action illustrates the motivation and courage of her to fight against the revolution.
