In the novel
gods go begging by Alfredo Vea, the author presents this character "Jesse" who's an attorney, that faces different obstacles with his patients, that relates to different situations he's experienced. The main plot starts off about this two women named, Persephone and Mai, who were wives of men in the army, they came together, as relations, so they wouldn't be lonely. They owned a restaurant called, The Amazon Luncheonette, and they were both found killed in front. Jesse is also a veteran of the army. Jesse covers their case, and finds out that Persephone is the wife of A.B. Flyer, who was Jesse's Sergeant. Jesse's other case, with his client, Calvin "biscuit boy", was an overwhelming discovery when he found out that, Calvin used to steal biscuit's from the Amazon Luncheonette, because he always wanted to see Mai, and they thought he was the murderer, because Mai would always deny him and kick him out.

I would relate this book to myself, because everything happens for a reason. I can face one obstacle in my life, and twenty years later, here is the obstacle again, but I've learned from the first situation, so I better myself from the second. People have wars within themselves, that's why we give each other hard times, and we don't accept things right away. Every one can overcome difficult situations, if they accept themselves. We have to learn to love ourselves, before we can love some one else. We all come from different circumstances, but that doesn't give us the reason to hate one another. We all need to accept the fact that everybody in the world goes through difficult situations, and we, as the people, need to grow and become more knowledgeable. Just because, your situation is different from mine, doesn't make you superior to me. We are all human beings, and nothing separates us from that.
