In Response to Matt's Blog 10

I also found the Winn book to be somewhat enjoyable to read. He actually used real quotes and sometimes it read closer to a story of the Yarur workers rather than the Chilean Revolution. In regards to the three patrons of the mill, they cracked me up as well. I wish that it went more into detail about Jorge Yarur's mill and if it was filled with the same distrust and scared atmosphere that was found under Amador. At least Jorge knew he was not going to get away with the fake "father" image. Amador himself cracked me up as well. It was almost like he was a mob boss with all of his informers and strong-arm squads. I do not understand why he thought he was going to be able to stay in power. It also makes me wonder what would have happened in Juan had not died when he did and was faced with the problems seen in Jorge and Amador's times. Would things have been much different?
