I do agree with Austin that this woman has great courage. She has a great compassion for these people to be risking her life for.
Austin mentions a horse in his post. I've noticed that there are several references to horses, though I haven't figured out the symbolism yet. For example, Alberto teaches a student how to fly, explaining, "The airplane is just like a horse. You have to be firm but gentle..." (pg. 84-85) In another reference, a man leaves Cuba riding a horse with flippers attached to its hoofs.(pg. 80) Maybe the symbolism is the want for freedom is as strong as a horse.

Interesting, Aubrey. I had not thought about the horse imagery. Everything is there for a reason, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Your interpretation works, though. Good!
