Drown junot diaz summary sparknotes5/9/2023 ![]() When the family arrives at Tío Miguel and Tía Yrma's apartment, Tío Miguel is the first to greet them. He punishes Yunior by jamming a finger into Yunior's cheek and the family drives the rest of the way to the Bronx in silence. However, once they cross the George Washington bridge, Yunior begins to "feel woozy" and he soon throws up out of the car window to Papi's great irritation. ![]() The car ride begins smoothly enough, which causes Papi to loosen up. He warns Yunior that he better not get sick in the car. He quickly gets angry when Mami tells him that she fed the children because Yunior gets carsick whenever they have a car trip. He arrives at six, right after work, and wordlessly goes straight to the shower to clean the evidence of his Puerto Rican mistress off his body. On the day of the party, the family has dressed up nicely and is waiting for Papi to come home. It is clear that time has passed between this story and the previous one because the family is living in the United States and Yunior mentions his little sister, Madai, who was born after the family immigrated to the US. This short story begins with Yunior explaining that his aunt and uncle have moved to the United States and the family has decided to celebrate their arrival. ![]()
