Jack London
One aspect of, "The Mexican," that kind of went over my head was the allusion to Rivera being, "dead," or, "not human." I'm not sure if that was just placed in there to throw us off that he was actually a good person or contain some sort of deeper implication, but it seemed a little strange to me. I saw that the spark in his eye made him more human than most. Any thoughts?

That's an interesting point in the story, Chris. Rivera is seen almost as a beast both because of white racism and because he hides his thoughts. They can't conceive of someone who is as passionate as he is about the revolution. He is more human, as you say, but they don't see it.
