The history tell us about a boy living in the 50s, or 60s when the Mexican market started to receive American products.. it uses a lot of mexicanisms and it may represent the way that the poor Mexican people lived, and had a completely different way of living.

It uses a lot of events of that time, and for example all the incense and the way of living of Carlos, may represent the incense of Mexico at that time.. and the way it started receiving all the capitalism ideas from USA.

The main value that we can see in the story is the way he talks about his friends and family (psychological), and how it doesn't change even with the new ideas.

The other interesting thing is the way the classical houses were being destroyed, for making apartment buildings.

An interesting value that Carlos experiments is the Love, when he fell in love (emotional) of his best friend mother, and that was really scandalous because of the moral that Mexico experimented at that days.

Now a days is very curious to see how the things were that days, and is interesting to see that they thought that all these things we have everyday and use, were strange that days.

There are other values ​​(or antivalues) like, the Japanese guy, that had to tolerate the jokes of his mates (social), or the brother.. a very dum guy, the corruption, the father that talked with Carlos about he being inlove of Mariana, is full of antivales, but I think it is because of the way of living of that time.
