Long Answer
1. Homes in The Circuit are symbolic of stability, financial security, and often of poverty, particularly in descriptions of the homes the Jiménez family occupies. Before arriving in California, Roberto and the narrator see their cousin Fito’s apartment in Guadalajara as symbolic of Fito’s financial success and stability because he has things like electricity and heat. Later, the homes the Jiménez family occupies in various cities in California become symbolic of the ways in which they lack this financial security. In these homes, a lack of electricity and incidents like a devastating fire are symbolic of the Jiménez family’s instability and constant financial insecurity.
