Improved Essays
Register to read the introduction… Mexico is divided by class , meaning they are divided in sections by how much money they make. This class is rated either low, medium, and high. High class people are rich and really don’t associate with low class because of their reputation. About all the high class people work in office buildings , are actors, or have their own business. The middle class people are more on owning big Acers of land for plantation. They do associate with low class and upper class. For low class people they own a ranch . Since they only have enough money to buy the ecocides they plant their food, and they also raise animals for food and money. Low class associates with middle class and will try upper class just to see if they will give a hand out. From what I have seen the low and middle class work twice as much as the upper class. So that’s the life style of every Mexican

    There's a deeper reflection that existed in the act of telling stories of any kind. Growing up as child the entailment of small talk and tall tales act as a mean to develop the ability to express ourselves in an understanding fashion. The necessary skill of making ourselves known to the world becomes a strong element in gaining a step forward in a direction without guidances. Cisneros “wipes out any illusion of life-likeness, revealing the fictive from of the text” on how the facts incorporated in the novel set the setting as a distorted illusion to reality (Salvucci 170).

These groups quickly gained a bad reputation and because of this many were quick to attack these “Zoot Suiters”.…

Stern explores why and how the Latina/o family can sometimes negatively impact the students voyage towards college.

    I’m Mexican, I was born in Mexico but then brought over here to the US when I was around 3 years old. My whole family was born in Mexico and I’m the youngest child which means that all of my brothers and sister grew up for most of their childhood in Mexico and my oldest sister even got married over there.

My mother is a strong believer in continuing cultural traditions even if we are in a different place.

    Growing up in Mexico, I didn't have the best of everything. I had and still have a hard working family, but as a kid, I would always see my parents struggling to put food on our table for my siblings and myself. To this date, every time I am in contact with my relatives in Mexico they always tell me how much people struggle to provide a living for their families, especially when there is really no place to work or any resources that can help them out with such needs. As of now, life has been treating me well; I have a wonderful wife, an amazing 2 year old son and a baby that is soon to be due and a great job! My motivation to do this mission trip is by putting myself in the shoes of all those people that have to struggle every day and night to…
