Some differences include the targets or end goals of the two pieces, major points, and the major moments in the two works of literature. In The Tortilla Curtain the target is to survive and accomplish the typical “American dream”, which includes having a safe place to live where Cándido’s whole family can live and he can raise his children. The authors target for the book was to make readers more aware of who could possibly be living next to them.

The role of supermarket having control on consumer spending is discussed in four different ways in literature. First, is the pricing strategies that are used in the supermarkets to trick consumers into thinking they are getting a good deal. Article 2 stated that “price is unquestionably one of the most important marketplace cues” (234).
