It was the first film directly addressing not only the issues identified with the Mexican society but also Mexican cinema itself. From here, the attributes of Mexican cinema were perpetually replaced.

An hour with abuelo by Judith Ortiz Cofer describes a boy changing his perspective about his grandfather. “Just one hour una hora, is all i’m asking of you son.” (Judith cofer 592) That shows us that he does not think too fondly of his grandfather. “I walk slowly down the hall toward the exit sign. I want my mother to have to wait a little.” (Judith cofer 596) This shows us that he had a good time. Another piece of evidence that supports this question is “Anyway, after my mother nags me for about a week, I let her drive me up to golden years.” (Judith cofer 592)This piece of text shows that he hated his grandfather because he only let her mom drive him there after weeks of begging. A quote that states he liked him is “I liked it all” (Judith

From the essay “ Se Habla Espanol” by Tania Barrientos in the Norton Field Guide to Writings with Readings, I found that the author born in 1960 just like me, also, her family and my family are Hispanics, as a result, she and I face stereotypes fitting into two cultures.

El Patron needs a new heart and Matt is the only supplier. He wants to believe that the old man loves and would never kill him; nevertheless, he has to face the truth. On page 218 it states, “No matter how treacherous El Patron had been, Matt loved the old man.” Discovering that El Patron only needs Matt for spare parts crushes the boy. He feels that his “accomplishments were a sham. It didn’t matter how intelligent he was” (216). Maria, Matt's childhood friend, tries to help him escape from the clutches of El Patron.

The walls would shake, and when he said Amen it was if a wolf was in church. (Imitating him) Ameeeen! (She begins coughing)

With his help, the siblings were introduced with Monte, a guy who provided cheap home and shadow job market. Because they worked with other illegal immigrants, they weren’t treated badly.
