Never Marry a Mexican

I like this story a lot. It is filled with a lot of descriptive writing and builds pictures of reality. I think I like the begining of the story the most though. When she was describing her culture and how her family was nothing like that. She blamed her life for her mother's negativity against her own culture. In the end, she was just like her mother. She was having an affair with a married man. She was alone and scared. She was the cat lady in a poor neighborhood. She never lived the life she wanted too, she lived in the shadows of he mother's mistakes and was not able to start her own life after she moved out. Most girls do just the opposite of what their mother tells them to do. All mothers want their little girls to find a nice boy with lots of money and a good job that can support them in life. But the main character's mother limited her choices of good men out there and stereotyped them destroying her daughter's persona of men. I enjoyed this story and I hope everyone else did too.
