Los Vendidos


This play is by Luis Valdez, it talks about a group of people that are called chicanos that criticize the mexicans that believe they are americans, like Señorita Jiménez. The play is about that lady and her desire to buy machines that look Mexican - Americans. The seller presents every model with mexican characteristics. Until this part, I didn't like the story very much because I thought it was humiliating and had a lot of stereotypes. 

The end is the best part because it takes a big unexpected turn. After the lady bought the mexican-american model, the models take the money and the lady escapes. Also, now we know that all are humans except of the sales man. The author made me think that the americans just see us like merchandise and machines, and I didn't like it. Even though,  at the end we were more intelligent than the americans.
