                                                                “Taming Macho Ways” By Elvia Alvarado

        In the article “Taming Macho Ways” by Elvia Alvarado, she explains that Campecinas work harder than men during the day. Women do work before men wake up, women have to prepare the meals for the men and bring it to the men in the field, but after that women still working in their houses. Women often work more than men but there are some jobs that women can’t do only because men are stronger. When men get home after work they want their foods  to be ready and rest the rest of the day when women have continue working, taking care of their children and get ready for the next day. Even when women go to sleep they don’t get to rest, if the family have babies the women have to take care of them. In the city men do help women but it never happens in a campecino house. Woman and man should help each other but sometimes the men don’t even support the family, they spend the money in liquor to get drunk and this even worst because when men get drunk, they lose sense of dignity and they hit their wives and children. Women want to stop campecionos from drinking but government isn’t interested in stopping it. Women want to build a new society by changing the way men and women treat each other. Men have to be more responsible and support their families and resolve their own problems by themselves.

Critical thinking questions

1, Does the government knows what happen in a campecino house?

2, Does the campeciono Women have rights?

     One day in the evening after work, my friends and I decided to go to an Italian restaurant, we headed to the nearest restaurant. When we got to the restaurant, asked for a table for three, the waiter greeted us kindly and he gave us the menu to order the food and the waiter recommended us the specialty of the house but we decided to order the food from the menu. I said to my friend Jason "why don't you try the spaghetti portofino?" and Jason said "ok, i want to try this", also i asked to my friend Susan "what would you like to eat?" and i told her, "do you want to try the chicken parmesan?" but i didn't know that Susan was vegetarian and Susan said, "i just want to eat a salad" she looked at the menu and decided to order the spinach salad, and i decided to order the chicken picatta. The waiter took the orders and while we were waiting for our food other people came into the restaurant including a couple, they sat next to our table and also ordered their food.

       After a moment we got our food and we started eating, Jason said "this food is delicious", Susan also liked her salad and said "mmm this is delicious too". I also liked my food and i said to them, "we made a good decision to come to this place”. While we were eating Susan said, "Look at the couple next to us" when i looked at them, the waiter was having an argument with the couple Jason said "i think is about the food" because the couple were really angry with the waiter and everyone were watching the couple. Susan got scared and said "we better go to somewhere else" Jason also said "yeah, we better finish eating then go to somewhere else". i had no choice and we finished eating then we pay the food and later on we left the restaurant, Susan said to us, "you guys think that the problem between the couple and the waiter was solved?", Jason said, "i don't know but i hope the problem is solved", i also said "yeah, i hope the problem is solved because the waiter is a good person". We continue walking and we decided to go to somewhere else.
