Looking for Work

In the story looking for work, the little Mexican boy wants his family to be just like the families that he sees on TV. The show that he refers to is "Leave it to Beaver." When he is watching the show he compares their "table talk" to that of his own. On the show the family dressed high class and had very intriguing conversations. He then talks about how his dinner table is loud and full of laughter and jokes. The point of this story was that although they were living in America, his Mexican family didn't seem to fit in. The little boy wanted nothing more than to be a white collared American citizen who was rich and sophisticated. He wanted to live the American dream.
