The day the Cisco kid Shot John Wayne (By: Nash Candelaria) Analysis
This story wasn about a young Mexican American kid who moves to New Mexico and finds himself trying to fit in with white kids, which in the story they called "Anglos". he is picked on until he stands up for himself an joins Chango's gang. When he joins the gang he talks about all the things they do together like watch El Zorro, The Cisco Kid, and go to the theater. He remembers what his teachers would say like "only good catholics go to heaven". Important thing in the story is when talked about being ashamed to speak english because he said it "made me feel very uncomfortable, as if i were betraying somthing very deep and basic". But overall i think the most important part of this story is when the whit kid moves into the neighborhood and the gang picks on him. Because later their parents talk and force them to get along go to the theater together. The white kid is later acceped by the gang and they become friends. This shows how racsim and prejudace is not just one way and how things can change.
