-Chicano is the short way of saying Mexicano

-El Hoyos Chicanos help feed the Mexican Army

-While being divided from within and from without, we are still Chicanos

"El Hoyo" clarified to me that the word Chicano is the short way of saying Miciano. I did not know the Chicanos helped feed the Mexican Army when they found out they only ate at infrequent intervals. This shows to me that Chicanos are pure at heart. Again, it clarified to me that it doesn't matter the color of your skin or what you look like, like a capirotada we are all Chicanos.

History- "El Hoyo" mentions a lot of history and still present thing Chicanos experience. For example, when is describes houses made of simple adobe, wood and abandoned car parts. Many Chicanos still live in places like that or many of our ancestors lived that way.

Everyone has their own definition of a "true Mexican" some believe you have to be brown or be able to speak Spanish correctly.

-make me look bad, dumb

-a true Mexican at last

1. This is what many people that don't know the language very well or know it and can't write it suffer from. They feel less or not from their ethnicity due to now knowing the language. 2 This sentence gave me chills when I read it because I know that feeling. Sometimes we don't give much credit to ourselves and instead we beat ourselves up. 3 Is there a real definition of being a "true Mexican" I guess as long as it mees your own requirements of being a Mexican then we should be good. These 3 sentences really show what Michele has gone through with her pain of wanting to be a "real Mexican"
