When Mariana's husband leaves the family is completely devastated her life and the children's life, but that's not to say she wasn't strong enough to get through it. Mariana did what any good mother would do and that was anything for her children, she was determined, creative, and she didn't take no for an answer.
In today's world I feel this happens a lot to mother's in the United States, I don't think it is as bad as what Mariana had to go through but this situations happens. I think Mariana's situation was a lot tougher because she was from a different country, had no formal education, job experience, and really wasn't great at speaking the language, but none of that stopped her. I think it takes a mothers strength to survive, she never gave up especially not on her kids.
Miranda,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Mariana did try her best to get through this hard time. It didn't help that she didn't have an education, job experience or even speak the english language. I wonder if it would be best if they went back to Columbia?

I agree with you as well. Marianna never gave up, and she tried what ever and where ever to find work and mother. She often did without, so that her children could have more.

Jenna, I agree with you but then at the end of the movie it stated that her two children both had master degrees and were both very successful, maybe it was a good thing she said here and toughed it out.
