A PowerPoint presentation for my literature project is the closest I can get to a creative visual
interpretation. I am not much of an artist, let alone a singer. In the critical article, Carbonell talks about the challenges Mexican women face. Especially with machismo–toxic masculinity–being widely accepted in almost all of Mexico. Even the eerie folklore in that country is all based on women. In order to capture the endurance of Mexican women, like Cleofilas, that Carbonell expresses, I needed to use numerous photos. Images that show betrayal, maternal love, acceptance, and machismo. The main idea of Carbonell’s article is how the Mexican woman is portrayed as a servant to her husband and father. All the world's hardships laid on one lady who is still expected to do everything but doesn’t shatter when it comes to her children. “The Cariboo Cafe" and "Woman Hollering Creek," have propagated and vitalized the set of tales about maternal resistance”
