Story Number Six from the Mexican Ambassadors
Does any of this story sound stereotyped?
Once in a land not too far away (but in order to show the
differences between the main characters I have to say far), a 12 year old named
Miguel has just moved from Mexico to Canada.
Miguel was feeling very nervous because he didn’t speak a word of
English. One day, when he was eating his
burrito peacefully, Arnold (An America) came and threw Miguel’s burrito on the
ground. Miguel stared as what was left
of his burrito when one of the Canadians came to help.
“Are you
okay?” Oh no! Your burrito!
Here, let me help! I am Carol by the way.”
The next day,
Carol tried his best to be friends with Miguel.
“Hi! Do you want to hang out
after school today? Oh! Am I bothering you? Okay… sorry…. Well, see you!”
It clearly had not worked out. Miguel was feeling sadder and sadder by each
passing day. He was always being bullied
by Arnold. Arnold kept asking, “Where is
your sombrero? I own you!”
What Arnold
didn’t realize is that Carol had heard everything that he had said to
Miguel. So, Carol organized the next day
that half the school would wear a sombrero and eat either a taco or a burrito. That is what happened to make Arnold realize
his mistakes and he eventually surrendered.
Now, because of that, Miguel and Carol are best friends. Even though they don’t speak the same
language.
Story Number Five from the Mexican Ambassadors
How much of this story is stereotyped? How much is accurate?
One day, an overly large Mexican man was walking on the street
eating. His name was Carlos. Carlos then put on his sombrero and pulled
out his maracas. He then began to sing a
Mariachi song. He was singing when a
mouse, wearing a sombrero, began running around him, shouting, “Andale,
Andale! Arriba! Arriba!”
Carlos soon became angry at the mouse and tried squishing the mouse with
his foot. They ran around the city but
the mouse was too fast for Carlos. He
soon became tired of chasing the mouse and quickly went to a burrito
stand. He bought three of the biggest
burritos ever. Each burrito had Tabasco
sauce on it and he ate all of them in less than 5 seconds. Carlos went to the washroom and saw that he
had Tabasco sauce all over his big mustache.
He had to wash it all off his mouth and moustache. Later he fell asleep on a bench and then he
woke up with the mouse staring at him.
They decided to have a gun fight.
They took 5 steps away from each other until they both turned around and
Carlos got a hit and killed the mouse.
Carlos went home happy and he then again began to sing another Mariachi
song. Carlos finally went home and was
greeted by his many brothers and sisters.
They had a fiesta with burritos, tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and
enchiladas. Carlos went to sleep with a
full stomach.
Story Number Four From the Mexican Ambassadors
How much of this story is true? How much is stereotyped?
He was
tall and dark but certainly not Mexican. He was at a spicy burrito
competition. The 2015 Burrito Picante contestants
were twelve taco-loving men with bushy moustaches who wore large tortilla chip
sombreros. The judges were local villagers who won the 2014 Mariachi band
competition. One of the competitors was disqualified for wearing a
fake bushy moustache, which left them with only twelve competitors. I
forgot to tell you that the requirements to enter the burrito competition the
contestants were to wear that the classic pointy Mexican boots for good luck, a
poncho and had to sing the best Mexican song “Mucha Muchacha” while drinking
tequila. Back to our tall and dark but certainly not Mexican
contestant. His name was Fluencio and it turns out he is French Canadian
from Saskatoon. Fluencio had a life long dream to win a spicy burrito
contest. Fluencio spent many winter months in Saskatoon eating habanero
peppers and sipping tequila while wearing his pointy boots, a poncho and
singing “Mucha Muchacha”. The contest day finally arrived and
Fluencio was ready. Fluencio was really nervous but he was ready.
The crowd of abuelitas cheered them on. Some had dentures and some no
teeth. Fluencio knew he was one of greats and he easily won the contest.
When he flew back to Saskatoon he arrived at the big event in his honor held at
the hockey rink and his dad and grandpa gave him a shock of his life. The
Mexican judges ruled to disqualify Fluencio for taking a bite of his
competitor’s tortilla chip hat. Fluencio was devastated but understanding
as he is already preparing for next year’s event.
Story Number Three from the Mexican Ambassadors....
Here is story number three......
How much of this story is true? How much is stereotypical?
How much of this story is true? How much is stereotypical?
Everyday after dance class, Carlo and his siblings rushed
home faster than a donkey so they wouldn’t miss their mother’s “special double
decker cheese burrito”. After lunch,
Carlo wore his sombrero and was on his way to the beach where the dance
festival was. When he got there, he saw
people with huge tacos and burritos.
Everyone was wearing sombreros and girls wore Jarabe Tapatios. People were laughing and dancing until one
guy came in, and shouted, “Where’s the burritos?!”
Story Number two from the Mexican Ambassadors......
Here is story number two......
How much is true that is written here?
How much is true that is written here?
Meet Rosa and Camila.
They are best friends. Both Rosa
and Camila love making and wearing ponchos.
Soon after the girls decided to make their very own poncho shop in the
very busy market. One day, a woman came
into their shop, looking for a pink poncho for her daughter’s quinncinera. Both of the girls had fantastic suggestions
and ideas. The only problem was that the
two girls could never agree on both of their ideas. This led to a huge argument between Rosa and
Camila. They both decided to create
their own pieces. Soon after, Rosa
started to notice that her poncho wasn’t coming out as she had planned. She saw that Camila was having problems
too. So they decided to put their
differences aside and to work together to make the best poncho in history. When the customer came to pick it up, she was
overjoyed. From that day onwards, Rosa
and Camila promised to always talk about their plans and work together!
