COMPARE AND CONTRAST ESSAY
Ana and Doña Carmen
The movie “Real Women Have Curves”, written by Josefina Lopez and George La Voo,
shows the relationship between Ana, a 18 year-old Mexican-American teenager , and her old-
traditional Mexican mother. In the movie, Ana and Carmen emerge as contrasting
personalities. Carmen, the mother, is dramatic with strong morals and her daughter Ana is
open minded and confidant.
Like most children of immigrants growing up in United States, Ana clashes with her
traditional mother when it comes to discussions about going to college. Ana is a smart
student and receives a full scholarship to Columbia University, New York after graduating
from Beverly Hills High School. Ana thinks that it is a good opportunity to better her and get
a higher education. In contrast, Carmen is against Ana continuing her education. She feels
that is time for Ana to work and help out(Is it right?) the family. She wants teach Ana the
skills of a traditional housewife—cleaning, cooking, raising children and taking care of her
husband.
College is not only thing that Ana and Carmen argue about, self-esteem is other.(Is it
a complete sentences?) Ana’s self esteem is strong, but she is put down by her mother.
As a result of this( or Despite of) Ana is insecure about her physical appearance; however,
she overcomes her insecurity accepting herself as a person. She thinks that a woman should
be judged(Is it ok?) by her thoughts and by her ideas, not by her physical. Even though
Carmen is in a poor condition, (Can I use a comma here?) she is always making Ana feel
bad about her overweight with comments like, “If you lost weight, you could be beautiful.”
She believes that a woman’s main purpose in life is attracting a husband and having children.
Carmen tries to enforce old traditions on Ana. Ana deals with the situation of living
home and old life [DON'T UNDERSTAND](I mean Ana left home for her dream of going to
college). On other hand, Carmen insists that her family cannot be apart from each other
(Does it sounds right?). Ana falls into the transitions to becoming an independent and mature
woman [DON'T UNDERSTAND]( I mean that Ana falls into the transition of becoming
independent).( I don’t know how to explain it). Ana does not believe that she must abstain
from sex until she is married, unlike her mother who believes that she must. Carmen thinks
that it goes against her moral (principals or principles?). [PARAGRAPH IS AWKWARD] Why? I
don’t understand
In the movie “Real Woman Have Curves”, Ana struggled with her role of being a Latina in
United States and her dreamD(Is this past tense?) of doing things by her.[???](I think is
herself) I think women should be accepted for who they are, instead of their body shape.
