A Day Without A Mexican

To start off I have to say that the fact brought up about how Americans call all Hispanics and Latins, Mexicans is completely wrong. They should recognize each individuals cultures and background.
Anyways, the movie we started wacthing on Tuesday, "A Day Without A Mexican" although it was presented with extreme dramatization had many truths as well. "A Day Without A Mexican" literally shows the state of California where all Hispanics and Mexicans have vanished into thin air. Complete chaos breaksout as there is no one to work in the fields, supermarkets, carwashes and even as maids. An appeal to pathos is presented as the life of an American wife and her daughter is changed because her Mexican husband has disappeared one morning without a trace, as well as the lives of many other families. This shows the emotional appeal of the breaking up of a family due to prejucide against other cultures and ethnicities. Also, flashbacks are utilized to bring back memories of how happy the people used to be for example, when the American wife thinks about having her husband in her arms and helping with the band, as well as when the only Mexican American still present thinks back to her birthday as it was celebrated so harmoniously with her Mexican parents.
Furthermore, anb appeal to logos is also brought out in the movie as examples of how society would be living without Mexicans are shown. Many facts are mentioned in the movie such as the percentage of Mexicans who work in the fields, as teachers, as maids or nanny's etc. The American people would no longer be living with such ease without the Latino community working so hard. Americans and Latinos compliment eachother and it shows how in many aspects of the economy without Latinos things would not be so stable.
Moreover, it is seen that the point of this movie is to mainly present the audience no matter what their background may be that all immigrants should be given an opportunity here in the United States. They should be able to work just as hard to earn a living without being discriminated against. They should be able to come from wherever and if they have the motivation grow to become professionals in whatever they wish to be.
