I loved reading "The Myth of the Latin Woman: I Just Met a Girl Named Maria" because it had made me think about how much we sterotype other cultures. I loved the way Cofer gave the examples in the story. It was like flashbacks to make you realize what everyone does. She also talkes about growing up and when she was in school. It seemed kind of bizarr to not know what to wear on a "Career Day". I had never giving it much thought to think about how another culture would dress. Really opened up my eyes.

I felt as if Cofer was talking to anyone. From a young teenager to any adult. I loved that she wanted everyone to know how it is to be a competly different culture. I think she got her point across greatly and her purpose of not treating others differently because they may not do the same as you was expressed wonderfully.
