Mother and Son

En this picture, the mother helps her son to do homework.

The other daughter does her homework by your computer.
The children have in comfortable home.
The furniture is modern and very comfortable.
The children dressed in fine clothes.
The mother can devote much time to their children.

In this picture we can see:

Mother says goodbye to his son before going to work.
They live in a room without many amenities.
The child sleeps in a humble no-frills bed.
The child must remain alone in his room until his mother returns from work

janitor strike

protest

I see people with signs. They are meeting in the park. People don't need chips. Compared with image #4 this protest protects every person in my country.

Comparing Images

Choose one image from our book Si, Se Puede! Yes, We Can!  What does the image represent? (For example: A woman, a mother, a janitor, etc.)  Find another image with a similar label on the Internet.  Compare the two images.  Does one image show a more positive representation than the other?  Do the images stereotype or challenge stereotypes?
 

Image 1: Mama says goodnight to Carlitos before she goes to work.

 Image 4: The janitors organize a strike.
