Los Vendidos

The story/play by Luis Valdez, "Los Vendidos" was very funny; I really enjoyed it. This story did a good job at showing the Mexican stereotypes. I find it very amusing how the secretary is out there trying to purchase a Mexican worker. It was obvious that the gentleman who was showing her, and telling her about each worker, really wanted to say lots of good things about his 'models', as he referred to them as. He was good at trying to convince her that all the workers were good choices and worked hard. However, she just could not leave the shop with a full-out Mexican, or as they stated, made in Mexico. The ending was basically the climax of the story. It turned out to be that the Sancho was the only actual worker.
