This week in class we watched the movie Tortilla Soup. There were four main characters in the story Leticia,Carmen,Martin and the youngest sister, the movie had a lot going on it was basically a single parent raising four grown womens martin wife died so he took over the girls cooking for them , washing their clothes and just being there for them.
The character i liked the most was Carmen i noticed the author of the story wanted to persue us with four different sisters with different points of view, features and ages. At first carmen seem stuckup but as the story progresses we get to see who she really was she noticed her interested for food she loved to cook and everytime her father made a meal she will kind of complain about it saying something was missing her father never agree with the idea of her being a cheft he mentions he didnt sent her to grad school for her to be stuck in a kitchen. Everytime carmen used to go visit her Exboyfriend she will always make him lots of food until the day she found him with another women.
The author wanted to show us carmen was very closed to her sisters and father everyday they all had meals together and during these meals they discuss anything interesting happening she cared alot about her dad but she felt he didnt return all that caring. Leticia her older sister once called her a ''whore'' because supposably she sleeps around with every guy she meets she seem like the smartest one and at the end both of her sisters and dad go on with their lives and she stays alone.
Overal the author wanted to give us four different types of characters to see which one we felt more comfortable with and i choose carmen she seems very smart and knew what she wanted at the end of the story she became her dad's restaurant cheft, one day she cooked something for him which gave him back this sense of taste so that was nice i enjoy this movie alot
