After reading La Guera, Payasa, and Marin i noticed they have some things in common. Like their actions. All three of their actions are bad actions. All three of them also have common reactions in the story. Last but not least they also have their appearence which is what they have in common the most.
La Guera's actions are stealing minor items to bring her rainbows and Baba Sheep in the inside but on the outside she tries to act all tough on the outside. Like in the text when it says "I'm white on the outside but brown on the inside." from the donut she saw in the shop. Payasa's actions are taking drugs to get things off her mind. But when Payasa takes drugs or does drugs she has bad actions for example she takes dares by her friends. Payasa flashed her nipples and took off her pants and underwear in front of the whole park. For Marin her actions are basically being a prostitute. At night she sings and dances under the street lights for "work." Their appearances my in common too. La Guera's apperence is pink cheeks, white skin, and way too much make up, and her culture is White and Mexican. Payasa's appearanceis teased hair, short tight skirts, racoon style make up, and shes also Boisterous. Marin also wears short skirts, she has green eyes and shes also from Puerto Rico. Their actions are all based on their reactions. Which is their neighborhood and surroundings.I cant forget to include their feelings they all act like this beacuse they either dont have parents involved in their lifes or someone they loved left them.
But i do not think La Guera, Payasa, and Marin are archetypes. I dont think their archetypes because they have nothing that fits into just one catagorie. They're all their indivisual person. For example La Guera is a want to be Chola with all her make up and attitude. Payasa is a Drug addict with her drugs and flashing body parts. Marin is a prostitute with her short skirts and her dancing under street lights. All three main charecters may have something in common but their still not archetypes.
To all three of these stories there really isn't a happy ending. At the end something bad happens to them or they continue to do what they do. La Guera gets all her make up, gum, candies and etc. stolen for her enemy but that still does not bring her back to rainbows and Baba Sheep. In Payasa her brothers that were cholos would beat her to make her tought and slit her tounge with a razor everytime she lost a fight. So she has been in the hospital for cutting herself through all the pain shes been through. Then Marin continues tho be a prostitute beacuse her boyfriend she was going to have a future with left her. And the only reason he left her is because of the way she acted. These are all the reasons why these three girls have something in common but not everything, and being their own person with no Archetypes.
