Uddrag
This is an excellent example of Ferrera’s experience and how it influenced her. Regardless of how difficult her circumstances were, she continued to act, but with a new spark and fire inside her.
A desire to confront and adapt culture rather than change and adapt herself. Ferrera uses pathos for a variety of reasons.
First and foremost, she evokes frustration when she discusses being denied a role because she did not speak in the way the casting director thought a Latina should:
“And I couldn’t figure out why the fact that I was an actual, real-life, authentic Latina didn’t really seem to matter” (p. 1, l. 20-21). As a result, her story instills feelings of anger and injustice in the listener.
