Candidos problem is that he sounds like a machista, he does not want to let his wife look for work, and her attitude is strong and he had a point of view strange, like if everything needs to be the way he wants. His face does not look good and he needs to go to a doctor.
He do not want her wife to work because he is the man in the relationship, and like in Mexico that machismo still exist men is the only who "needs" to work and the women stay at house and she is the one who cleans the house and makes the food, and he had that same ideology and he does not want his wife to work only for that reason. But more than anything she is very tiny, and he had a baby that is still not notable, she can't do much for work. The problem is that Candidos knows that in L.A there's not fruit.
Her attitude his strange, he acts machista and he acts like if he can do everything he wants, but most than anything he sounds stressed, and worry because they are in a very difficult situation. Even in the difficult situation that they are, I think that he can act better and try to be grateful because his wife try to help me and give him ideas, and she even offers to work in order to help, but Candidos only laughs, I understand that he is tired, but he needs to understand that his wife wants to help, and she is not acting like a brat. Her attitude is not the best, but on another hand, I understand that he is tired and that maybe he had a sarcastic attitude for the situation.
I believe that America attitude is not the best also, but she is trying her best, I feel that she didn't was aware of all the risks of what she is doing. She is acting like a wife, even that they are in a difficult situation she still has that wife personality. She wants to help her husband, and she gives him ideas, she is a girl with dreams, like everyone else, she is still alive, for me she still has hope, and she still believes that she can make it.
