In the movie Maria Full of grace, she had to make a decision weather to continue to work her dead end job, or work as a mule. She really needed the money for her family so she chose to become the mule because it was easy money. She did not do it for herself, but for family. She was pregnant and going to be a single mother. she reminds me of a book i read about a girl who as a single parent, and needed money. She began working for people and doing things that could cost her her family, but when times are hard and you need money its only one thing she knew how to do.
They both tried to fend for their families the only way they know how. Most people would think down on them but until you are in their shoes you dont know what they are going through. They have to be ready mind body and soul, there is no second guessing your decision, once your in your in, no backing out. They chose the life style because its easy money. When you have a family you will do anything to make sure they dont want for anything. All they wanted to do was support and take care of their family, family is the most important thing one has, because you cant always rely on friends.

second essay
The movie that i feel the protagonist stayed true to them self is Ludovick; My Life In Pink. He knew what he wanted to be since the beginning, he wanted to be a girl. Being a girl just seems so right to him, he doesnt want to be gay, but to change his gender to female. He went through plenty of things from moving, a counselor, moving again and not being accepted for who he is.
The family relocated because their father got a well paying job. They had a house warming party and as they were introducing the childing Ludovick came outside with make-up, hills, a dress and earrings. Many people that he was the families daughter until the daughter came out and he was revealed to be a boy. That first incounterment got the neighbors thinking that the new family would cause problems they just didnt know when.
Ludovicks family said one day that it would have been great for them to have two boys and two girls instead of three boys and one girl. Ludovick took it upon his self to become the girl that the family always wanted, he just wanted to help the family, he had them in mind. he watched the things his big sister started to do and he would do them trying to learn all the in's and out's on how to be a girl. He began to cause the family problems, he tried to be in a relationship with the boy next door, which is his fathers boss son. He really like the boy next door, even though he cant be with him he still tries.
He began to do things he shouldnt do, the children in his school began to call him names nd tease him. through it all he still remained Ludovick! He wouldnt change t all, even though his family got him counseling he still kept his mind on being a girl. After too much began to happen in his new neighborhood the families didnt want them there anymore so the fathers boss layed him off, and the school principle kicked Ludovick out of his school because the parents signed a petition.
His mother accepting him wanting to be a girl, but once it started to effect their image as a family she soon stopped accepting him for who he wants to be. She soon stays on his back and forces him to do boys things instead of girl things. He got too much for her to handle and nobody would accept him so he moved with his grandmother, who let him be him. soon they had to move to a different neighborhood, which ment a new start for the family. But he still didnt want to be a girl, he got invited to a birthday party and they which costumes. He became the princess and the birthday girl put on his boy costume. His mother freaked out and beat him in front of everybody, the children told her that he didnt want to change but they forced him to. She soon realized that she had messed up big time now. He was trying to change for the family, after falling off a billboard because she seen Ludovick going away with the barbie, she soon realized that no matter what gender he wanted to be he will always be her child.
She finally got it that he wanted to be a girl, and nothing was going to stop him at a young age. When his family accepted him for who he was he felt like he could now be who he really was in his heart; a girl. Plenty of things got in his way of being who he was but he didnt let that stop him. He kept on being him, the real him and not what his family wanted him to be. He followed his heart and didnt stop doing hat he believed in.
