What is the traditional female gender role in the culture esquivel describes? to be the head of the house and discipline children but to be submissive to the man to be in charge of morality and religion, cook meals, and care for children to control the budget, do the shopping and cleaning, and be “machismo” to show power in subtle ways, such as giving or withholding food and clothing

The traditional female gender role in the culture Esquivel describes is to be in charge of morality and religion, cook meals, and care for children

The role of the male is to provide and protect. He is tasked to provide for the needs of his family as well as to keep them safe from any danger.

The role of the female is to protect and nurture. She is tasked to keep the family home and the children clean, healthy, and learned.

Each gender has different roles but they are equally important for the growth not only of the individuals in the family but for the family as a whole. 

Unfortunately, this is something i can't you with, because i am not you. but i can tell you what to do.so think about times when you met with people with a different ethnic group as you and describe how they acted and also describe time when you may have showed your own feelings and they way you see things about life.    i hope i you somewhat,
