I'm working on my charm

The story I'm working on my charm is a good one to relate class performance to gender performance. Alma, as a child is taught how to handle certain customers i.e how to behave or act in front of them in order to get a tip. It is interesting that when she is experiencing this party as an adult, teachings from her mother come up and she immediately knows how to go about her performance. Yankees for example are classified in a certain way."…nobody bet on Yankee tips, they might leave anything" They are a type of person/customer. This separation of how people are treated and stereotyped is a reflection of how class and gender roles are reinforced in our society today. The fact that we have to learn how to interact with different people in different ways is interesting. We practice our personalities everyday, we are constantly working on our charm.
