After a thorough research, there exists the same question that has the full passage.

<span>One might think that proud English writers would welcome a broader readership. However, quite the opposite happened. Though scholars agreed that English was a great language, many felt that it was in danger. According to some scholars, when poorly educated people read, wrote, and spoke, they corrupted the English language.

Today, if you do not know how to spell a word, you look it up in the dictionary. During the early eighteenth century, there were few dictionaries. Those that did exist were mainly collections of difficult words or translation dictionaries (Latin to English, for example). There was no authority on the"correct" way to use or spell words.

Alfonso thinking his father would likely call him a sissy

<em>"And his father, who was puro Mexicano, would sit in his chair after work, sullen as a toad, and call him "sissy.”</em>

Alfonso had a conflict between him and this father, even though Alfonso seemed confident about the idea of having a new haircut, internally he knew neither his mother nor his father would accept it. Especially his father which in the text they make reference of his father's origin, was predisposed because of what he recalled about him.
