Article Evaluation

 * The lead for this article is more like a summary of the legend itself rather than a summary of what the audience will find in the article. The summary of the legend also doesn't match what is stated under the Legend heading, they are two different tells of the story. Under the origins heading the words "It's fake" really jump out, they seem biased in a negative way.
 * First create a better lead and summary for the article.
 * go over information in the legend and compare to other sources and see if there is any missing information or anything that is unclear and needs to be in more detail.
 * Check over the origins of the article
 * Maybe add in a section about the significance of the story in the Mexican culture.

La Llorona
In Latin American folklore, specifically Mexican, La Llorona ( pronounced [la ʝoˈɾona]; "The Weeping Woman" or "the Cryer") is one of the most famous oral legends. The lore states a woman was unloved by her husband and her husband loved their two sons instead of her. She caught her husband with another woman and drowned her sons in a river. Out of grief and anger she then drowned herself. She was refused entry to heaven until she found the souls of her two sons. She cries and wails and takes children and drowns them in the river she and her sons drowned in. The legend represents La Llorona as a person or ghost.
