Why do you think that panchtio wanted to go with his brother to the U.S?
Well he probably wanted to stay in the u.s because he did't want his brother alone in the U.S. Also he probably wanted to go back to school. He Said in the book that he liked going to school. He wanted to see if people will talk about he to while he was gone. Also if he went with the rest of them he would probably be doing all of the work to earn money.
Stepping out
Why do you think peggy's mom asked if he was spanish?What is the difference between spanish and mexican?
I think because he look like he was mexican. Also he probably talk with his spanish accent. The difference between spanish and mexican is that spanish is a language that mexicans speak.Mexican is people that come from mexico or people that that speak spanish. I think that people get confuse with those two.
Roberto& panchtio work 7 days a week,go to school, and study on saturday night's. Do you think todays generation of teenagers have the same work/family ethic and values?
Maybe not ,because there dads have good jobs and they don't even have to work a day in there life. Also yes beacuse some teenager drop out of school to help there parents beacuse they probably need the money and haves a big family.They are probably alot of teenager like that because they are living in poverty.
Put yourself in the shoes of a farmworker youth. Imagine working 14 hours in harsh conditions. What would be the hardest thing about this life for you?

One of the farmworker kids says, "After all the work is over,nobody remembers the people. Or the children who worked. The farmworker is forgotten." Do you agree with this statement? Do these videos change the way you think about fruits and vegetable?
No and yes beacuse there are some people out there that don't even know kids are helping there parents with work.Also there are some people that feel bad every time when they eat beacuse they remember that kids probably picked it.
