Struggle: it's teachings, how it can help us, how it can hurt us.
There is at bottom only one problem in the world... How does one break through? How does one get into the open? How does one burst the cocoon and become a butterfly?

stepping out
Why do you think Peggy's mom asked if he was spanish? what's the difference between spanish and Mexican?
I think that Peggy's mom asked Panchito if he was spanish is because he had a Mexican accent and also he he had a Mexican looking skin color. The difference between Mexican and spanish is that spanish is a Mexican language and Mexican is a culture.
ethics
Roberto and panchito work 7 days a week, go to school, and study on saturday nights. Do you think today's generation of teenagers have the same work/family ethic and values?
No I don't think that todays generation of teenagers have the same ethics as Panchito and Roberto. One is that now in days teens just want to stay in and play video games and not even think about school. Most teens also don't have jobs and don't help their parents out.
Children in the fields
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?
I think the hardest thing would be having to stay in the hot sun picking plants row after row.
one of the farmers 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 veggies?
Yes it does change what i think about fruits and veggies because not just adults are picking them, but so are little kids.

BREAKING THROUGH
Panchito's family sticks together, they help each other through poverty, and there is a high level of respect.
Do you think Panchito made the right choice? Defend your answer.
I think Panchito made the right decision when he went to college because if he gets a better education then he can get a better job and he then can feed his family.
