The narrator talks about his struggles of constant migration and school. He said he quit school around 8th grade because he felt degraded for speaking Spanish. He always had to travel from California to Arizona and back. He worked on a farm and tried to memorize a part for a play and didn't end up getting it. He was really mad about this which ultimately lead up to him dropping out of school in the 8th grade.

So far, this book is very appealing and relate-able. It talks about the working and class and the struggles of physical labor. This is very much like school as both are stressing and unnecessarily hard. For example, we go to school for about 7-8 hours a day. We also get 2-3 hours of homework each night. We are basically working overtime. So did the main character so far in this book.
