Day 1
Prompt: Describe the setting of the text you are reading.
The text I’m reading has several settings. Right now Esperanza and her fam- ily are living in a migrant laborer camp in California. The camp is alongside the grape elds where the workers, including Esperanza and her mother, work. The camp has a lot of people in it. The text says there are children run- ning around and that trucks crowded with workers drive up and drop people o . The cabin where Esperanza lives is very small and crowded. She and her mother are sharing it with three other people, even though it has only one bedroom and one other room. The cabin reminds Esperanza “more of horse alls on the ranch than of a place for people to live” because it is so di erent from where she used to live. She is not happy to be there.
