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?

in what concepts does Breaking through by fransisco jimenez resemble the book esperanza rising by pam munoz rayna
There are a few ways that they can be compared for example both struggled when they came to the U.S. Second example could be they both had to work in the fields while getting payed minimum wage . one example is both franscisco and esperanza were separtaed from family. so in all there are diffrent ways the book breaking through resembles esperanza rising.

Why do you think peggy's mom asked if he was spanish? What is the difference between spanish and mexican?
I think she asked Panchito that because he has a mexican accent and he is pale, when you think of people like that you will most likely think of people from spain. The difference between spanish and Mexican is people from spain are eligant, have manors ,and they are light skinned. When most people think of mexican they think dark skinned,
roberto and panchito work 7 days a week , go to school and study on saturday nights. do you think today's generation oof teens have the same work/family ethic and values?
Even to this day families are struggling to pay bills or rent and this effects their children because then they drop out of school. I do believe this still happens because a lot of people struggle with poverty.

put yourself in the shoes of a farmworker youth. imagine working 14 hours a day in harsh conditions. what would be the hardest thing about this in your life?
the hardest part for me would be the weather because you could be working in the rain while picking tomatoes.

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 he made a good choice because eventually he will make money and help his family.
