Children in the Fields.
1. 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?
It would be waking up early and instead of going to school, you go straight to farm working. Education would be the hardest condition because you would mostly be working in the fields. Working in the hot sun would be another because the sun is to hot, and probably more because you would wear farming clothes, which have gloves, boots, etc. And having the feeling that I have to wake up everyday and do the same thing all over again without having any breaks. These are the hardest things about this farm working life for me.

2. 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 vegetables? Explain.
I do agree this statement because people look at farmworkers like if farm working is easy. They don't know the pain that they go through or the hard work they have made and yet they only get a little bit of money. These videos do change the way I think about fruits and vegetables because they go through a lot of when they pick fruits and vegetables. A kid in the video said that they get pumps when they pick some vegetables because some of the bushes are poison and they can't even make their hands in a fist, and it hurts and itches. This is why it does change the way that I think about fruits and vegetables.
