Summarize Esperanza’s first day of work
Esperanza is more cheerful the next morning when the adults all leave for field work and Miguel goes to Bakersfield in search of a mechanic job. Esperanza and Isabel are left to supervise Pepe and Lupe as well as sweep the camp’s platform. Isabel shows Esperanza around the camp and introduces her to all their neighbors, all of whom seem to know that Esperanza was once a rich girl.
