Question

Passage 1

Answer 1

The migrants flowed into California … from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico; from Nevada and Arkansas. Carloads, caravans, homeless and hungry; fifty thousand and a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand. They steamed over the mountains, hungry and restless as ants, scurrying to find work to do—to lift, to push, to pull, to pick, to cut anything, any burden to bear, for food. Their kids are hungry. They got no place to live. Like ants scurrying for work, for food, and most of all for land.
We ain't foreign. Seven generations back are Americans, and beyond that Irish, Scotch, English, German. One of our folks was in the Revolution, and there was lots of our folks in the Civil War on both sides. Americans. They were hungry, and they were fierce. And they had hoped to find a home, and they found only hatred. . .
from The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

Passage 2

Men with flashlights and pistols on their hips were walking beside the train. When they came to a boxcar, they hauled open the doors and shone the lights inside. A man with a bass voice called out in Spanish, "Traigo pistolo. Levantense los manos! I have a pistol. Raise your hands."
Lupita looked on as Señor Rosario and his family jumped out of their boxcar. To her surprise, three young Mexican men followed them. The railroad guards handcuffed Senor Rosario to one of the young men and handcuffed the other two together. Another guard led Señor Rosario's weeping wife and children away. Tears came to Lupita's eyes.
"Lupita, get your head down," Salvador hissed. Lupita scrunched down, and Salvador quickly pulled the hatch shut as far as he could. Seconds later they saw the beam of a flashlight through the crack. Lupita held her breath. Would they be flushed out too? Would one of the railroad guards climb up, open the turret, and shine his light inside the car?
