Hook:
“Miguel eventually caught her arm and pulled her around. 'What is the matter with you?' 'Is this the better life that you left Mexico for? Is it? Nothing is right here! Isabel will certainly not be queen no matter how badly she wants it because she is Mexican. You cannot work on engines because you are Mexican. We have gone to work through angry crouds of our own people who threw rocks at us, and I'm afraid they might have been right! They send people back to Mexico even if they don't belong there, just for speaking up. We live in a horse stall. And none of this bothers you? Have you heard they are building a new camp for Okies, with a swimming pool? The Mexicans can only swim in it on the afternoon they clean it! Have you heard they will be given inside toilets and hot water? Why is that, Miguel? Is it because they are the fairest in the land? Is this life really better then being a servant in Mexico?"(Page 221-222)
