Chapter 11 Text-Dependent Question #2

Look at pages 187 and 188. Summarize Miguel’s explanation of how the farmworkers are treated. Then explain how Miguel’s comments and Esperanza’s thinking connect to the ideas of Article 2 of the UDHR. Be sure to cite evidence from the text.

Article 2 of the UDHR states: “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-selfgoverning, or under any other limitation of sovereignty.”
