Justin Falcone October 19,2012 Home figure show up 5 Chapter 4 ledger In reading chapter 4 in wrenching in the shadows we have seen that Gabriele is on his last week of training. Gabriele is giving the bloodline to press clipping the four rows of lettuce that are in the path of the machine where the lettuce is stored in the boxes. Gabriele is realizing that 4 rows is a lot and his has to get them done. In this chapter you as the reader real find all the courage, ambition and strength that Gabriel has. Gabriele has started slick the lettuce the first day Gabriele couldnt cut 25 heads before having to stand dep obliterateable up and unwind and stretch his back.Gabriele stayed firm and kept up with his cutting and as the days went up Gabriele has cut thousands of lettuce and was on his way to finish up his rows. In this chapter it tells us that Gabriele starts operative with the rest of the chemical group and tells us all the struggles that Gabriel is going threw. amongst the aches and hurts and the soreness, Gabriel needs to stay strong, it really al slumps us as the reader to ask how hard these immigrants are working. As Gabriele goes on with his workdays no matter how hard he is working he is getting let loose out to work harder even though he believes that he is keeping up with the rest of the workers.Something that caught my eye that I relish this chapter was manly round was the immigrant worker towards the American workers in the United States. On a Sunday morning Gabriel went to visit Mateo, and the comments Mateo where fashioning for me as an American worker in the United States take it personal. Basically move to say that Mexican and immigrant workers work some(prenominal) harder where they work in there country, and that us Americans only sit in offices and work on computers all day.Something that was left out in this chapter could have answered these comments for me and for Mateo that we as Americans work harder then these immigra nts think we do. Gabriele could have given stories or even experiences he had with working to back up us Americans. At least explain that the reason why immigrants get into the United States and take the fatigue jobs from many American workers is because immigrants al dispirited the low pay and the extra hours of work, because it isnt anything bare-assed for them.As seen in lettuce picking with the extra hours and the low pay, these immigrants dont have a choice they need to take these jobs. Towards the end of the chapter Gabriele is explaining how hard this job is for him, one of the hardest and Gabriel has victorious 2 days off to relax his body. This job I making Gabriele conceive of about it that how much he thinks about it and worries about going to work all(prenominal) day. After all in my eyeball Gabriel realizes that this job is putting a effect to him, but he will non quite, he will work threw pain and suffer no matter what.
