Chapter 29 describes anger and fear among migrant workers. Why is anger growing?

• A. Change in weather
• B. Lack of work
• C. Illness
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Anger grows because the migrant workers are under pressure from multiple compounding hardships. The weather and drought have devastated the land, so crops fail and work dries up; without steady income, families can’t meet basic needs. At the same time, illness climbs into the picture, weakening workers and driving medical costs, which deepens fear about keeping a job and feeding loved ones. When bad weather, scarce work, and illness all hit at once, the sense that forces beyond their control are destroying their livelihoods intensifies, fueling growing anger and unease among the workers.
