Tomas Rivera portrayed the suffering, strength, and beauty of the migrant farm workers by telling their stories about their lives and the struggles they went through and the blessings they received. There were three things that stood out to me the most and they were: the conditions which the migrant farm workers had to work through, the way they were being treated by people, and how they always had hope.
