Esperanza forms unlikely friendships with her fellow workers from "summary" of Esperanza Rising (Scholastic Gold) by Pam Muñoz Ryan
Esperanza forms friendships with workers who are different from her in many ways. When she first arrives at the labor camp, she is hesitant to interact with the other workers. However, as she spends more time with them, she begins to see past their differences and connect with them on a deeper level. For example, she becomes close friends with Marta, a young girl who is passionate about workers' rights. Despite Marta's radical ideas, Esperanza is drawn to her strength and determination. Esperanza also forms a bond with Alfonso and Hortensia, the couple who work on the ranch. They are kind and welcoming to Esperanza, treating her like family. Despite their humble backgrounds, Esperanza values their friendship and learns important lessons from them about resilience and hard work. Through her friendships with Marta, Alfonso, and Hortensia, Esperanza learns to appreciate the diversity of experiences and perspectives among the workers. She realizes that despite their differences, they share a common goal of building a better future for themselves and their families. These unlikely friendships help Esperanza navigate the challenges she faces in the labor camp and provide her with a sense of belonging and community. As Esperanza works alongside her fellow laborers, she discovers that true friendship knows no boundaries. She learns to look beyond superficial differences and connect with others based on shared values and experiences. The bonds she forms with Marta, Alfonso, and Hortensia are a testament to the power of friendship to overcome adversity and unite people from diverse backgrounds.
