The farm laborers live in two different types of camps. Reread pages 192 and 193. Why are Marta and Ada living in a different camp now? What is that camp like?

The strikers live in a separate camp. It is bordered with chain link fence and
guarded by men wearing armbands. The camp is deplorable. There are only a few
outdoor toilets for hundreds of workers, women are washing clothes in irrigation ditches, and there is no electricity and very few tents. Many people live outside and sleep on the ground with goats.
