Reveal that the mother is unaware of her actions
Remark
Let's begin with the theme. What is the theme of this passage, exactly? Four people -- five if you include Dr. Heidegger -- are sitting around a circle bemoaning the fact that they have lost something not granted to anyone. They have lost their second youth. They have swallowed some water which gave them their youth only for a fleeting moment (it seems to them), and they mourn the passage of time that grants them no more youth that they had been living in for some short period.
The four felt that way. Only Dr. Heidegger seemed to have learned something that told him that he should be careful what he wished for: he might actually get it.
We have two themes then. We have 4 who wished for their youth back and we have one who didn't want any part of it. I think we have to cover both.
The best detail for those wanting it is the old woman who apparently got her youth back and she was incredibly beautiful. Now her hands are skinny and likely wrinkled. She puts those hands to her face and wishes herself to be dead because she despises the fact that she is old (and likely all her friends are dead and she is condemned to a life of weariness. I speculate, but is certainly unhappy about the aging process). She mourns that it is over so quickly. They all do. That's sentence 3.
Only Dr. Heidegger seems to understand that they got something they should never have received in the first place. The yellow sentence beginning with "Well I bemoan it not, ... " reflects his point view as well as anything. That's sentence 5.
Answer:
<u>The union workers contradicted the growers.</u> They were very much in opposition to how they treat the farm workers. They protected the rights of the farmers by helping them overcome poverty and injustice through voicing out concerns over improved working conditions (including wages and benefits).
Explanation:
Cesar Chavez is a Mexican American union leader and labor organizer. He spent most of his life protecting the rights of the farm workers. This decision arose from the an experience he had during childhood. He saw how the growers abused the farmers, such as allowing child labor in many farms. Many of these farmers also died early because they couldn't eat enough food and their living condition was terrible.
This awareness, opened Cesar Chavez eyes. He then decided to form a union against the growers. This union was originally named "National Farm Workers Association," but later it was changed to "United Farm Workers." He wanted to overthrow the farm labor system, so that farmers will be treated fairly just like other human beings. <em>This gave the farm workers hope and made the growers enact some changes.</em>
