Below is an example summary of this reading selection: In this piece, Thompson provides insight into the world of migrant farmworkers who do work that most Americans won’t do. The work is painful and disfiguring, but its importance to the food industry is apparent. While Americans won’t do the work, Mexicans work hard to get the job done. Your summary will differ from this one in the way it is written, but it should include roughly the same information.
