The Circuit

Imagine you are driving down the road and you see many groups of poor immigrants working in the huge farming fields. They work all day in extremely hot weather, working harder then they should just to eat that day. They are fighting dehydration in the blazing rays of the hot sun knowing that they will be paid under minimum wage that day. The short story “The Circuit” helps the reader realize that if you want to achieve family happiness you must make sacrifices for the people you love and care about.
