Esperanza also becomes more sympathetic towards Marta in this chapter. When Esperanza witnesses the sparse and unclean living conditions at Marta's camp, she does not recoil in disgust as she did when she first saw her own cabin. Instead, Esperanza counts her blessings. For the first time, Esperanza also listens to Marta without letting her initial dislike cloud her opinion of the girl. Marta has a much more respectful view of Esperanza after Esperanza hid her from the immigration officers.
