At the end of Chapter 7, the author writes:

"To the sun and the seeds and the soil, Mexican or Japanese, Mendez or Munemitsu didn't matter: the people knew how to make things grow."

What is most likely the intention of the author?

• To show that only certain people know how to farm successfully

• To show that although people come from different backgrounds and cultures, they are more alike than they realize

• To show that the sun and soil are more important than the people

• To show that families should compete over land
