He was confident and made new friends.

He was indifferent and uninterested.

He thought they were hostile and discriminatory.

He felt they were safe and encouraging.

He found them welcoming and supportive.

That he wanted to return to Arizona.

That farm work was the best career for him.

That he needed to fight for farm workers' rights.

That he should move to a different state.
