Read the excerpt from Esperanza Rising.

She remembered that he had gone to look for work at the railroad. "Did you get a job?"

His sniffle faded. He put his hands in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders. "It is frustrating. I can fix any engine. But they will only hire Mexicans to lay track and dig ditches, not as mechanics. I've decided to work in the fields until I can convince someone to give me a chance."

What do the underlined words help the reader understand about Miguel’s character?

Miguel is proud to work as a mechanic.
Miguel is happy to live at a work camp.
Miguel is angry at his sister, Esperanza.
Miguel is discouraged because he cannot find work.
