Answer:
Arnie's parents had good jobs in offices, they weren't poor, so they could afford everything Arnie wanted. On the other hand, José and his family were poor, and they had to work hard to survive. Therefore, Arnie's family did not have to beg anyone to help them, to give them jobs, etc. José did not like Arnie and he thought Arnie was spoiled and lazy.
Born Worker is a short story written by Gary Soto which describes the lives of José, a boy with a Mexican American background, who comes from a poor family and has to work all day to help his family, and his rich cousin Arnie, whose parents worked in the offices.
