Respuesta :
Krajiek is only tolerated by the Shimerdas because he speaks their language.
The Shimerdas are exploited by Krajiek because they rely on anyone who speaks their language because they do not speak English. The Shimerdas are unable to learn the fundamentals of farming and housekeeping on the frontier because they lack a reliable network of people who can assist them in adjusting to their new surroundings. The Shimerdas' poverty is attributed to either cultural differences or Mrs. Shimerda's overbearing personality, which Jim's grandparents do not yet fully comprehend. Due to differences in culture and language, they are unable to determine the precise amount of assistance that the Shimerdas require. The topic of social partition between new migrant families and "Americans" is a focal one in the book.
During those first months, the Shimerdas never got down to business. They were encouraged by Krajiek's belief that they would be mysteriously separated from their money in Black Hawk. They detested Krajiek, but they held on to him because he was the only person they could talk to or get information from. In the dugout barn, he slept with the oxen, the two boys, and the elderly man. In the same way that prairie dogs and brown owls house rattlesnakes, they fed him and kept him in their hole because they didn't know how to get rid of him.
