From the novel "Esperanza Rising", the honor given Esperanza was that of cutting the first bunch of grapes from the vine as a signal for the start of the harvest season, per the following excerpt: "Papa handed Esperanza the knife . . . This job was usually reserved for the eldest son of a wealthy rancher, but since Esperanza was an only child and Papa's pride and glory, she was always given the honor. [Papa] swept his hand toward the grapevines, signaling Esperanza . . . When she reached the vines, she separated the leaves and carefully grasped a thick stem. She put the knife to it, and with a quick swipe, the heavy cluster of grapes dropped into her waiting hand. Esperanza walked back to Papa and handed him the fruit. Papa kissed it and held it up for all to see. "¡La cosecha!" said Papa. "Harvest!"
