What was her overall experience in this chapter.
Although Ehrenreich finds the people in Minnesota friendly, her time there isn't easy. She has difficulty finding somewhere to stay, jobs do not pay enough to subsist on, and a lack of kitchen (she's staying at a hotel) means she is consistently eating fast food. In the end, she finds herself unable to survive and pretty much ends her experiment.
