He ends up spending the money for a good cause but it still meant a lot for him he went through struggles to overcome all his obstacles and be able to finish his way around the world.

Enrique’s Journey is a work of nonfiction. What sparked the idea for the book? One of the goals of any type of research is to deepen an understanding of the issue. How does Nazario set out to accomplishment this goal? How is her method of research appropriate for the story she wanted to tell?
In Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five he talks about many different themes. He quotes, makes fun of, and uses many different themes. I would like to talk about one major theme in Slaughterhouse Five, religion. In the book he uses religion to teach important lessons, he used it as inspiration, and he even pokes fun at religion.
The book I chose to read is Bull Rider it is written by Suzanne williams. The book Bull Rider has 128 pages it took me about 1 day to read the entire book. I learned that when times are tough and it is hard to get out of bed in the morning you have to grit your teeth put your feet on the floor and keep stepping forward or the world is going to pass you by.
The story of Enrique's Journey is about a young man struggling to find his mom in America, all the while desperately trying to cross multiple borders to reach the U.S. The theme of Enrique’s Journey is about poverty and how if affects the people around it. Sonia Nazario’s message about poverty is that it’s extremely rampant in central america and that it affects everyone around it. The theme of poverty is constantly shown throughout the book; the significance of it is that poverty greatly affects every aspect of life. I came to this conclusion based on the fact that she very descriptively describes life in Central America and how she uses this to allude to the many problems that Enrique must overcome.
Then later on, when they got to know each other, it hits Enrique that his mom left him; this causes him to start bad habits because the resentment grows. This shows that she interviewed him and found out how he felt about everything. Another example, the author sets out on this journey herself by taking the same path Enrique did. The author states, “Then I began to retrace his steps, doing the journey exactly as he had done it a few weeks before” (xix). Ethos is present because it shows credibility by saying she is going to achieve this journey herself. She is going to observe the areas that Enrique passed through on his way to the United States. Retracing this journey, Sonia Nazario realizes the bad conditions and how hard Enrique had to try to get across. By doing this it gave her even more knowledge on exactly what happens by experiencing it in a similar way. Furthermore, Nazario talks about how woman in Honduras live a very hard life. Sonia explains, “As I followed Enrique’s footsteps, I learned the depths of desperation woman face in countries such as Honduras, most earn $40-120 a month working in a factory, cleaning houses, or providing child care”(xxiii). Ethos is shown because the readers can tell Nazario has knowledge on the kind of hardships woman face during their life in Honduras. She knows they try their hardest to provide for their family. They sometimes do not get through living in these conditions so they head for the United States to send money
I think one of the main themes of Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson is injustice. Ruth and her sister experience tons of unjust situations. Isabel is forced to grow up fast and be a mother to Ruth in order to fulfill her promise to her mother. Since she had to take care of her sister right after her mother's death, she was left with no time to grieve the loss of yet another parent. She did this because she was to be a strong example for Ruth. Throughout the book you could really see Isabel grow as a person as she overcame challnges.
Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMCGs) is a contemporary issue that engulfs Australian society. What makes prosecution of such gangs so complex is the strong foothold that gangs have in organised crime and the façade that is worn in order to evade the eyes of the law. Various responses have been implemented in order to cease all violence and more importantly disenfranchise organised crime and prosecute those within the illegal syndicates. Legal responses put into act are: task forces and intelligence and lastly, targeting the organisation and membership. The non-legal responses on the other hand are, the media and the formation of political parties.
High Noon, which is an old western type of movie, is about a sheriff named Will Kane that has to fight to save his town. "The Most Dangerous Game", which is a short story about a man named Rainsford who has to fight for his survival. High Noon and "The Most Dangerous Game" have similar main characters and similar story patterns, but have a different overall theme.
An individual’s discovery is transformative on their perceptions of the world. This is the case for the book ‘The Motorcycle Diaries’ by Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara and Keats’s sonnet “On first looking into Chapman’s Homer”. In this book, we are taken on Che’s journey as he travels Latin America as a young man, before the fame. His diary entries lead the reader into his own eyes, as a typical young man on an adventure, not the revolutionary figure we all associate him with. Through his descriptive entries of the landscape he journeys across, we discover his deeper connection to the land of South America and the love he has for its people. As well as the beautiful things that South America has to
It was very interesting to read an essay that talks about the illegal hispanic population in the United States. I believe it was interesting because we do not see this often. I have seen how many people are afraid to talk about illegal immigrants because they think it will create many arguments and disagreements. I found some of the numbers surprising. I did not know that the Hispanic population has grown this much in the country. Chavez says “But among the illegal population, 47% of households consist of a mother, a father and their children” (455). The quote indicates that in the Hispanic culture, the two-parent household is still something important that remains alive and well. I believe that in the Hispanic culture family is a priority,
V for Vendetta sets the Gunpowder Plot as V's historical inspiration, contributing to his choice of timing, language and appearance For example, the names Rookwood, Percy and Keyes are used in the film, which are also the names of three of the Gunpowder conspirators. The film creates parallels to Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo, by drawing direct comparisons between V and Edmond Dantès. (In both stories, the hero escapes an unjust and traumatic imprisonment and spends decades preparing to take vengeance on his oppressors under a new persona.) The film is also explicit in portraying V as the embodiment of an idea rather than an individual through V's dialogue and by depicting him without
So from a young age Guevara was exposed to political discussions and debate in the house. Ernesto also had developed asthma from an early age on which had hunted him till his last days. His struggle to endure and overcome this asthma developed a notable will power and a sense of purpose to triumph over. Due to his illness as a child he was forced to spend long periods at home, and encouraged by his parents he became an passionate reader.
The theme of the novel, Everything, everything, is that you must take risks in order to be satisfied with your life.
In the film Crash (2004), the director’s use of internal conflict reveals that the main idea of the film, which is that some people stereotype others based on their skin color or countries of origin without knowing them, which is dangerous because it can lead to violence and unrest. Haggis, the director, uses the film to suggest that people should not judge anyone just because of their skin color or countries because it may cause people to hate each other.
In The Motorcycle Diaries, Guevara’s discoveries of the devastating effects of US neo-colonialism in Latin America are only fully understood upon his rediscoveries of the equally harmful nature of not only tourism, but also his own vagabond traveling. Through their encounters with farm labourers, Guevara’s initial discovery of the Araucanian race’s “deep suspicion of the white man who… now continues to exploit them” is shown through the prominent motif of sharing mate, which highlights the early understanding between them. However, this understanding is expanded upon reaching Cuzco, where the symbolic juxtaposition of the three layers of the city emphasises his reassessment of how “a hesitant tourist [also] pass[es] over things superficially”. Even further, in Guevara’s encounter with the Chilean communist couple, graphic imagery accentuates his rediscovery of the “parasitic nature” of not
