First, let me tell you a story. (He was talking to his friends, which are in 6th grade like him). Hours ago lived a man named Pablo. He had a donkey, he could not think of a name for his donkey. So you know what he called him, he called him DONKEY!. He always had to yell when he was calling out to his donkey, don’t know why but he does that. One day when Pablo was using the bathroom, he was reading the newspaper and found a map that was pretty big. Later that day he found out that that map was going to lead to a legendary taco shack in the middle of nowhere. Then he met a man that knew where to go. He told Pablo that he needed to cross the forest of the sneaky snakes, the farm of the smelly cows, the driest desert in the world and what we’ve …show more content…
So he grabbed a lot of chips like cheesy puffs and things like that. Later that day he started the trip to the shack. The first place he came to was the forest of the sneaky snake. It was starting to turn night time, so Pablo started to look for the supplies to start a camp fire. BUT THEN he forgot that the only things he brought were chips and a small water bottle that only has 2 ounces. In the middle of the night he was using his donkey as a pillow. He was leaning on the donkey when out of nowhere you could hear “ssssssss”. The donkey got up as fast as he could and since Pablo was leaning on him, he fell back and fell on the snake. It was starting to become morning and Pablo was eating some chips and started to eat. While he was eating he was making his way to the farm of the smelly …show more content…
Then out of nowhere came a farmer, he asked “what you doing disrespecting my Bessie like that”. “Oh sorry… gag… ah sorry about that. We didn’t know we were disrespecting your cow” said Pablo. “Well if you aren’t going buy something than go away” said Billy as he smoked something. “You know you are not supposed to smoke right” said Pablo. “Well if little old Bessie makes this substance, then I can smoke it” said Billy. “Ok that’s enough, I am going on my way to the desert ok, ok. Now bye” said Pablo as he was packing some of that substance in his backpack. (The substance is something I like to call waste) when Pablo noticed a very strong smell he looked in his backpack and saw something horrible. 4 hours later Pablo was still gaging so he tried to get to the desert and started his long

According to President Obama (2014), “If we are serious about economic growth, it is time to heed the call of business leaders, labor leaders, faith leaders, and law enforcement- and fix our broken immigration system. Republicans and Democrats in the Senate have acted. I know that members of both parties in the House want to do the same” (President Obama, 2014).

Discuss Identity in general (do not mention your character yet). Sometimes in a world full of events there are all the ones that are more challenging than others but some people tend to go the extra mile for. Enrique in Sonia Nazario. Enrique's journey. Enrique is determined to go on a journey in search of his mom.
I never expected Enrique’s Journey to be such a personal work. Being a journalistic book, I expected a lot of research in it, but not to the level Nazario’s gone to. Definitely, the way she introduced herself into the enduring situations that migrants go through when they try to reach the US gave me a new perspective of what to expect from the book. She comes from a migrant family too, so she can sort of relate to the characters in the book. However, as she confesses herself, her journey was nowhere as arduous as what these children go through to find their mothers. And the way in which she involved herself into the situation increases her empathy for Enrique en other numberless children.

The most glaring similarity between these two is that neither of the two sure-fire. In Enrique’s Journey, the path from Central America to the United States is ever changing. The journey’s success, for the most part, is based on luck. In fact, Enrique himself made eight attempts before he was able to reach the United States. According to a Department of Homeland Security 2016 report, a mere 46% of attempts illegally cross at border crossings are successful (Tribune). That is saying that there is a better a better chance of guessing a coin flip than managing to end up on the other side. This success rate even assumes immigrants make it to the final border crossing, whereas accounting for the amount of people stopped, captured, or killed along
