I can only imagine what immigrating to america is like for these families, everyday children my age and younger are risking their lives to come to America and It really makes me appreciate how much I have. For Lourdes, Enrique, and Maria Isabel in Enrique’s Journey they must make the hard decision of leaving everything they grew up with in Honduras to come to america for a better life. Lourdes, Enrique’s mother, could no longer afford to feed and send her children to school and was struggling to make money with her job. “Lordes can think of only one place that offers hope… Lourdes has decided: She will leave. She will go to the United States, and make money and send it home.” (p.20) Lourdes decides to make the trip because it

Immigration is a very dangerous and risky journey. Everyday immigrants try so hard to make it to the United States. This journey involves parents trying to support kids back home, families trying to start over, or kids trying to get to their mom; but some do not make it through this hardship. Those individuals, who make it, try like never before to support themselves and the family they needed to leave behind. Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario is a well written novel that uses many pathos, logos, and ethos examples. Each one of them is used effectively because of the way students are persuaded in believing there true. Elements from the quotes can reveal that Sonia is knowledgeable and

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). The United States of American has long been the safe haven for those who seek to escape poverty, hunger, torture, and oppression in their home countries. According to the film, The Other Side of Immigration (2009), in 1970, the United States housed 750,000 immigrants and as of 2009, there are

Is it good for the United States and its citizens?” Answer these questions, supporting your answer with information found in the Afterword section of the book.

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 authors in the books Catch the Moon, Enrique’s Journey and The Odyssey address the idea that separation can affect a person’s life. There are many ways that separation can affect someone's life but the common one in these three books is change in personality. Change in personality can be a good thing or a bad thing. However, characters in these stories transitioned in a bad way. The books Catch The Moon by Judith Cofer, Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario and The Odyssey by Homer reveal the idea that separation from someone you love can completely change you, it can lead to personal transformation.

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

The author of this book, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, was born in Aracataca, Colombia in 1928. Marquez was raised by his grandparents and his grandfather was a Liberal veteran who fought in the Thousand Days War. His grandfather was a colonel who was highly respected and considered a hero by Colombian Liberals. His grandfather was well known for his refusal to remain silent about the banana massacres that took place the year after Garcia Marquez was born (like the massacre in the novel). His grandfather was also a great storyteller. He took Marquez to the circus each year and also introduced him to ice at the United Fruit Company store. Marquez’s grandfather also taught him that there is no greater burden than to kill another human being, which

I choose to research “El Pablo Escobar”, because his lifestyle caught my eye. I instantly caught interest in wanting to know more of what he’s like. Other people in the world think El Pablo Escobar was born from hell, I think he was a person trying to survive in this cruel world. We all do things that we’re not proud of, but that’s just the nature of life. We do unusual things that some people just don’t understand, some of us grew up poor or mentally abused in our own mind. Creates people like El Pablo Escobar who become so violent in nature, they become the wolf not the sheep. I’ll be also writing about the way he grew up to become so successful in the person he became, and the ways he gained power.
