Paragraph One-

Throughout the story Enrique went

through a lot of scary and hard
situations that sadly more kids and
people than we would imagine
face. The resolution of the plot in
Enrique’s Journey was revealed
when
Enrique was finally able to find his
mother and reunite with her. There
were also many human rights
issues that were presented
throughout the story where people
suffered with poverty, rape,
immigrating
for a better life somewhere else.
When reading the story, the author
wanted the people who read her
book to see the hardships that
immigrants like Enrique go
through everyday just to go to
another
country to start a better life and be
more successful, or in Enrique’s
case find his mom.
Paragraph Two-
The author’s diction and
characterization indicate that she
wrote this story to inform others of
how hard
it was for immigrants going to the
United States, or other countries in
general because they can get
caught and then their progress of
getting a new or better life starts
all over again. This is shown when
the
author says “Near Tierra Blanca, a
small town in Veracruz state,
authorities snatch them from the
top of
a freight car. The officers take
them to a cell filled with MS
gangsters, then deport them.” This
shows that
some get caught while trying to
make their way across the border
in hopes of a better life. Another
example where the author shows
difficulties of crossing the border
is “They set out with little or no
money… Since the 1990s, Mexico
and the United States have tried to
thwart them. To evade Mexican
police and immigration authorities,
the children jump on and off the
moving train cars. Sometimes they
fall, and the wheels tear them
apart… Often, they don’t know
where or when they’ll get their
next meal.
Some go days without eating.”
This shows the struggles of
poverty, starvation, and
immigration that the
immigrants that made it to the
United States and other countries
went through just like Enrique
went
through similar hardship
