Book Report On Enrique's Journey By Nazario

219 Words1 Page

The book I am reading is Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario. I predict that the author will explore the human rights issue of Immigration Laws and the plight of illegal aliens in the United States. I believe that this issue will be important in the story because Enrique the main character in the story is very driven to find his mother who has gone herself illegally to the United States to earn money to provide an education for her children and to better the life of her family. I made this prediction because Lourdes leaves her children in Honduras as she goes to make money in the United States and her son Enrique is left saying “Donde esta mi mami?” “Where is my mom?” Nobody tells him where his mother is going or when she will be back because

  • Source Analysis: Enrique's Border Crossing Children

    185 Words  | 1 Pages

    Border Crossing Children - I selected this source because this is an experience Enrique had barely avoided during his journey. Also not only does it apply to central America, this is an interesting topic were the Article doesn’t just go over rules people don’t follow. US-Divided Families - I selected this source because this was not talked about much in my book. Though Enrique found part of his family in the US, the book didn’t go over this topic that much. So I am interested to read something like this, as well as this topic affects America.

  • Summary Of Isla By Virgil Alvarez

    469 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “Isla” by Virgil Suárez the author uses imagery and descriptive phrases to paint a picture of the pain an immigrant experiences in a world, described as an island, where they are unwanted and unwelcome (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012, p.679). The author’s use of descriptive phrases allows me to see the world as through the eyes of the young boy and I can see reality as the young boy believes it to be (JOLLIMORE, 2009). Just as the monster Godzilla would rise up against those determined to suppress his existence, an immigrant must rise up against oppression in an environment where he was not wanted (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012, p.679). Being an immigrant is likened to being on an island exiled away from all that is acceptable. “Isla” or island is

  • Analysis Of Nicolas Enriquez's The Virgin Of Guadalupe

    1167 Words  | 5 Pages

    Nicolas Enriquez’s piece titled The Virgin of Guadalupe with the Four Apparitions depicts the Virgin mother Mary as she revealed herself to a newly transformed Christian Native named Juan Diego. This 1773 painting is a reproduction of the 1531believed arheiropoeita of Virgin Mary when she descends on Mount Tepeyac and tells Indian Juan Diego to go inform the bishop that a temple shall be built for her.
