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?”
Jose Antonio Vargas became part of the large illegal immigration system as a result of his mother illegally flying Vargas into the United States at the age of twelve. As a teenager, Vargas grew up with knowledge of his illegal status and managed to evade authorities while living a decent life. But, as Vargas started his path to a high profile career in journalism, his illegal status began to follow him and therefore Vargas’ situation was getting complicated. Eventually, Vargas in an emotional piece declared his illegal immigrant status and naturally, people chose to either defend Vargas or censure Vargas. Rory O’Connor is an example of someone who chose to defend Vargas after the declaration.
Some possible reasons that makes Nora Rodriguez a hero are that she tried helping immigrants to get legalized in the U.S by telling them what to put in the forms. In the article ir says,"She helps them to fill out forms and to write letters the immigration office requires. "This shows that she likes helping those who need the help. This evidence is important because it shows that not all Americans are mean and selfish. Another possible reason that makes Nora Rodriguez a hero is that she helps anybody and doesn 't care of nationality.

This essay is going to describe focus on the work of the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), a nonprofit organization that offers inexpensive legal, educational, and advocacy services to Central American immigrants. Created in 1983 in San Fernando Valley, CARECEN was originally known as the Central American Refugee Center. The founder was a Salvadoran refugee who was determined to attain legal status for the many Central Americans who were running away from their country 's civil war. Throughout the past three decades, the organization has worked with movements such as “ICE Out of L.A.,” “TPS to Residency Campaign,” “Restore Day Labor Center Funding Campaign,” among many others. For this reason, in this essay I will argue that CARECEN
In the article, What Makes a Hero, the author says that a hero is “someone who is willing to make a personal sacrifice for the benefit of others”, and in the novel, The Outsiders, Johnny is the main hero of the story. He is a kid whose parents never cared for him, and even went as far as to beat him. He is part of a social gang called the Greasers, and throughout the story you can see that this gang, and the members in it, are Johnny’s real family. The article, What Makes a Hero, is about the idea of what a hero is, and what would make a hero. In The Outsiders, Johnny put others before himself several times, including, when Johnny ran into a burning church in order to save children from the fire and later saved Ponyboy, when Johnny saved Ponyboy’s life from another social group called the Socs, and when Johnny decided that he was going to turn himself into the police for murder, so that Ponyboy didn’t have
I rated Stargirl frequently demonstrated for Individual, which means she decides for herself, because she doesn’t let what other people say bother her. For example, everyone was being mean to her and treating her badly but she decides for herself to not let it bug her. At the Hot Seat everyone was attacking her with questions. Like “Why are you so different?
Leo choose his peers attention instead of Stargirls and I think he is wrong to choose his peers attention. Stargirl and Leo were always together and they cared and loved for each other very much. They were always together, both Stargirl and Leo laid out in the grass, looked up at the stars,thought about nothing, and relaxed together. Dori was the only person Stargirl had to talk to but Dori doesn't like Stargirl anymore because she changed into Susan so, Stargirl has no one to talk to anymore.

Carmilla and Hedda are sympathetic figures and villains because both women are living lives that they did not chose for themselves, and the women are villains because they take on revenge on people instead of accepting their new lives.

Do you ever dream about how it would feel to be a hero for a day? You could have the courage that others look up to. What about an awesome costume to wear? We are surrounded by heros everyday. Regardless of what you think a hero is or who might be a hero, you will find heroes in television shows and even in the film industry.
You may define a hero as someone with supernatural capabilities. Superman is a hero; he can fly, see through walls, and lift things with ease. You may define a hero as someone strong in your family that works as a firefighter or a police officer. The dictionary definition of a hero would be a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). A hero to me has two meanings.
A hero exhibits many qualities. Responsibility, bravery, and loyalty are just a few on many qualities that can be found in heroes. But to me, some of the most important qualities a hero needs are recognizing one's flaws and weaknesses, listening to others, and selflessness. With recognizing one's flaws and weaknesses, a person, a hero, can learn what they need to do to better themselves. They know the limit of their abilities and can work to improve themselves.
