...For my second experiencing history memoir I read Enrique's Journey. Enrique’s journey starts to take place in the 1989 time period, when George Bush was the president of the United States, and there was an illegal alien problem. George Bush wanted to see some immigrants legal and have them be part of his “family” (U.S.A.). He thought there was a problem because the system broke and people from other countries were working very hard to come to the U.S. Enrique was a young boy from Honduras, his mother left when he was a young boy. He lived with his Father, and Grandmother. Then he moves in with his Uncle. His uncle died, he ended up on the streets, and he started doing drugs. Then he tried staying with his mom's side of family, they wouldn't...

...In chapter 2 of Enrique’s Journey we begin the journey with Enrique to the United States in search of his mother. We are shown the trials and tribulations that Enrique is faced with through out his journey. While reading this book I came across a few significant issues that opened my eyes: the number of times Enrique has to restart his journey, the cruelty he had to endure, and Maria Isabel’s decision to search for Enrique. We learn at the beginning of the chapter that Enrique has to ultimately restart his journey to America multiple times. Each time he sets out through Mexico he is caught by the la migra. This is devastating to me and I could not imagine the determination Enrique mentally and physically has. I have a feeling that each time he sets out and he get caught he is more and more discouraged, and each time it takes more for him to start again. He is definitely having to fight the urge to quit, and return home to Honduras. Usually when Enrique was caught and sent back to the Guatemala boarder is was never in a calm way. The la migra was always harsh and attacked Enrique. Many time the only thing they did would be stealing his money but other times they would beat him. The most resent time we learned about while reading was probably the worst of all....

...In Chapter 6 of Enrique’s Journey, Enrique has finally made it to the boarder of Mexico and Texas at the Rio Grande River. This chapter is about the beginning of Enrique’s life in America. During this chapter I found a few more key points. The first key point in the chapter came up when Enrique was crossing the Rio Grande River. I think about how many immigrants cross that boarder every day and are killed trying to make their dreams come true by coming to America. In the book is says that “Up to three migrants have drowned in a single day along this stretch of river.” What amazes me about this statement is that they say “this stretch of the river.” That means that even more die along other parts of the river which is probably a pretty high...
