392 Words2 Pages

Enrique’s Journey/ Rape in the fields It is time, at last, to speak the truth about Rape in the fields, and Enrique’s Journey. These two documents are more similar than people think. The first similarity between the book and he film. Is that the laws; as we see it are there but are corrupt. For example in the film Rape in the fields, the women will tell the police officers; the males are sexual abused and the officers would not do anything about it because there is no proof that what they’re saying actually happed. The police would take more the sexual offenders words because the female aren’t undocumented. In the book the officers would steal from those who are trying to cross to the United States. Illegal immigrants are afraid to speak

  • Book Report On Enrique's Journey By Nazario

    219 Words  | 1 Pages

    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?”

  • 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.

  • Meaning Of Enrique's Journey By Nazario

    216 Words  | 1 Pages

    While reading Enrique’s Journey, written by Sonia Nazario, a lot of themes were brought out throughout the book that served different meaning in Enrique’s story. The theme that stood out to me, was his journey because Enrique traveled all the way from Honduras to find his mom, who stayed in the United States. There are times in the book when he falls victim to his own shortcomings: doing drugs, tantalizing his mother, mismanaging his finances. He is ready to take yet another journey, this time marked by responsibility instead of adolescent rebellion and resentment. However, Enrique's journey is not only physical, but also mental as he grows from a boy to a man.

    “En Donde Estan” is a documentary film directed by Charlie Minn that I was honored to go watch. first I wasn’t so interested in watching the movie but once I finish seeing it, it brought to me anger, frustration, disappointment into how low and corrupted people can get and how they rather not make justice for those who suffer. Charlie Minn did a great Production where he was able to translate to the audience the pain and worries of women and family. The film was a general idea of what family go through when a female member of a family goes missing and are either never found or found dead, especially in Mexico.

    Living in the Phoenix area, we our politics and local news are often very involved with the issue of immigration into the U.S. from Mexico. We hear politicians going into rants about the apparently ‘damaging’ effects of illegal immigration – with the immigrant activist camp firing back with an equally lengthy and provocative tirade. Mexican American author Luis Alberto Urrea tackled this topic with humor, insight and common sense in his novel, “Into the Beautiful North.” Throughout his novel, Urrea confronts a wide range of issues, ranging from economics, xenophobia, and even feminism. Most importantly, Urrea covers the way that these issues fold into the wider issue of immigration and its real-life impacts on a group of friends.

    Murderers, burglars and kidnappers are not labeled as "illegal" even though they have broken the law. So why should undocumented immigrants be the only ones framed as "illegal?"

  • Analysis Of The Movie Motorcycle Diaries

    1148 Words  | 5 Pages

    In 2004 the film “Motorcycle Diaries” was released depicting the motorcycle journey that Ernesto “Che” Guevara and Alberto Granado took throughout South America. This journey was important because it influenced Guevara’s political ideals and led to his involvement in the cuban revolution and his famous persona as “Che”. The Director Walter Salles understood the importance of the story and wanted to tell it in a less political more emotionally based light (Confluencia, pg.109.) Salles did a great deal of research over a span of three years for this film. He spoke with family members of Alberto and Ernesto, he followed the journey to find realistic shooting locations and studied asthma, leprosy and Inca history (Travelogue, pg16).

  • An Influential Piece Of Art: The Virgin Of Guadalupe

    919 Words  | 4 Pages

    The first piece of artwork I critiqued was the famous Virgin of Guadalupe. The Virgin of Guadalupe is currently exhibited in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The piece of art is not solely a painting, but an enconchado. It was made into wood, and it essentially creates a reflective surface that appears as moving. Also, I like how they explain their theory on the woman of the apocalypse and how it relates to this piece of art.

  • Emanating Rape, By Toni Morrison

    175 Words  | 1 Pages

    The overall idea of the book emanating rape is good. In fact, its great to be talking about this harsh topic but, rape and abuse are something that we need to talk about in a sensitive way. In Morrisons writing she is very descriptive and all parts of the book, including rape sceans. Like, on page 163 she talks about Pecola's rape "he was conscious of her wet, soapy hands on his wrists, the fingers clenching, but whenever her grip was from a hopeless but stubborn struggle to be free". Her was of writing can make you cringe and focus on points that are irrelet to the overall focus of the book.

  • Emilie Buchwald's Transforming A Rape Culture

    1859 Words  | 8 Pages

    Rape culture is a serious societal issue amongst us today. It has become such a normality that society ignores rape culture for what it truly is, an abomination to women (and some men). It is a way to further demean women for being just what they are, female. Many people believe that rape culture can be attributed to the action of rape itself, they believe that rape culture stems from the act. In fact, that statement is false and rape culture has more so to do with how society sees women and how women are treated due to the everlasting ideals of patriarchy.
