Book posting 4

Enrique the boy from my book endured a long journey to get to the United States from Honduras. He came alone and young. He struggled to survive, he starved, he was beaten, he was cold, no place to stay and felt abandoned. He had to arrive to the United States alone like many other illegal immigrants. A lot  of my family members also came here to the United States undocumented. They came  from Mexico in hopes of a better life but they didnt have to go through what Enrique went through. They travel was easy and fast and they werent alone. they were probably around Enriques age but they were the ones leaving their mothers and family behind becasue they wanted to earn a better living for themselves and their family.Like Enrique though, they had family awaiting them in the United States and so when they finally made it to the United States it was easy to settle in and everybody was caring and happy to have them there. But with Enrique he was very happy to finally have his mother with him, but their relationship still had its ups and down. It was like a rollarcoaster.At points Lourdes ( his mother) and Enriques could not stand each other and go on each others nerves. There were times that Enrique even disobeyed his mother because he said that his gandmother was his real mother because she was the one that raised him not lourdes. I must hurt a mother and child to have their relationship torn because of so many years of each others abscene and then when you have them with you, its hard to think of one another as family.
