Question

Explain how the diction and characterization indicate the author’s purpose for writing about a human rights issue in Enrique's Journey.

Answer 1

Answer:

Enrique, on his journey, went through many fearful situations. The resolution of the plot is that in the end he finally found his mother. The author's point of view was to tell you the story of one boy's journey so that we would have a better understanding of immigration. There were many human rights issues that took place. People were beaten, robbed, raped and had little food to eat. The author wanted people who read her nook to see what immigrants went through to find their family or just a better way to live.

The author is not only telling Enrique's story, but she has also included facts about immigration.

How about now?
