Enrique's Journey by Sonia Nazario6/27/2023 He experienced love and care, which he hadn’t seen before from his family. With the appearance of Marco, there was a light in Enrique’s future. One might mention that one of the significant characters in the book was Enrique’s uncle Marco, who, unfortunately, did not stay in the boy’s life for a long time. Besides showing the dangers and fears of migration, the book represents the outcomes of the separation from parents. Enrique had a problematic life, changing his family members’ houses, not experiencing a mother’s love, which made him a rival and developed a drug addiction in the boy (Nazario 32). The feeling that children get by being abandoned by their parents, the inner fights that parents have as they are unable to keep their promises about reunion touch one’s heart sincerely. It is terrifying to read about such a painful life story of a family, realizing that there are numerous families like that one in real life. The major character of the book, Enrique, was left by his mother in early childhood, who, with the help of a smuggler, went to America to be able to support her children financially. Enrique’s Journey raises substantial obstacles and describes the harsh reality that the migrants from Central America face on their journey to the US, traveling across Mexico.
