OVERVIEW

Enrique's Journey
Dajiana Bunton
        I'm glad i decided to read this novel. The main character faces a lot of adversity and is placed in a lot of difficult situations and it was interesting the way he got out of them. First , his mother leaves him to go to the United States so that she can try to better herself and make a better life for them but he misses her and she's been gone for years. He takes is out on the people that takes him in when his mother leaves and has to be moved from home to home. Enrique uses behavior strategies and acts out to get attention because he feels like, no one loves him. He disrespects his family members and he uses drug to cope with dealing with his hard life. He finally gives up and decides to go look for his mother.
        Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the book by the dead line but Enrique did face some difficulties while trying to get to the United States. He is departed many times. He is chased down, beaten and in hiding all while trying to get to the United States. Even though, I was not able to finish this novel in time, I plan to continue reading to see if he finds his mother and the different emotions he gets once he finds her.
