chapter 1

This first chapter makes me reflect on this situation as worrying as immigration is, it is something very worrying that is hardly talked about just like Carmen there are many more women, men and families who go through this situation, it is something very sad and As the author of the book explains, it is a very difficult situation since it is very hard to imagine separating yourself from a family member, be it your mother, your father or a brother without knowing if you will see him again, it seems to me a story to reflect on how difficult it is living in a country that does not give you the growth opportunities you need and this leads you to immigrate to another country, having to face risky situations where you could lose your life, the text is very interesting since the author shows us his empathy With Carmen, this immigrant who moved away from her children in order to give them a better quality of life, explains to us why she feels identified with them, although not in the same way, and that is why she ventures to the f borders to document the dangerous journey that a child makes to see his mother again, another thing that caught my attention was that he talks about sexual assaults against women and girls, this is an issue that should be raised awareness.

THE BOOK IS VERY INTERESTING AND STRONG TO ME, BECAUSE I RELATE IT TO MY UNCLE'S EXPERIENCE WHEN HE CAME TO TELL ME, HE ALSO WENT IN SEARCH OF THE AMERICAN DREAM. THE SITUATION BROUGHT TO US IN THE BOOK IS A VERY SAD REALITY IN WHICH MIGRATES SUFFER TOO MUCH DURING THEIR JOURNEY AND ARE EXPOSED TO TOO MANY DANGERS. IT ALSO REFLECTS US HOW A WOMAN CAN BE EXPOSED TO MORE RISKS AND BE DENIGRATED.

I find this chapter interesting since it tells us about Carmen, she is an immigrant who works for Sonia, and she is the one who tells us about the situation of Carmen and the immigrants, she tells us that Carmen does the cleaning in Sonia's house, she He tells her that he has 2 children and apart from a baby that he takes to the USA, while the other two children he had to leave in Guatemala. She tells him that she has to work for her children. Sonia also comments that she emigrated but legally while Carmen had to cross the borders illegally.

She say that the police didn’t do nothing to protect the immigrants and sometimes the police kill people and explains that the immigrant woman always have sexual assault especially young girls.

It is about a boy who undertakes a trip to the United States to look for his mother and what it is like to grow up without a mother figure, in reality it is a book that tells us about Enrique's perspective on this journey, on the other hand, the mother says that he He did to help him with money and give him a good life, however this also has consequences for Enrique because he tells us about the abuse, hunger, physical exhaustion that he had to endure.

Personally, it seems to me a difficult issue since it occurs all over the world and both parties seek wellbeing regardless of the fact that they risk everything, even their lives. It is a debatable topic since every action has a consequence and there are many opinions about it, in addition the book makes you reflect to think, how satisfied and well you are with your life, are you taking advantage of the opportunities you have?

This topic in particular is very interesting to me since I know of people who migrated from their country to another, sometimes they do not go far from their home but there are people who travel thousands of kilometers from their home to achieve their dream and sustenance, that is why carmen's story impacts me because with her courage she is about to leave honduras to follow her dream and continues advancing even though she is very afraid of the insecurities and dangers as she approaches the border, she amazes me how she does everything everything possible and the desire to fulfill their goals and dreams comes to the fore

 DANIEL OROPEZA BAHENA Seeing the story of Enrique and his family is something that happens with many peopleIt's a pretty moving story because to achieve the American dream you have to go through a lot of traumatic things. Leaving your country of origin in order to achieve and be able to overcome, leaving family is not easy, it is a sadness to see how we are as a country without being able to do anything because of corrupt governments. In my opinion, this book made me reflect and see all the effort that parents make to move their family forward is something beautiful but sad to achieve if you are alone and without the help of anyone.

In this first part of the book, the story of Carmen and her time in the United States is told.
Carmen is an immigrant who had to find a way to cross the border to give her children a better life.
I am very impressed by her son's desire to see his mother, and in some way to get there with her, it is impressive what migrant children suffer, cold conditions, hunger and a lot of danger.
One of Enrique's purposes is to know how this situation is lived, and thus show the uncontrolled situation that is lived, to society.

the dead train
The death train was the first great public slaughter of civilians in our war. On August 12, 1936, a train from Jaén was immobilized by militia groups at a stop near Vallecas. Its passengers, more than two hundred men and one woman, arrested in the Spanish province for their right-wing political affiliation or Catholicism, since the main one was the Bishop of Jaén, were being taken to the Alcalá de Henares prison. Faced with pressure from the militiamen, the government agreed to have the prisoners shot. Only a few managed to escape and later told their horrifying story.


Santiago Mata has carried out an exhaustive investigation, sticking to the documents and the facts, and has interviewed one of the survivors, in order to explain what exactly happened and why the Francoist side later preferred to forget this terrible episode.

In the chapter we are given an explanation about the number of immigrant women in Los Angeles, it is very common for women to abandon their children in their country of origin with the intention of going out to seek a better quality of life, she will find out about this because most earn a minimum wage that is between $ 30 - $ 130 per month,  this salary is paid by doing jobs where they do not ask for resident papers. The only thing he is looking for is a better quality of life, to be able to send money to his family so that they can live a better life.

# data[].attributes.body
She says many immigrant women in Los Angeles from Central America or Mexico are single mothers who abandoned their children in their home countries. She began to understand the depth of despair women face in countries like hers. In Honduras, for example, most earn between $40 and $120 a month working in a factory, cleaning houses or taking care of children. A shack with no bathroom or kitchen rents for nearly $30 a month. She hoped that she could earn money here and send it home to provide her children with an escape from the dire poverty in which she herself grew up. She wanted to give them the opportunity to attend school after sixth grade. She speaks to me proudly of the clothes, the money and the photos that she sends them.

I find it very interesting since it tells us a little about what is currently happening with immigration reform. That we can now also observe. In this case, it tells us about a Honduran boy searching for his mother, once years after she is forced to leave her starving family to find work in the United States. Facing unimaginable dangers. Enrique travels through hostile worlds full of thugs, bandits and corrupt policemen. But he keeps going, relying on his wits, courage, hope, and the kindness of strangers.

In the first chapter of the book It talks about Carmen who left for the United States and has been separated from her children, she explains that she has not seen them in 12 years and that her husband abandoned her and her children for another woman.
He also tells that a drug trafficker charges him for passing his children illegally, this topic makes us see how there are many people who have to leave who they love to be able to feed them, it is something that has always existed but if we focus on each story the people to whom this happens suffer a lot and find themselves in a dilemma between what they should or should not do for the people they love

It speaks to us how immigration and a lady who has to leave as an immigrant to the United States to give a better life to her children, it is interesting to see what people get to do to have a better life and without poverty, exposing themselves to the risks that this entails, going cold, hungry and more, while other people arrive with ease,  she still talks about Sonia had to leave, but she says that she had no problem arriving easily.

# data[].attributes.body
I am very struck by the content of the chapter, since it compares two totally different ones, although both are a reality; one sadder than the other.
How they have to emigrate from their home to achieve a better quality of life; since most of these people come from places with extreme poverty and what they really seek is a better future for their family; Although the trip they make is very risky, since they are exposed to things such as physical or sexual abuse and even kidnapping; which is an admirable thing, because they know what they are exposed to, but they still decide to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
In reading, we notice two people who lived very different cases.

Sonia had to leave for different reasons and even commented that she was able to go through legally, without any setbacks that were prevented.
Carmen tells us about the difficulties she had, the main setback she went through was the abandonment of her husband so she had that need to go to the USA to feed her children.
Carmen works for Sonia, doing the cleaning; In a conversation on the kitchen island Carmen asks Sonia: "Mrs. Sonia, do you ever plan to have a baby?, to which Sonia replies that she was not sure.
Carmen has a son who sometimes takes him with her to watch TV, and she also has four other children, two sons and two daughters who are in Guatemala leaving them behind when she went to work in the USA.

It was interesting for me to read how he addresses the issue of immigrants, everything that they have to live and go through to be able to overcome themselves, how they fight to have a better life, how most of the time they do not have enough money and they have to sacrifice things like not eating so that the little they earn lasts for when they get more money again and always looking for a way to get the family forward, each one lived it differently, Carmen traveling from Honduras experiencing fear and danger while I was going to get to the border, while Sonia arrived by plane.

It is a sad and true story since many families leave their homes and are given the need to migrate to have a better economy, knowing the risk they take in doing so, sexual abuse, kidnapping, traffincking of people to slavery this story is an example that we tells this mther who gives everything for her son but the child suffers because he knows that his mother is not with him, she gives him everything he needs, except the love of a mother, several families experience this.

# data[].attributes.body
We know the many difficulties that happen during immigration. Within our first chapter we have as protagonists Carmen and Sonia. They show us how they experienced it in a very different way.

Let’s start with Carmen, who tells us that she works for Sonia, doing her cleaning. She has 3 children, two that she left in Guatemala and a baby that she takes to the United States to emigrate with her. She talks about the difficulties she went through, her main reason was that her husband abandoned her, so she had that need to go to America so she could support her children.

While Sonia immigrated for different reasons and even told Carmen that she crossed legally, without problems.

# data[].attributes.body
The reading is very interesting since it explains to us that the life of an immigrant is very difficult, and in this chapter he tells us about Carmen and Sonia and about what each one had to go through to reach what is currently considered a better life. however, it is still very difficult, as Carmen is constantly frustrated that she cannot support and see her children.

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion on this topic. It is very sad. From this we can see the immense love that a mother has for her children. Everything to get ahead. Get out of the poverty of food shortages that existed in her country. One has to emigrate to another country to improve their economy. And more than anything that of a son. Even if you don't see its growth. Where you are not to see their moments of joy. People who out of necessity have to emigrate go through different deficiencies and abuses: rapes, kidnappings and consequently slavery, a very clear example is this story, the one that tells us how a mother gives everything because her children are fine in spite of it . This story is very sad. As bad as your country is. You have to get out of it. To improve.

I found this chapter interesting because it tells us about Carmen, who is an immigrant who works for Sonia, who is the one who tells us about the situation of Carmen and the emigrants, she tells us that Carmen does the cleaning in Sonia's house, she tells her that She has 2 children apart from a baby which she takes to the USA and the other two children she had to leave in Guatemala.
To which Sonia asked him why he had to emigrate!? Which Carmen also comments that her husband left her and her children which drives single mothers to emigrate; he has to work for his children.
Sonia also comments that she emigrated but legally while Carmen had to cross the borders.

He tells us about immigrants and the difficult decisions they must make in order to have a better life, he tells us about Carmen who had to leave her children, so that she could give her children a better life, however, she also comments that It is still difficult because even though she worked hard it is not enough to feed four children, she explains how difficult it was for her and her children when they had nothing to eat. Although we know that there are many people who leave their children and loved ones in order to have what is called a decent life, Carmen talks about her experience as an immigrant and what she had what to happen It's interesting.

I was interested in reading how he addresses the issue of immigrants, in our first chapter we have Carmen and Sonia as protagonists.
Who tells us how he migrates to the United States and suffers too much to be able to get there and give his children a better quality of life.
She talks about the difficulties she went through, her main reason was that her husband abandoned her, so she had to go to the United States

For me, the issue of immigrants is something strong since in immigration you experience very ugly things like what you have to go through to be able to leave and be able to one day improve yourself and reach a better place for your family and they or sometimes leave your family to look for something better, some times they do not have enough resources such as money, they come to things like giving up eating to save what they have, in case it is seen that Carme travels from Honduras with fear and danger while arriving at the border and Sonia in plane. We see that some people have to get ahead easier and others do not.

Hello Guys!

I like so much this book because talk about of a woman stronger for the life of your children.
I think that this book is especially for family with problems for can we have a solution in your life, because  the more important in a family are the children.

In this book talk about of Carmen, when I listen the name of her I remember the nmane of my mom because the name of my mom is Carmen, Usually I have many ideas for can have good communication with me and others integrants of my family .

Sometimes I think that any country can search work for have a life better.

i am surprised by this type of situation because every day that passes can be several people trying to emigrate to the united states, to have a better life, there are also children who go in search of their relatives, many manage to pass, but many do not get it, in the case that is presented to us here there are two ways to cross into the united states, one of them is legally where you process your visa, buy your ticket and go directly to your destination, the second, more dangerous is to pay a person called the "coyotes" or "polleros" and they pass you to the united states through the desert, but nothing is certain that you will arrive well at your destination

The chapter is too interesting, because it shows us a very close reality of what most people do to improve the quality of life.
Migration is the exact point that the chapter of the book touches, it tells us how a lady migrates to the United States and suffers too much to be able to get there and give her children a better quality of life and achieve everything for a good quality of life.
We realized that many people suffer from being able to seek a dignified and stable life.

The prologue tells us about Camen, a woman with four children who had to leave Guatemala to immigrate to the United States in search of better living conditions for her family, in order to get them out of the poverty in which she once lived.
The United States is one of the countries with the largest number of immigrants, many of these people seek to improve their family's living conditions by facing dangers such as crime.
Enriques, being a journalist, would like to follow this story and that is why he wants to embark on a journey to live each experience as if he were an immigrant.

A smuggler could sneak Carmen's children over the borders,
from Central America into Mexico, and then from Mexico
into the United States.

In 1998, the year after Carmen tells me about her family,
her son Minor sets off alone to the United States to find his
mother. He doesn't tell Carmen he is coming. He hitchhikes
through Guatemala and Mexico, begging for food along the
way.

Each
year, thousands of children going to find their mothers in the
United States travel in a much more dangerous way. The chil-
dren make the journey riding on top of Mexico's freight trains.
They call it El Tren de la Muerte. The Train of Death.
