Enriques continuos journey

As Enrique continues his journey to the United states, he takes great caution when he see's others climb aboard the train, he hides and makes sure he's not about to get beaten and robbed and thrown off of the train to his death. When he was thrown off before, he nearly reached death but was luckily saved by the mayor of the town he ended up in when he was rescued from the tracks after being thrown off of the train. When the train passes villages, the villagers often throw food to the migrants on the train. Enrique almost gets ahold of a role of crackers, but they bounce off of his hand and are sent off of the fast moving train. He later grabs tortillas, and other foods thrown from the villagers. Enrique is a very generous boy, so he shares his tortilla with other migrants that wernt as lucky when food was being thrown up on to the train. When Enrique ditches the train to go find food, he knows he must not be long for if he misses the next train, he wont have another opportunity to reach the United States. He begs for food in residential areas, and is lucky to receive a glass of water or a taco once in a while. Once he is as satisfied as he can get, he cautiously waits for the next train, because this being his 9th attempt, he would do anything to not be deported back to Central America. Enrique must always be careful on his journey to find his mother, because if he continues to be deported, he may spend his entire life attempting to reach his mother, and may find that he will never succeed.

  1. Max, re-read your claim. See how it is summarizing the plot? You need to think about the plot and then come up with a claim that has something to prove, some opinion that you need to support in your paragraph.
