Many people that came to the United States illegally have been worried about deportation ever since they have stepped foot in this country. I remember my cousin many years ago coming with a student visa from Europe and decided on not going back home. He was always so careful of everything he did to not get into trouble with the law.

The life of an illegal immigrant is not easy and hopefully with this new application, immigrants will receive a tool to help them sleep better knowing that they have some knowledge of what is taking place around

The book I am reading is Enrique’s Journey by Sonia Nazario. I predict that the author will explore the human rights issue of Immigration Laws and the plight of illegal aliens in the United States. I believe that this issue will be important in the story because Enrique the main character in the story is very driven to find his mother who has gone herself illegally to the United States to earn money to provide an education for her children and to better the life of her family. I made this prediction because Lourdes leaves her children in Honduras as she goes to make money in the United States and her son Enrique is left saying “Donde esta mi mami?” “Where is my mom?”

We were asked to write a literacy narrative in English class and at that moment I was tracing through my memories where language or listening had any influence on me. I was stuck. I have a few instances where I could see how language at a specific moment in life influenced me, but I just could not decide what to write about. Then it hit me, it was like a bulb lit up.
