The tone because in text 1 the tone is positive, its positive because the kids are going to be safe, and in the meantime the parents aren't gonna be with them, but they will be safe and the parents rather have hem safe and leave by themselves so the kids don't go with the government. In text 2 the tone is negative. Its negative because the parents are getting deported, and that's not something you would have to choose from, getting deported is a big thing, so the parents get deported and get separated from their kids. The parents have a choice to take their kids or leave them in the US and some parents decide to leave them for their safety.

    In Luis Alberto Urrea’s novel, “The Devil’s highway,” he uses a passage that describes the migrants’ digression towards death as they travel across the Yuma desert to create an uncomfortable, and sympathetic feeling from the audience.

Through imagery he not only describes to the reader what these people may have gone through while making their passage across the…

Stories can be told verbally, through acting, or through writing. A good writer can weave stories or analogies in his or her paper that draw people in and fascinate them. In fact, analogies are one of the strongest writing techniques.

Even though these ideals are present, they are not as evident in the hero Harry Potter from J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter series written in the 21st century. However, in almost every book, no matter what the culture or time period are, the same basic themes of character traits, power and death recur.…

    Crisis and Surplus In this chapter, I ask what we can learn by looking to migrant caregivers’ experiences of rebuilding daily life and reconstituting community in the aftermath of disaster. Specifically, I take interest in Ruth Wilson Gilmore’s (2007) claim that, “the actual effects of crisis in a particular society are not necessarily paralyzing; rather, they invite remedies that take many forms, and therefore produce varying outcomes that are as likely further to shake up, as to settle, the original political-economic upheaval” (p.56). Thus, in turning to migrant caregivers’ intimate re/productive contributions to disaster recovery (as one such remedy), I believe we can better understand not only how crises are mediated but how they come…
