    He was a father of four, married to an American wife Kathy and owned a successful painting and contracting firm. The story introduces their every day lives and explains Zeitoun’s passion for his work and the welfare of others like his own employees. I instantly became fond of him because not only was he a modest husband and father he was also a kind person that you’d be lucky to have as a neighbor. At first the family was a little concerned about the storm yet as soon as it began looking more serious the mother and four kids did evacuate and flee first to a crowded house of relatives and then west to Pheonix. She begs Zeitoun to come with them.…

    It is universally known that to truly understand someone, you have to walk a mile in their shoes. Investigative journalist Sonia Nazario does exactly that in her Pulitzer Prize winning book, Enrique 's Journey. She immerses herself into the life of Enrique, a desperate Honduran boy in search of his mother, by imitating his journey through the harsh South American terrain on "El Tren de la Muerte [The Train of Death]", in hopes of understanding what brings "48,000 South American children to the United States alone and illegally each year" (299). Nazario evokes feelings of humanity and compassion in her audience by establishing her credibility as an unobtrusive observer, appealing to the reader 's emotions, and citing concrete facts and evidence.…

    Often time, wars are believed and seen as a mean to defend the home nation from physical catastrophe of foreign land and soldiers are praised and honored for their sacrifice. Not often enough do the common people take the time to scrape the surface with sayings like “thank you for your time” to look at the understanding that even though a war “makes men” and unites them, Hynes says that it isolates and cuts them off from other people. We are also controlled into believing that we understand exactly how a soldier feels from what the media broadcast to us, and then we take that false understanding and channels it to a way that we think may help soldiers deal with their traumas or past. The truth that the media provide has been filtered out enough…

    Assess Ishmael’s level of resilience throughout his journey and provide at least 3 examples from the text. The definition of resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties and in my opinion, Ishmael’s level of resilience throughout his journey is remarkable. Although he has had to maintain resilience throughout his entire journey, there have been a few times where his resilience shines through the most. In Chapter 7, the village he is currently in is attacked by the rebels and he is forced into hiding with several others. But this did not deter him from continuing on his run from the war as he continues his journey alone, only days after he went into hiding.…
