Immigration Policies Impacting Children and Enrique's Journey
In the first excerpt, the repetition of the word 'children' serves the author's purpose by reminding the readers of the impact of failed immigration policies on young, innocent lives. Every mention of 'children' strikes a chord in the reader's heart, and they become more sympathetic to the situation.
In the second excerpt, the author uses the technique of 'setting' to support his/her purpose. By describing the environment where Enrique greets the morning, the author conveys a sense of accomplishment. The scene gives a sense of peace and tranquility, suggesting Enrique's achievement in surviving another challenging night.
These literary techniques help the author to effectively communicate the struggles and challenges faced by children impacted by immigration policies and Enrique on his journey.
