Even though Sonia uses different genres of writing, she is able to make
the same impact with the two of them. The similarities are that she
uses concrete examples, she talks about the same topic, with both
texts she is able to spread awareness about the situation that kids from
Central America have to face on a daily basis in order to have access
to a safer and better future in the United States, through both texts
Nazario allows the reader to comprehend this situation and form an
opinion on based on actual facts and experiences, and in both
narratives, she appeals to the reader's senses by providing a lot of
details, examples, and figurative language. The difference between the
works are that the biography is written in third person, and she
provides vivid details about the setting of the journey. Unlike the
editorial where she writes in first person, provides personal thoughts
and opinions, she uses persuasive language to convince the readers
about the situation, and she is personally calling for action from the
government.
In conclusion, with the two texts Nazario makes the point that we
should help these immigrants since they are just people, in most cases
children, seeking for a better life, escaping from the violence they face
at their home countries. She uses different genres to talk about the
same topic, in order to generate consciousness about this situation that
is affecting thousands of people from Central America. Nazario's
editorial uses language that encourages readers to take action, and
with the biography she is able to transmit what the children must go
through, in this case for Enrique to reunite with his mother.
