secondary sources of the immigration issue and to read from various points
of view.
“For some journalists, research means sitting at a computer and surfing
Google…For Sonia Nazario…it means leaving home for months at a time to
sit on top of a moving freight train running the length of Mexico,” risking
her life… San Francisco Chronicle

 Only one smuggler in ten, says a nun at the
Parroquia de San José, is trustworthy. (p. 168)
 “Either we are with the poor, or we are not.
God teaches us to most help the poor. Any
other interpretation is unacceptable.” (p. 172)
 Children like Enrique dream of finding their
mothers and living happily ever after. For
weeks, perhaps months, these children and
their mothers cling to romanticized notions of
how they should feel toward each other. Sonia
Nazario (p. 191)

ACTION RESEARCH – MAY THE TRUTH BE
KNOWN
In order to understand the social, political and economic
background of Enrique’s Story, it is important to learn firsthand
from primary and secondary sources of the immigration issue and
to read from various points of view.
“For some journalists, research means sitting at a computer and
surfing Google…For Sonia Nazario…it means leaving home for
months at a time to sit on top of a moving freight train running the
length of Mexico,” risking her life… San Francisco Chronicle

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND
WORDS
Choose a photo from the selection of photographs between 162 and
163. Answer the following photo analysis questions on a sheet of
paper.
1. What is the subject matter? Summarize the content and
background information.
2. What is the photographer’s purpose for taking the photo?
3. What is the mood?
4. What story does it tell?
5. How does it make you feel?
Create a three column chart and answer the following question in
each section.
Pre-photo Inference
Photo Caption
Post-photo Prediction
Column 1: Pre-photo Inference (What may have happened
immediately before this was taken?)
Column 2: Photo Caption (Create a title for the picture and write a
one sentence description that somehow reflects the message of the
photograph.)
Column 3: Post-photo Prediction (What may have happened after
this photo was taken?)
Edit your work and create a final poster including the answers to
your questions, inference, caption, and prediction. Paste a Xerox
copy of your photograph on the poster.
