Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars." By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence," says

José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees. The underlined words and phrases have strong negative connotations. How do they support the author's purpose?

Answer:

(a) draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children

Explanation:

From the excerpt of the book <em>Children of the Drug Wars</em>, the author Damon Barret discusses the impact the war on drugs and drugs, in general, had on the children.

From the underlined words <u>By sending these children away, you are handing them a death sentence</u> it shows that the United States government is not doing enough to help the children by sending them away and it would undermine the credibility as a humane country.

Answer:

It indicates that the gangsters are looking for vulnerable people.

It supports the idea that the gangsters are involved in criminal activities.

Explanation:

In Sonia Nazario's "Enrique's Journey", the protagonist Enrique left home on a quest to find his real mother who had left him to work in America. Feeling a sense of abandonment from his mother Lourdes, leaving him in Honduras, and his beloved uncle's death compelled him to try to reunite with his mother no matter what, thus his journey.

The given passage is from the chapter "Staying Awake" where Enrique along with others were atop the moving train trying to get to America. The excerpt reveals how those on the roof of the trains were targeted by the gangsters operating around the area. The vulnerable people end up being the target of these gangsters who are involved in illegal criminal activities, with the "<em>forgiving</em>" nature of the police in Chiapas. The author's use of the word "prowl" supports the dangerous manner in which these gangsters are involved, leading further to the suffering of others.
