Gangsters' warnings to migrants not to go to the police are ruthlessly enforced. Julio César Cancino Gálvez, with Grupo Beta Sur

, recalls how a group of about thirty migrants at the Tapachula train station asked him why the authorities weren't clamping down on the gangsters. Cancino told them they needed witnesses. He urged the migrants to step forward and report abuses. One nineteen-year-old Honduran in the crowd spoke up. He described his assailant in detail. Hours later, the Red Cross asked Cancino if he could help an injured migrant. It was the same Honduran teenager. His right ribs were broken. His entire chest and face were badly bruised. He spoke slowly, in a whisper, clasping his chest. Two gangsters had overheard his description and kicked him mercilessly. "Next time, we kill you," the gangsters told him. The teenager, afraid for his life, asked to be deported. —Enrique’s Journey, Sonia Nazario The underlined sentences demonstrate characterization. How does this technique support the author’s purpose? It shows that the refugees were strong and unafraid of the gangsters. It shows how violent the situation was and how scared Enrique was. It shows how hopeful the refugees were about reaching the United States. It shows that Enrique was quiet, shy, and preferred not to interact with others.

<span>When constructing an argument, one thing writers do is concede a point.  This technique demonstrates to readers that the author considered both sides of the argument and that the argument being presented is not entirely one sided.  Thus, what the author is doing here is conceding the point that tablets can be cost prohibitive.  However, when conceding a point, it is best to immediately follow it up with a rebuttal.  In this particular instance, what the author should do is include information on cost and perhaps try to undermine the point being conceded by mentioning the cost of text books, which can, too, be quite pricey and cannot be updated as easily as information on a tablet. </span>

How does a parent’s relationship with his or her daughter while she is a bacha posh compare to after, when she is asked to prese
liq [111]

In Afghanistan, "bacha posh" directly translates to "dressed like a boy" for children who are born female. The families may choose to raise their daughters as bacha posh to ensure safety and a better quality of life.

During their childhood, bacha poshs are allowed movement to run errands, escort sisters, go to school and get an education, and even play sports. The parents give much freedom to bacha poshs. Once she reaches puberty she is expected to switch to a conservative women's lifestyle; to marry and have children. The parents behavior towards their daughter during and after the bacha posh phase is contradictory - the relationship towards their daughter is the complete opposite afterwards.
