Read the excerpt from Enrique's Journey.
During his first attempts north, a chance meeting saved
Enrique from the worst of the gangs. As he set out on his
trip, he noticed another teenager, a gangster named El
Brujo, at the bus station in Honduras waiting to go to the
Mexican border. Enrique doesn't like gangs. But as the two
spent hours traveling through Honduras and Guatemala
together, they became friends. On their first train ride
through Chiapas, El Brujo introduced Enrique to a dozen
other MS members, among them Big Daddy, who is skinny
and short; El Chino (the Chinaman), who has slanted eyes;
and El Payaso (the Clown), who has a big mouth and eyes.
On subsequent trips, when he was deported, he always
stuck with one of these gang members to protect himself
from any attacks.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
