Memoirs of a Giesha an Amazing Challenge.

The book I had been recently reading is Memoirs of a Giesha. I think this book is great. I love how the author wrote the book. I like how this book is a challenge. I learn new difficult words along the way. Another reason i really enjoy this book is because it has another culture I am not familiar with but throughout the book i learn more about it. I noticed there are alot of life lessons in this book. The book I just finished reading was The Missing Girl. The biggest connection between this book is that Chiyo wants to escape the okiya and Autum wants to escape the man's house.

Enrique's Isolation

This picture is related to my book because it represents Enrique from the book "Enrique's Journey". This young boy is around the same age that Enrique was when his mother abandoned him. This boy seems to be looking for someone, he is confused, and bewildered, like Enrique. This boy looks sad and lonely like Enrique because he doesn't has his mother with him. The back ground also has connection with the story. It looks like difficult land to journey. It is a huge amount of land that seperate him and his mother, a border.

Enrique's Journey

The book, "Enriques's Journey" is about a young man traveling to the United States it is very tragic and sad, but so far I do like how it is so vivid and realistic.

Something that I would change about the book is I would make the book more specific about Enrique's journey coming to the United States.

A question that I have about my  book is, Does Enrique ever feel hopeless, or regretful about his journey?

I would recommend this book to my mother because I feel like she would be interested in this kind of realistic book about an migrant coming the United States.
