Breaking Through

I thought the book breaking through by Francisco Jimenez was kind of interesting because of the true events in the book and how immigration can be at times. Especially how immigration happens all the time and how we all witness and see immigrating. It was interesting to see what immigrating families go through because we normally see immigrants coming and going but not all the hard obstacles they have to go through to be free and filled with opportunities, we just often hear about immigration.

It also made it interesting on how a kid had to deal living like an adult and how tough that could have been especially not living wit your family. From the family all being together at once to another moment being by yourself just your older brother and you. The book was also interesting because i would just keep imagining on how I would've been able to manage living on my own, it probably would have been hard. I would wonder if i would miss my mom and dad and my family and just all the privliages i have at home and a good food and being able to afford nice things once and a while.

It was also very good that the entire family does make it over and come together as one again. Especially on them being seperated for so long just missing one another and hoping to get together soon. You could also see all the love that the held for one another when they seen each other again and knew that they were one again.
