The Circuit |
"Yes, they caught us," I repeated. I had never seen my brother so sad. Angry, I added in a whisper, "But it took them ten years."" -Francisco, pg 4
This relates to one of the questions because it was how Americans treated the characters; they got caught of being in America and they just took them away and sent them to wherever. I think that it was sad that someone turned them in after a while and I would feel betrayed.
I think that it was surprising how the family got caught and it made me wonder how I would feel if I got caught being a illegal immigrant, on a random day. I think that it was weird that they got caught after ten years.. I wondered if anyone at least suspected they were immigrants. I would've been adapted to the lifestyle for within ten years and it would suck if I would have to go back to the home country and come back and face how it used to be.
Q: What could have been a reason that someone would want to turn in Francisco and his family?
"During the night we dug a hole underneath the wire wall and wiggled like snakes under it to the other side." pg 1
This relates to the question of how they came to America; they had to sneak in and be careful after a long, 2-day journey. It must have been weird to settle to a new place and had to sneak in. I tried to picture how they would've came through a hole and had to dig for in order to get here.
I thought that part of the journey reminded me of what people do now a days to get here to America. I wondered how they didn't get caught. I thought that it was weird that it was what they had to do, but in a way they had to do it because they wanted to escape poverty and have a better life. I found it surprising that this is what people do to escape from their old life to a new one.
Why couldn't the family just come to America legally? |

I don't know what was their reason was but I know I wouldn't do that unless some one bribed me, maybe be these people just didn't like them or they had a problem with immigrants, what if they lost their job to the immigrant because their asking for less money for the same job...ect. thats what I think. -Ju4N
