In her biography Enrique’s Journey , Sonia Nazario tells the story of child migrants through narrative techniques such as vivid sensory description, third-person point of view, and detailed characterization, drawing readers into Enrique’s emotional journey and building empathy for individual immigrants and their families. In contrast, in her editorial and other journalistic articles on immigration, she presents the same core ideas about the dangers of migration and the need for reform through a more analytical approach, using facts, statistics, expert opinions, and interviews to argue logically for policy change and to give broader social context to the personal stories. While both genres highlight similar themes—hardship, family separation, and the search for a better life—the biography relies on emotional storytelling and scene-by-scene narrative to humanize one boy’s experience, whereas the editorial form uses objective language and evidence-based reasoning to persuade readers and policymakers to take action on immigration issues.
