Explanation:

The book "Enrique's Journey" by Sonia Nazario tells the true story of a young boy named Enrique on his quest to find his mother who has gone to America in search of work. The story delves into the dangerous and menacing obstacles that migrants like Enrique had to endure and go through to get to the safer land in America. This story is also like an insight into the borderlands that is between America and the South American nations, with migrants coming in masses in the hope of a better and peaceful future.

As seen in the excerpt from the book, the author provides a scene where gangsters threaten and even assault anyone who went as far as to help the authorities identify them. This very act of torturing or using violent means to keep people quiet shows how dangerous life is for the migrants while trying to get to the other side. The characterization in this passage shows the violent scene that migrants have to endure and the emotional fear that people like Enrique were put in.
