Steven Jones Book Review Professor Minton 26 November 2011 Book Review My book was George W.

The book is the story of Enrique, a Honduran boy whose mother, Lourdes, was abandoned by her children’s father and who made the difficult choice to leave her eight-year-old daughter and five-year old son to come north. Nazario gives us a view inside the most difficult choice a mother can make: whether to abandon her children to the care of relatives in order to be able to provide a better life for him. The powerful economic forces of globalization in the developing world boil down, for Lourdes, to the simple choice of whether she can continue to tell her children to lay on their stomachs, because that way they can fall asleep in spite of their hunger pangs. And yet, Nazario gets us to fully appreciate the human costs of the decision to come North for the family members left behind. While Enrique has shoes and the ability to attend school, which his mother could not have afforded to give him if she had stayed, he feels the constant loneliness for his mother’s love and is shuttled from relative to relative as he begins to act out, drops of school, and turns to glue-sniffing.
The movie centers around a young cub who will grow up and become King of the Pride Land, just like his father. One can see “class” all througout the film in how characters look, sound, and speak. The privelaged almost have this certain way of talking more formal than the rest.While the less fortunate don’t talk with such grace. One of the hienas makes a comment about Scar that he may be like one of them, but he still talks like someone who is privelaged. This line really makes one think.
