Answers with Explanations:

1. How are Lourdes and Enrique's departures from Honduras similar? How are they different?

Lourdes and Enrique's departures from Honduras are similar in a way that they are both searching for something. Lourdes was looking for a better job, so she can give her children a better life while Enrique was looking for his mother, the only person he thinks can understand him

The only difference in their departures is that Lourdes legally migrated to the U. S. A. for work while Enrique went there illegally. It was a dangerous endeavor for Enrique, but he was able to manage although he needed to weather many threats.

2. What is your opinion on learning from a parent's life experiences? Do you think that we learn from our parents or that we, as children, make the same mistakes?

I believe that we, as children, learn from a parent's life experiences. This gives us the chance to change and not commit the same mistakes. Although it's true that parents are the first teachers of children at home, observing their situation (especially if it's bad or negative) gives children a warning sign of not repeating the same mistakes.
