The book “Tell Me How it Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions” by Valeria Luiselli is indeed a book full of serous issues taking place in the current world we all live in. One will never be aware of the atrocities  that immigrant children have to go through until one gets more involve on the topic. That’s why I found the book so touching because it makes you realize the seriousness of the current situation and allows one to have a more critical view of it.
Personally, I found the stories of the children quite devastating, but what was even more shocking was the fact that after all these children have been through and get to the U.S border, their pain don’t stop there. They encounter themselves with discrimination and maltreatment from U.S officers. They are placed into the “ice box” as of they were a diseased that must be contained. Additionally, the U.S keeps implementing harsher laws by making it more difficult to get a granted legal status for these children. These kids risk their lives to get to the U.S but they might be deported and all their dangerous trip was for nothing. Even if some of these children make through the court, they will still have to face many challenges. Including when they later on have to acculturate and found themselves vulnerable against racism, violence, bullying, among others. Their whole journey is based on violence and seems to never stop until they find a certain “stability” in their new “home” but the traumas will keep being around these kids.
