To start I thought the book was very interesting as starting from the title. The land of the open graves brings a sense of thought into one’s mind as you would think about how a grave can be open. one quote bet stuck out to me “the violence and the death that border crosses face daily as they attempt to enter the United States without authorization by walking across the vast Sonoran Desert of Arizona.” (page 3). To start this book off book that immense quote of death brings a sense of somber to the book because of the way people are treated while just trying to get into America. As many people only think of America as the land of the free, we fail to realize how many people try to come illegally throughout the days or months that are met with violence at the border. The authorize individual way which you can visualize every event that is happening as he writes. I think this is very intriguing because most of the time we only can get caught up in just reading a document or a book but by having visual storytelling it is a way to visualize what is happening in the book.
