Question 2 for "Under the Same Moon"

Rosario had to make the difficult decision to immigrate to the U.S.A  alone because she knew the chances of one person making it across was a lot greater than trying to smuggle in an entire family. I believe that this was a very difficult decision for the mother to make. She had no idea what the outcome would be and weather or not she would even make it across in the first place. She risked a lot and had to deal with the guilt of leaving behind her family on a daily basis. Some scenes that show how Rosario is having difficulty coping is when she writes her son's name in the soap while she is cleaning a stove top. Also there are scene's where Rosario's friend wants her to find a man and start a relationship but you can tell that she really does not want anything to do with letting new people into her life. Also the fact that Rosario and Carlitos did not know exactly what was going on in each others lives. Carlitos did not know that his mother was struggling with depression and having trouble at work and Rosario did not know that her mother was dieing and that Carlitos had an Aunt and Uncle who wanted to take him from his Grandma.
