Answer:
In his article, "My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant", the author just had expressed his experience as an an Undocumented Immigrant where he doesn't intentionally added a discouraging tone.
Explanation:
Throughout his article, the author expressed only his experience of living as an undocumented or let's say an immigrant with fake documents. The tone was not discouraging, his entire life was disappointed and he was running away from something. From trying to applying his driver's license till getting avoided in his scholarship, he share his bitter experience and the underlying politics behind it. Hence the author does not convey any discouraging tone, but his whole life was a disappointment.
