First college paper ~!
For my first paper, I'm going to compare and contrast Min-Zhan Lu, "From Silence to Words: Writing as Struggle" and Mike Rose, "Crossing Boundaries". Both pieces dealt with each authors struggle with language. They both encounters and over came personal barriers but each in their own circumstances. In this paper I will also respond to the issue of how society uses different types of language to distinguish class type, and political views with in the home life.

One thing to think about is that Rose is not necessarily dealing with his own struggles with language...he is recounting the struggles of others. You also do not HAVE to write this paper as a compare and contrast paper. Think about some of the issues each author raises about literacy. Can you see any issues that may be important for us to consider when we are discussing literacy?
