Lu and Rose...much better

These two articles were intellectually stimulating as well as comprehendable. Lu describes her troubles from growing up in two conflicting worlds and being a student, where she must use a diferent language from what she uses at home. For anyone this would be a challenge hard to overcome. She recalls her school life and home life as being full of frustration and confusion. As Lu went through school she was learning two meanings for words such as the word "class". She was excluded from groups of friends in school because of her background, and as we all know it is hard to be different when everyone else is the same. Lu overcame the differences between her family and society and became a college professor and she teaches her students to struggle, for it was her struggle that lead to her success.
Rose, on the other hand, describes the struggles of adults who are illiterate in society from a teachers point of view. People who are born in underclass families or grew up in bad neighborhood tend to get "lost in schools" causing these people to be stuck in unskilled and semiskilled jobs. He teaches them in a way that they can understand; therefore, they can make better lives for themselves.
