hey everyone, these two readings were enjoyable so I might write a lot, sorry! There is nothing like reading a story that motivates a person to stay on the path of learning throughout their life. According to Roses' work, their are many underprivilged students, that may start out their lives ignorant towards the English language,however in the end, those students who practice at learning, continue on successfully in life. Lu explains a similar view point, however she discusses her own life, and how her daughter followed in her footsteps.
As a professor of education at UCLA, Rose visits students from the lower population of society and shows them how to develop into bright young individuals, through a clear meaning of a word, a "certain" word. For example, by looking at parts of a word such as the word "egocentric," one should realize that the beginning part of this word means self. However, many students were so confused by this, they never understood one word having multiple meanings. Rose tried to show them that many things in life have different meanings, if u look hard enough you can find the right answers, because it is your choice to do so.
At the University of Wisconsin, Lu is an English professor, a teacher just like Rose. Lu grew up knowing that education was a huge part of her life, however, the adolescents from Roses' story went to school, just to go to school in the beginning. Both stories expressed an internal struggle in Lu, and Rose's students to not give up or be tempted to give up their dreams for many reasons. Rose's students came from the bottom and elevated to the top, as did Lu, but Lu had everything, had an initial will to improve her education because of her strict familial background when many of Rose's students, stated above, did not at first.Furthermore, both authors insist to encourage young teens to "preserve their discourse in learning,". Hope this was helpful and easy to understand.
