Min-Zhan Lu & Mike Rose
What a difference...These two essays were much easier to understand. When both authors were discussing their issues of literacy, I felt like I was right there with them. For the most part they were very straight forward and said what they had to say. I believe that Lu truely believes in what she was saying and feeling because it was said that she was brought up in two conflicting worlds. She knows right off hand whats she has to do and does it. I felt that Rose didn't support that so much. It was like an opposite in a way. I feel that both essays made good points that were easy to follow...

OK...I get the sense that you "liked" the essays, but I am also interested in how you work with them. That is, how can you show your readers particular aspects of Lu and Rose's texts? For example, when you say, "I believe that Lu truely believes in what she was saying and feeling," what SPECIFICALLY leads you to believe her? That is, what about HOW she writes leads you to see her narrative as credible?
