Response to Lu and Rose's pieces.

Both pieces are of a struggle, Lu's a more personal one and Rose's is of a struggle that society is dealing with. When dealing with Literacy I find Lu's article is torn between her own govt's conflicts, she is well advanced for her age and it gives her problems, that is looked downed upon by everything around her. Rose's dealings with literacy are that people are willing to cast aside the illiterate rather than give help. I liked Lu's more because it was easier to read for me.

What's that struggle look like? I am curious about the particulars. One of the things that emerges from these articles is the complexity of how literacy and identity interact. We can also see how the historical, cultural, economic, and political contexts influence feelings of shame and support, success and failure, at the individual level.
