The two texts that I choose for my paper are Mike Rose's Crossing Boundaries and June Jordan's Nobody Mean More to Me Then You and the Future Life of Willie Jordan. I wrote about how Jordan and Rose were both professors. In Rose’s piece “Crossing Boundaries” Rose was teaching adults who came back to school because for many different reasons they were unable to get schooling as children. June Jordan was teaching students, who had difficult situations to deal with, but was also going to school at the same time. Mike Rose in his article was talking about the effects of lower class citizens with poor or no education. Yes these people know how to do every day stuff but they feel it’s important for them to become educated even if they are older, they feel they need it for the rest of there life that they have ahead of them. June Jordan's text has to do with education and people facing problems now, and using there education to deal with the problems they’re facing. In Jordan's text they are writting a letter after Willie Jordan's brother was killed. They are writing the letter in the language, Black English which they were taught in school. My arguments are significant because both of these teachers were teaching students that were dealing with some sort of problem. Some of the problems the students faced were not as severe as other but they all impacted there lives and these teachers had to help the students get around them and also learn. These teachers did not avoid the problems they worked through them with the students while using what they had been teaching in the class room.
