In both the stories there are many similarities and differences between them. Education is explained in Rose as a struggle while in Lu's it is important and according to class. Each story talks about education on a cultural level. It depends on the area your from, if your rich, middle class, or poor. Another similarity is how they perceive the poor as different then middle or upper class. In Lu’s essay she is given the best education because of her family background. Lu is smarter than what her teachers think and hiding her knowledge is what she has to do because of her culture and what they believe. The stories explain that having an education is very important not just for a better job and money, but for yourself. In Rose the story is focused on the poor and how they "lack a logical language." In Lu's story she focuses on languages of her home and of school and how that was a struggle for her.

I feel that sometimes you have to use different languages from home and school. I class I am a completely different person because I am focused on education. But when I get to my room, my attitude changes.
