Part one of this essay clearly expresses to me how different and set apart this boy felt from his family because he was pursuing an education. “And unlike many middle class children, he goes home and sees in his parents a way of life not only different but starkly opposed to that of the classroom.” Not only did I gather from this essay that he feels different but he also feels a sense of loss, as if he loses part of himself. When I mean he loses part of himself, I mean he is evolving as a person by becoming more educated and sophisticated. I think with that comes a sense of loss because the people whom he loved and raised him and was raised with he has less and less in common with them. He can no longer relate with them on most matters. I think because of that he is a becomes a very lonely person. “Rather when he sees them they often remind him of the person he once was.” Mr. Rodriguez is clearly becoming of the lack of education his parents have and also is embarrassed by it.
As Mr. Rodriguez becomes more and more educated I gathered he becomes a little bit angry by his parents ignorance and therefore becomes more and more distant from them and finds he has less in common with them and the lifestyle he was raised in. Achievement of Desire
In part two of the story is about how Mr. Rodriguez embarked on reading and his apprehensiveness about it. “One day the nun concluded a session by asking me why I was reluctant to read by myself”. “Written words make me feel all alone.”

It will also be a source of pain because as he evolves in his education as in the previous paragraphs I wrote he will feel more and more disconnected from where he came from, his family and
