    Rhetorical Analysis Of Superman And Me

    He begins to use the third person while explaining how he could read at a very young age which was not praised as though a child would be in most other societies. Indian children who succeeded in school were “simply an oddity” and children in other societies “might have been called a prodigy” (13). This comparison of children from both cultures provides the audience with a clearer idea of what it was like growing up on a reservation with not many things expected of you. This message is also improved by the use of third person by Alexie. By using his own life as an example, “ [a] little Indian boy teaches himself to read at an early age and advances quickly” (13) allows the audience to better understand the struggle he went through. if Alexie would have used somebody else's story it would not have been as strong of a…

    Literacy Narrative Analysis

    In the section “Writing a Literacy Narrative” the four writers, Emily Vallowe, Marjorie Agosín, Shannon Nichols, and Sofia Gomez, all use a number of aspects in order to write a decent literacy narrative. The chapter begins by introducing four good examples of literacy narratives from each of the writers. However, the chapter’s main focus is not about the four examples. In the end of the chapter, a detailed list of key features regarding a literacy narrative is mentioned including the following: a well-told story, vivid detail, and some indication of the narrative’s significance. The thesis is that all of the key features will entail a well written literacy narrative if done properly. The author supports the claim by explaining that a well-told…

    Who's Irish

    The point of view focuses on the grandmother. The story begins by talking about her background. It is arranged in chronological order. First, the narrator¡¦s granddaughter is introduced and then her family background. The narrator describes herself as ¡§fierce¡¨. Everyone is afraid of her. Her daughter is somewhat like her mom at least she is also ¡§fierce¡¨ because she is a bank vice president, but her granddaughter is wild, not like her daughter or herself. In the grandmother¡¦s opinion, if her granddaughter Sophie does not act like other Chinese girls, she is wild. In other words, the narrator seems to think people coming from a different culture are weird. After that, the narrator talked about her son-in-law. She thought she did not understand him because he could neither find a job nor look after Sophie. Grandmother said,¡¨Plain boiled food, plain boiled thinking. Even his name is plain boiled: John¡¨ (206). At this point, she somewhat despised her son-in-law, John. He is a white person who can speak English. There is no way he can not find a job. Besides, the grandmother always felt the culture gap. ¡§In China, we talk about whether we have difficulty or no difficulty. We talk about whether life is bitter or not bitter. In America, all day long, people talk about creative¡¨ (208). She did not understand why the ex-babysitter let Sophie get naked and run around. Creativity did not mean anything to her. There was no such a word in Chinese. In addition, she told her daughter ¡§We do…
