    " Advancing in his studies, the boy notices that his mother and father have not changed as much as he." (341) That is another strain on Rodriguez and his family. He does not feel he can relate with his parents. He feels too different. He goes from loving his parents to admiring his teachers more because he feels he can relate to them on a more personal and higher level. His family can not understand his as well as he wants and that leads to frustration. His frustration then leads to embarrassment. "He permits himself embarrassment at the lack of education. And to evade nostalgia for the life he has lost,he concentrates on the benefits education will bestow on him." (341) Rodriguez was more assured in the classroom and learned that if he followed the rules and studied hard he would become more successful than his parents. His want to become more successful leads him to almost a power hungry state. His family did not understand his want to be better and considered it obsessive. He saw their feelings and would become hurt at their lack of wanting to better their minds which would make him feel even more excluded from his…

    Rodriguez faces a few tensions in his personal experience such as being a "scholarship boy" as oppose to a well rounded student and and his life at home compared to a more friendly home environment. Rodriguez says that "I was a very good student, I was a also a very bad student. I was a scholarship boy, a certain kind of scholarship boy. Always successful, I was always unconfident. Exhilarated by my progress. Sad. I became the prized student - anxious and eager to learn. Too eager, too anxious - an imitative and unoriginal pupil." ( Rodrigues #283 ) Rodriguez describes himself here as imitating his teachers too much and being a perfect student instead of thinking for himself and taking in the knowledge he is given by his teachers and analyzing it and putting it to use. He is unoriginal and and uninteresting compared to a student who can use their knowledge in their own way and gets more involved. The other tension Rodriguez faces his the tension he has with his family, mostly his mother and father. At home his mother and father both support and encourage what he is doing very much but they didn't like the fact that he would always be in his room and the fact that the only thing he was involved with was school. "He permits himself embarrassment at their lack of education." (Rodriguez #286) This quote shows that Rodriguez's amount of knowledge of the english language and other subjects he had compared to his parents and therefore he was somewhat embarrassed by them and it created a tough home environment to live in because he didn't communicate much with his parents. This contrasts the home environment where their is a strong relationship between the family and their is communication.…
