Which of the readings for this lesson stood out most to you? You might choose a reading because you relate to it. You might choose a reading by an author whose experiences especially contrast with your own. You might choose a reading that provided a special understanding of literacy sponsorship—or another idea—for you. You might choose a reading for another reason altogether. In any case, tell us about your reaction to this reading.
The story that stuck out to me was the Dora Lopez story. This story reminds me that hard work will pay off. She proved that through hard work from her and her family that you can over come challenges. She did not have the expensive gadgets or anything like that. She got government-sponsored youth programs and more.( page 80). Reminds me of some of the struggle some many people may face today.
Answer question 2 from page 104 of Writing About Writing (at the end of Cisneros’s narrative): “Cisneros’s father supported her in attending college, but for very different reasons than her own. Explain how her father and college were what Brandt terms ‘literacy sponsors’ (p. 72), and how Cisneros ‘misappropriated’ the college literacy sponsorship that her father intended.” In addition, can you think of any situations when you have “misappropriated” your own sponsorships?
Her father supported her going to college to find a husband. He thought college would be a good place for his little girl to meet her partner. He felt that by her not finding a husband that it was wasted education. I can not think of any time that I have misappropriated my own sponsor's.
Answer question 6 from page 115 of Writing About Writing (at the end of Malcom X’s narrative): “Malcolm X asserts that his motivation for reading—his desire to understand his own experiences—led him to read far more than any college student. Respond to his claim. Has a particular motivation helped you decide what, or how much, to read?”
I think is motivation is good. He wanted to learn more. He came from the streets and did not know much. It show's us now a days that if you want to learn more and be more knowledgeable, then take it upon yourself and go learn it. We have so many more resources then what he had. We have GOOGLE, and it knows a lot. The LOVE for GOD's word is what has helped me to want to read more. I never knew what a concordance was till I started reading the Bible, now its one of my main resources. Also the dictionary, I use it all the time now, even for this class.
Answer question 3 from page 128 of Writing About Writing (at the end of Villanueva’s narrative): “Have you ever tried observing and imitating the writing moves that other writers make, as Villanueva describes doing with his English teachers (‘Professorial Discourse Analysis’)? If so, what was your experience doing so? If not, what would you need to look for in order to do the kind of imitation Villanueva describes?”
I have not though about or tried this. I in order for me to try this I would have to study ho the person writes. I would have to try to see if I can think they way they are thinking. I would have to read something they wrote over and over to see if I can get the ideas down they way they did. I would not want my professor to say that is they worse thing they ever read.
Name one concept from this lesson that you most struggle(d) to understand. What about this concept, term, or idea is troublesome? What do you currently think it means, whether you feel certain or not?
I think this lesson was pretty laid out. I do not have anything that I am struggling with. I can see all aspects. If there is something i am struggling with in this lesson, then I have not realized it yet. I Pray i can keep this understanding through out the rest of the class.
