is exemplified when he admits that the “primary reason for my success in the classroom was that I couldn’t forget that schooling was changing me and separating me from the life I enjoyed before becoming a student” (Rodriguez 17). Afterwards, this concept is explored throughout the rest of his essay as he follows his past actions and comes to think of his parents as simply “not like my teachers” (Rodriguez 21). However, throughout his work he only keeps one perspective that is supported by a…

Both novels provide proof that a novel does not need an overarching plot or continuous characters. Despite appearing as distinct parts or stories, the narrative becomes both clearer and more complex when the parts are joined. The rise and fall of each narrative, or their cyclical style, allows for a more in-depth theme to be more prominantently pronounced.
