In Deborah Brandt’s article, Sponsors of Literacy, she compares Raymond Branch and Dora Lopez’s experiences with literacy. Brandt argues that race and class impact how much access people have to literacy sponsorship. In my perspective, Brandt’s argument is accurate. The differences among Branch and Lopez are fair reasonings to justify Brandt’s dispute. Branch was a European American who was raised by parents with steady and successful jobs. Since Branch’s father was a professor, he has more…

Since a young age, I have never enjoyed books with a happy go lucky feel or a fairy tale ending. One of my favorite books as a child was Charlotte’s Web, because there wasn’t a predictable resolution where everyone was content. It built a realistic feel as opposed to a story like Frindle, where everything seems to work out well between the characters and everyone is satisfied. Going into middle school, I found myself drawn to mystery novels because of the unknown factor, nothing is expected…

For my action adventure show I picked the television series Castle, which is mainly about solving homicide investigations. For my children’s cartoon I picked Dora the Explorer, a children’s show about the main character going on an adventure with her friends. Furthermore, the show Castle usually starts out with a violent scene where the criminal kills their victim. Sometimes this is the only violent scene in…

Anne Frank, a Jewish teenager who was forced to go into hiding during the Holocaust, once said, “If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.” (goodreads.com).
