Review of "Not Half, Not Some"
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper reviewing an article appearing in Phi Delta Kappan. Glasser's (1997) article holds much wisdom for today's teachers faced with changes in approaches to education. The wave of multiculturalism in which little learning took place but students came to know each other better has largely passed, thankfully. Cultural issues do need to be taken into account in any class, but the entire focus of instruction does not need to revolve around those issues. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Richard Rodriguez
[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. Richard Rodriguez did not always aspire to hold English degrees and a doctorate in English Renaissance literature; in fact, until late in his childhood, he vocabulary barely reflected fifty words of English. His remarkable assimilation into the American patchwork sheds light on just how difficult it is for minorities to adapt to an entirely disparate culture – that is, unless, one is strong of mind and determination like Rodriguez. Because of his own socially limited background, the accomplished essayist stands as an icon for those whose own lives reflect his early struggles with cultural identity in America. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
