In the two essays, "I just wanna be average" by Mike Rose and "Learning to Read" by Malcolm X, both show personal experiences of how they educated themselves. Both of them are true believers that education is not just about getting a degree. It is rather the curiosity and motivation to learn more . The freedom that given a person in what these both authors strived for. Both MacFarland and Bimbi inspired the two author’s to actually want to read, to learn.
The close up panning camera shots of important phrases and lessons from these books show the stages of his learning and self-discovery. Whenever Chris is learning or discovering something about himself or communicating important messages to the audience, there is no or little background music, putting all the emphasis on the emotion Chris is feeling and the message being conveyed. The flashbacks of Chris’ collage and schooling life shows he has tremendous knowledge that is treasured by society but he discards it as he is searching for knowledge of a different kind. He is in search of knowledge from nature, from rural people’s views and stories and how to live amongst the wild.

Too eager, too anxious – an imitative and unoriginal pupil.” At the time Rodriguez was simply just absorbing the narrated information that he obtained from his teachers and books. Even though he was able to narrate the information he receive, he did not truly know or understand the knowledge he
Bigelow, takes Zinn’s idea of how important it is for students to know and learn about unsung heroes, and turns it into a creative writing assignment. He doesn’t simply talk to his class about the unrecognized people throughout history, but instead invites them to “become those individuals at the end of their lives” allowing for a much more in-depth awareness. After reading both articles, I believe that it is important for children to have an extended list
Jim’s self-concept is, “I just want to go to school and do the best I can and be normal.” Such as hang out, party a little from time to time, basically living his own life not the life of his father’s. Well I totally can relate to Jims father because, we as parents work as extremely hard for our children because we only want what’s best for them, is it right No, most defiantly not it depressed Jim because he feels like he is doing the best he can do, and his father just don’t understand. That it isn’t as easy for him as it was when he was in school. Jim’s father self-concept of Jim is more positive because he sees in Jim what Jim isn’t able to see, he is motivating him to do better than what he is doing. Sections such as motives, Jim’s father motives were to get good grade and be accomplished.
In his essay, The "Banking" Concept of Education, Paulo Freire basically states that education is simply just a teacher who lectures all class period, filling the student's memory with information, and he or she merely accepts that the information is correct. Students are not to challenge the teacher; hypothetically, they are to follow the teacher blindly. Freire informs us of two completely different concepts of education. Throughout the essay, Freire questions the "banking" concept, but still provide equal and fair support for the concept. However, in the essay, he nearly proposes that the concept of "problem-posing" is the solution to satisfy both teacher and student.
Why High Schools Graduates are Unable to Read There are several reasons why some high school graduates are unable to read. One reason is the students themselves do not have support from family members to realize how important reading and writing can help them thrive in life. The students also play sports too much to focus on any type of education. They don’t make time to for school work and so they struggle when it is time to take tests of learn to read.

Having a career with a well-paying job is something we all eagerly want in life. Most of us have the opportunity to go to school and achieve a career but in Malcolm’s situation was different. He didn’t have that opportunity to receive an education and attend college. He had to do it the hard way and learn everything himself using only books. Books were his materials to be become successful and well educated because of the situation he was in while in prison.
So I think that some students don’t do their homework because they don’t assist at class or they don’t have enough time. First off all, when students don’t assist a class, they won’t do his homework. I said that because if the student was absent, he doesn’t know that the professor gives homework for all the class. Sometimes, students don’t have any number from their classmates and don’t have any person for ask about the missed class. For example the student was sick, and then he going at the next class and recently when he comes in class, he knows about the homework.
