Fady Milad fadypop71152b0 — This is one of the books that really sticks out of my mind from my tenth grade English class. This was the year that we were supposed to read "coming of age" stories and this was the only autobiographical account we read. This was also the first time that a high school teacher said we could call him by his first name, Steve. Well ok Mr. Harloff, what ever you say! I just really couldn't get into that one. In fact, when I see teachers that I haven't had for 10 years I still can't call them by their first names. But that is another story for a different day. Hunger of Memory sticks out in my mind because I remember it made me really take note of Affirmative Action, a concept I had barely ever given attention to. The author, a Catholic Latino born to immigrant parents grows up loving to read and eventually the quality of his schoolwork, and the open quotas for minorities, leads him to college. His interaction with his fellow minority students are usually sad, in that they are mainly spent with him tutoring them because most seem to be filling a quota for color instead of scholarly prowess. This book makes a big deal out of reform of k-12 educational systems for minorites. Sadest of all is the fact that Richard Rodriguez's education and assimilation into Academia seem to drive a wedge into his family - a family that both seems to support his education and be fearful of academia at the same time. Now, it has been almost ten years since I read this book and many things could seem different if I read it today. In fact maybe I will!....cue the Reading Rainbow music!
