Rodriguez post C

I fear this response may be brief, but the importance is none the less. I feel that Rodriguez and Gee's readings have brought to light an important concept to be sought after by aspiring students. Rodriguez has through his writing affected the future and state of his academic discourse. He has done this by relating his own individual experience, or as Bartholomae would say, "finding some compromise between idiosyncrasy, a personal history, and the requirements of convention, the history of a discipline," (511). Rodriguez gives us a prime example of a student whose upbringing has overtly affected his writing later as an academic.
