Family Values

When I first Started reading his narrative I found myself a little annoyed at the sentence fragments. The way Joe talked about his life was so descriptive; it was the first narrative that I did enjoy. The type of language that he used was his native tounge; a theme talked about often in my english class. I would say that this narrative is based on language. It's one of the most powerful parts of the story, it makes it his story.

One thing I found interesting was when he started talking about what he does, when I heard that he worked on a writing class I was a little confused. At that part of the story the way he talked totally changed, he went from "Italian English", to an academic language that made me double read his sentences. It is inredible to know that someone can make an academic kind of change in their life.

Honestly I couldn't find mush to say about what I read. To summarize Joe Amato's Family values I would say that it's another story of somone in a lower class community being the first of their family to get a four degree and make something of themselves, and to be able to pay bills and teach people. I find that there is often a like for art and literature for those who are not often around it or can't access it. I can't be suprised when I read another story of this kind.
