I think

While I was reading Joe Amato’s work on “Family Values Literacy, Technology, and Uncle Sam” I found it a bit annoying to read at first because he just kept listing alot of facts, which made me lose interest in it at first. As I kept reading it started to catch my attention. I noticed how he spoke about so many hardships that he went through. He lists so many of the things his family did and how they survived in the world. He spoke about how he studied engineering being the first to graduate from a four year college.

Alot of people now days struggle with their lives. I know I came to America with my family thinking life would be much better once we got here. Wasn't I mistaken life here is just as hard sure you get a better education but life is still hard. Even through struggles we can still prevail like Joe Amato did by working hard in day to day life and achivieng a status for ones self

  2. What were some of the hardships that you connected to? Do you feel connected to his narrative, how are we all connected culturally or through literacy?
