I really enjoyed this read and noticed a lot of different things that i had not seen in the last few articles. Rodriguez really opens up to his struggles and what can happen when things just aren't going the right way. He shows the difficulties that must be faced when your common language is different and everyone around you is speaking a different one. I noticed the main point of view to the story were concerned with struggles and how much easier life is in an environment like that when you are bilingual because if Rodriguez would have been bilingual its would have helped solve some of his problems. The article was mostly based on life at home but it did recognize points on how not being very fluent in the main language at school can be to a strong disadvantage fore you. It makes you less confident to do things such as speak in class. The cultures of power is noticed in this read as well because the main language in the public where Rodriguez was, was English and he wasn't very good at and could barely speak it. I felt that this article did get a bit frustrating at times because you just wanted him to be bilingual because you felt bad.
