Representation of education

Considering the Myth of empowerment through education, analyze one of the autobiographical essays, limiting yourself to either ” The Achievement of Desire by Richard Rodriguez” or ” I just wanna Be average” By Mike Rose. First, define the cultural myth of empowerment through education. Be clear in defining what you think empowerment means, Then, create a thesis explaining how this cultural myth is represented in the essay. Does education actually empower students? In what ways? How are these writers empowered (and/or disempowered) by their experiences in the educational system?

 

Create a concise and focused answer based on relevant evidence from the text. Do not merely summarize the essay, but analyze the text to explain how the cultural myth is being addressed
