Literacy Narrative

I believe pages 170 and 175 are examples of a literacy narrative. Page 170 portrays Sonia's struggle with the English language at Princeton. Professor Weiss critiqued Sonia's writing as weak because her sentences were often fragments, her tenses and grammar were normally incorrect. To her it all felt and looked correct and you know Sonia is a very smart girl but she didn't discover her mistake until a year after. Sonia realized what she was doing wrong when she took contemporary Latin American history, only then did she noticed her English was riddled with Spanish constructions and usage. That meant she would always speak the other away around. I took basic Spanish in high school so I understand we speak English opposite to Spanish, as she said she would use "authority of dictatorship" instead of "dictatorial authority." I am shocked that throughout her school years no teacher as never acknowledged her mistake. To fix her problem Sonia bought some grammar handbooks and vocabulary booklets Sonia devoted her lunch hour during her summer job doing grammar exercises and learning ten new words, which she would later practice using on Junior.
I loved that she finally understood that some of her knowledge gaps wasn't based on her aptitude but cultural background as it was for her understanding how to write English.
I also believe that page 175 was also a literacy narrative, on this page it shows Sonia's mom panicking and struggling with writing her English paper. She suggested that Sonia wrote her paper cause she felt like quitting. Sonia decided to help her instead and she did. Sonia also encouraged her mother on her final exams and they both made a bet. Sonia and her mother went through similar circumstances with learning the proper way of writing English. She did not do her mother's writing as Celina suggested because she wanted her mother to learn  and understand the same way she did and she believed in her mother as well.
What if my father hadn't die? Sonia asked later on in the chapter. Well if he was still alive Celina would definitely not have went back to school, for Sonia most definitely maybe not Princeton, she was always smart and determine though. If her dad was still alive maybe she would have went further away for school.
