Purpose = The Main purpose is talking about the American Educational system and how its failed students considered to be "America's poor". The author also gives ways of how it can be handled. He uses not only the story of his own life but of others as well to enforce his point and that of the story. I think his purpose is not only to enform about the US educational system but to also inspire. And show that you can grow up poor and what people consider illiterate but you can also grow from that and work hard towards an education. Much like Laura in the first chapter who went from being poor in Tijuana to being a student at UCLA.
Process = I think that the author did a study on his life as well as the lives of others, that grew up in situations like him.
Methods/Sources = I think the biggest method he used was interviewing in order to get the information from the other people he used as examples in the book. And he also reflected on his past and what he went through when he was younger and his life today.
