The Prompt: (How) Does Education Change You? Paper instructions: While Richard Rodriguez believes bilingual education is a bad idea, he is a staunch supporter of education in general. In fact, he argues in the essay “Aria” from Hunger of Memory (1982) that his public success due to his education was worth great personal cost. Does education (re)shape an individual in terms of social class, values, goals, etc and if so, how? If not, what other factors are more important than education in defining an individual?
