Questions to Consider & Essay Explorations

[This is a pretty personal (maybe even invasive) question]Consider this passage on page 60 about Rodriguez's parents, "As their children got older and would come home to challenge ideas both of them held, they argued before submitting to the force of logic… These discussions ended abruptly, though my mother remembered them on other occasions when she complained that our 'big ideas' were going to our heads." Do you feel as though your access to education has challenged your parents' ideals or beliefs? If so, do you think they feel inferior, like Rodriguez's parents?

What would be your response to Rodriguez's claim (p. 72) "-that education requires radical self-reformation."? Would you agree or disagree, and why?

Stil not quite sure what to include in my essay. Hunger of Memory has really got me thinking about language and my early experiences involving language and culture, so i'm leaning towards that.
