Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez by Richard Rodriguez

3.0

I really enjoyed the way Richard Rodriguez tells us his story. His struggle with language and his road to become a man and an american man. Sometimes I found it hard to agree with him. I've never been dealing with what he had to went through, that must be the reason. But he was honest and described the way he changed as he felt and saw it. Having to learn english and to put spanish aside, feeling like growing up, speaking english, becoming a american man changed his relation with spanish and so with his family. Seperating private life with public life because spanish was a private language and english the public one. Feeling the loss of his former identity. You may not agree but you end up asking yourselves some questions.
