1. In An Anthology for Reading Apprenticeship, Greg Sarris writes, “I was never a natural reader, if there is such a thing. As a kid, I didn’t go to the libraries. I didn’t read late into the night, hiding under the covers with a flashlight devouring adventure stories, comics, or Boy Scout manuals…I can’t think of anything I read until my freshmen year in high school when I was forced to read The Old Man and the Sea in my remedial English class. I felt sorry for the fish” (p. 47). 2. In the same volume, Jimmy Santiago Baca writes, “Through language I was free. I could respond, escape, indulge; embrace or reject earth or the cosmos. I was launched on an endless journey without boundaries or rules, in which I could salvage the floating fragments of my past, or be born anew in the spontaneous ignition of understanding some heretofore concealed aspect of myself” (p. 53).

SILENT WRITING TIME: Create your claim. Look over all of the evidence that you have collected and create a statement that represents what it means to be American based on BOTH texts.
