Question

Which inference can be made about the author's experiences in "Barrio Boy?" The author thinks his teachers and his classmates are barriers to his learning English and to his integration into American life. The author finds his classmates disrespectful of his Mexican heritage, which causes him to feel alienated from them and his instructors. The author sees his time at Lincoln School positively and thinks other students there did, too. The author believes Lincoln School is a domineering place where the educators are intent on forcing him to renounce his heritage and adopt the American way of life.

Answer 1

Answer:

In Barrio Boy, the author expressed his feelings about his childhood in the below excerpt:

"During the next few weeks Miss Ryan overcame my fears of tall, energetic teachers as she bent over my desk to help me with a word in the pre-primer. Step by step, she loosened me and my classmates from the safe anchorage of the desks for recitations at the black board and consultations at her desk."

This reveals that during his childhood days, he had fears as a first grader which could have hindered him from learning English Language, being bold and from blending with other children from other nationalities.
