This semester you read several memoirs, including pieces by Ernesto Galarza and Russell Baker. Return to “Barrio Boy” and “No Gumption” now. How are these two memoirs similar? How are they different? In what ways are the authors’ choices and depictions related to the subject matter of their stories?

Wow.
Trying to cheat on your English Part Two Finals are you?
That's definitely called "Cheating"
-HA student
K12-er, huh? Sorry, but that would be called cheating, and surprisingly, cheating is against the rules. Shocker, isn't it?
Good luck in life, person.
Why don't you do the work yourself. It helps by reading the memoirs.
Really? Are you serious? Im giving you Zeros on all your finals
You are sooooo busted
Obviously that's not a real k12 teachers bc how are they supposed to give the person who posted the question zeros on their exams if it only says it was posted by, "Someone!"
Think guys.
you are obviously looking for the answers too you are just mad people wont cheat 4 u cause guess what I've just finished that essay and got all 100 points too good luck Mr or Ms YourAllStupid cause the way i see it you r the only stupid 1 here besides the other cheaters who i bet has Mrs bolone as their teacher...
Seriously? Y'all are all immature arguing over the internet, to the people saying cheating is wrong: how the hell did you find this site in the first place? (this PAGE in particular!) to the people admitting to cheating, just ignore them! Uhm hell-oo??
wow and i just took that it was sooo easy why do you really need to cheat?
@someone
This was an overall failiure ^^
Well first of all I would just like to say that if you read the books you will have good answers and receive a good grade secondly to all the comments being posted.. Respect each other. This child needs help with his/her problem and will receive the help if at first they do some of the work. For all of you who are saying well how did you find this anyway They could have been looking up somehting else and I particulally was. So please be respectful. Thankyou
Hey I go to K12 to I needed help on this question to so relax Its simple just go back and read the material and to everyone bieng rude have some respect and CLASS!!!!!!!!!
It's so funny that the person who asked the initial question, obviously didn't read the EXTREMELY short Memoirs. If you have to ask for help with the Day 90 LC Semester Test: Part 2, well then I hope you know how to work a cash register for McDonalds, cause you aren't going anywhere in life.
WOW! You people really think you're soo smart! Just because someone is struggling with an ela essay DOES NOT mean they will be working in McDonalds!!! Lets hope you don't end up there @K-12 Student!!! That would really be a shame! I was struggling with essay too even though i read the memoirs! so you people should think before posting an "answer" if you could even call it that!!
I came this site to find some similarities between Barrio Boy and No Gumption and all find is people arguing really! There are some people here actually need help!!! So if your just going to argue do it a social media site or better don't argue at all!!
I need help to but today is the only day so hurry and help some the people that need it and im shocked this question has ben going on for years
I think it is sad that someone is here asking for help and you guys are being jerks
yall are all freaaking out like yall have never cheated wow id like to know how yall all found this page bam!! bam chicken and ham!!!
everyone who is fighting over someone asking for help is stupid everyone needs help once in awhile so everyone who thinks its wrong for someone to ask for help should shut the hell up its not like there asking u to do all there work for them
“Barrio Boy” and “No Gumption” are both written in first person. They both share conflicts. They are similar because they both lived in close time periods in 20th century, and were very poor. They went through a lot of struggle but in the end they achieved a lot.
Both stories share similar conflicts. These are both memoir stories written in first person, and they both talk about being young children.
The difference between the two stories is that “No Gumption” is about a boy who delivers newspapers to help support his family and to learn how to have a job. His mother wants him to have gumption so he won't end up the way his father was. In “Barrio Boy”, it is about an immigrant who goes to school and learns English. It would probably be difficult for him to find a job. He has much ‘Gumption’ and does not need his mother to push him to learn.
