Paragraphs 8-11 say, “The following morning, he slowly packed his belongings into a metal trunk: clothes, books, pens, and, of course, something for which he would never be too old - his sheep.

His parents were not interested in his education and the language barrier was only one of the many obstacles that stood between him and his parents. Once a student, Rodriguez began to live two different lives in two very different worlds. This difference is shown mainly through the different mentalities, those of his teachers and his parents. Once he stepped into that classroom, Rodriguez’s role models became his teachers. He came to idolize them. He spent more time with them than he spent with his parents. He spoke to his classmates more than he spoke to his family. Rodriguez successfully accomplishes the rhetorical tasks through the effective use of appealing to the author’s emotion, and other rhetorical tools by showing the changes that were made by Rodriguez because he devoted himself in school.
