Critically Reflect on the Book "Lives on The Boundary" by Mike Rose

The main prompt for this paper is:

What does Mike Rose mean by boundary? How has your own education been affected by boundaries? Based on this comparison, what insights or implications can you draw about educational opportunity and lack of opportunity in the US or elsewhere?

As you explore your response to this prompt, you should keep in mind that the prompt is asking you to do three things:
? explain your understanding of the book and in particular the concept of boundary; as you explain your understanding of this concept, you should include direct references to Mike Rose?s story and the stories of his students;
? analyze your own experiences with regard to boundaries in education, comparing and contrasting them with the stories in the book (You may focus on experiences in grade school, at the university, in family settings, at work, etc.).
? critically reflect* on what can be learned from this comparative analysis, especially any insights or implications that you can draw regarding educational opportunity in the US or elsewhere.


* to critically reflect, in this context, means to examine someone else?s claims and to compare and contrast them with your experiences; as a result of this comparison, you might agree or disagree with the author; you might extend what the author says and make it deeper or broader; you might modify what the author said; you might consider the implications of what the author said, especially in terms of issues that he brings up in the last three chapters.
