My American by Colin Powell
1.- What Powell wanted to let people know is that no matter how many barriers he had in life, he would always look up front and he would not let that interfere with achieving his goals and priorities in life. For example:
- "I began by identifying my priorities"
- "If I was to be confined to one end of the playing field, then I was going to be a star on that part of the field"
By this he meant that he was going to be the best at what he does, no matter what. And that's how he tries to achieve his purpose.
2.- I think not only for the black people who are nobody in life because they think that life is full of racism only, but for the ones that give up easily. The ones that have barriers and they don't do an effort to pass it, they remain stagnant and never move on. In my opinion, everybody should read this because it gives you knowledge of how black people used to be treated and how this person in specific responded to that.
3.- He always looked forward in order to achieved his goals. He had a disadvantage which was being black, but that didn't stop him from being part of the Army and succeed in his career.
I think he was a person with a lot of knowledge and the black people should see him as a stereotype.
"Writing Is Not a Mcdonald's Hamburger" by Natalie Goldberg
1.- Goldberg's purpose is to tell people that you should take writing as an adventure. We all start weak when we want to write and we always have this ideas in our head but when it comes to put in a paper we get held back. we start writing all the ideas at the same time but when we go back and read it, it doesn't meant sense at all. This is all OK because writing takes its time and in the way you'll have time to improve it.
"Let go of everything when you write, and try at a simple beginning with simple words to express what you have inside. It won't begin smoothly. Allow yourself to be awkward. You are stripping yourself"
2.- Probably her audience will be the people who have struggles in writing. Perhaps because she was a teacher her audience will be her students too. The audience that might benefit form reading this are the ones that think that are not good writers because they can't write all their ideas in a paper.
3.- Her subject is writing. The writing skills. She used her students as an example. She has a positive attitude, and she wants to motivate people to write.
