Pg. 99 Question 5.
When Brandt argues that race and class impacts on getting literacy sponsorships. It wasn’t fair how whites could get all the sponsors they wanted while the other races had to work harder to get the sponsors they needed. Branch and Lopez have little to no access to the tools they needed to succeed. Brandt argues that race and class have a big part on how people could get their sponsorships and I for one agree with this statement. When we look back on history it is very clear that race and class has always been a big deal for anyone trying to work or even live there daily life’s. So it was hard for them to get the tools and sponsors they needed because of the fact they were a different race and a different class.
Pg. 100 Question 1.
I would say my sponsers would be..
- Parents
- Apple Products
- Jeeps and Infinities(cars)
- Friends
- Grandparents
- Teachers
- young life
All the sponsors will only grow closer with me as i get older. My family will always be by my side and I’m very thankful for that. The other sponsors I have are the ones I’ve always, have had my whole life and I don’t think that will ever change.

I agree that privilege is clearly shown by how much access one has to literacy sponsors. Some of my biggest sponsors were also my family! If my parents hadn’t gotten me a phone at the age they did, I probably would have had much less sponsors than I do now.
