“Breaking the Mold: Paul as a Scholarship Boy in Richard Rodriguez’s ‘Hunger of Memory’”

This assignment rests entirely with your ability to discuss Paul from the 
vantage point of Rodriguez’s expanded Scholarship Boy model. You’ll 
want to take into account as well how race/ethnicity, social class, 
assimilation, and language work their ways into Paul’s plight, as he 
attempts to escape his social position, similar to how Rodriguez 
described in his own educational autobiography. And assume your 
reader is familiar with the works in order to avoid unnecessary summary 
in your body paragraphs. The focus, then, is the Scholarship Boy model 
and how Paul represents it
