Synthesis Paper (2 texts)

The two texts that I decide doing my synthesis paper on is the story “Learning the Language” and the movie “Glory Road”. They both have similarities and differences even though they are both different type of texts. The similarities that “Learning the Language” and “Glory Road” have is that they both succeed in what they are doing. Glory Road succeeds by becoming the first Division I NCAA basketball team to start five black players. It was a big thing back then because it was during the time of racism and everybody was known as white players starting and playing the game of basketball. Learning the Language was a story of a family that only knew how to speak Spanish. They live in the United States so they had a hard time to speak English. The little boy was ashamed on how their parents try to speak English. The similarities of both texts are that they both had to work hard to get where they want to be at. The family had to work hard just to try to speak dissent English to communicate in public. The differences are that the both texts succeed differently. The other differences is how the boy from “Learning the Language” is ashamed of his parents on how they spoke English and the coach from “Glory Road” was not ashamed to start five black guys.
