This semester, you read several memoirs, including pieces by Ernesto Galarza and
Russell Baker. Return to “Barrio Boy” and “No Gumption” now. How are these two
memoirs similar? How are they different? How do the authors use language to convey
their main messages to readers?
2. In Antigone, written by the ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles, the two main characters
are Antigone and Creon, the king of Thebes. Though these two characters are in conflict,
they are not entirely different. Compare and contrast the characters of Antigone and
Creon and explore how their actions help clarify the themes of this tragedy.

Answer 12

Answer key::::

Accept any answer in which your student explores the way in which both men recount
experiences they had as young boys. Both include a good deal of detail and paint a picture of a
situation they faced when they were younger. However, Baker uses a good deal of dialogue in
his story and injects his piece with much humor. Galarza, on the other hand, focuses instead on
the physical details of the world he grew up in. There is not a great deal of dialogue, and humor
is absent from his piece. Galarza’s reflective tone imbues his piece with the gratitude he feels.
Baker, on the other hand, is less reflective or prone to pondering. These contrasting styles are
appropriate when one considers that Galarza is describing a time that could have been quite
traumatic for him, while Baker is recounting a moment of personal discovery.
