Alexie & my literacy narrative

After reading the Alexie piece, I have thought of two angles I could take for my literacy narrative, both being slightly similar to Alexie's. Alexie was considered an outcast because of his Indian heritage, and was stereotyped as being unintelligent at a very young age. My experience from my youth is not nearly as dramatic as Alexie's, but it still reminded me of a time in kindergarden when a boy at my table told me "You can't read Emily, you can't do anything." Ahh, the things I had to face as an innocent 6 year old. Don't worry, I proved him wrong the next day when I brought in my book and read it to the class. I could also take the more sentimental angle and talk about a book my dad read to my sister and I every night before we went to bed. I remembered this because Alexie shared how he loved reading because his father loved to read, and he looked up to him more than anything. I loved when my dad read me this book and I always looked forward to it!
