Response to Bell Hook's Keeping Close to Home

Strong Family Values ​​In Bell Hux 's "Close to Home," she says that the American education system forces the students to conceal, change and hide the values ​​they had when they first entered college We proposed. This might apply to some students, but this idea does not apply to me personally. I do not agree with her words and have not changed since I entered Georgia University. The University of Georgia did not give me the pressure to change my values, because I had strong values ​​when I entered college, and today these values ​​apply to me as well.

I decided to evaluate excerpts from this "other beings". The choice "near the house: class and education" was written by Bell Hooks from her "speech" published in 1989. Hooks is an author of many other volumes, including feminist theory. ), "Illegal education: education as practice of freedom" (1994), "looting memory: artist's work" (1999). According to the existence of other people, Andrea A. Lunsford's coauthor, Hooks, is similar to other noteworthy writers Adrienne Rich and Mike Rose (93) as a similar view on education is "rejection practice" (93).

Bell Hooks' s article "Close to Home" describes her struggle after being accepted to further self-fulfillment at Stanford University. In this article, Hooks talked about her self-learning process, but never lost her feeling that she was a working class of African-American women. Hook's parents are hoping that she will go to a diverse school like Stanford, a school near her home. They want to let her go to school which is not near my house, but most people are black people. The biggest concern of her family is that her daughter changed her mind, lost her values, and contacted them. They know that the university has changed people. However, by visiting each year, we find a way to approach the house and there are times when we can not return home because there is no money to travel. Pleased or support her decision to go to Stanford University
