Though both men were raised in what can loosely be labeled “non-literate” environments, Rose and Akinnaso had different methods of becoming literate; and thus the attitudes towards those methods differ.  Compare and contrast the beliefs Rose and Akinnaso have towards their learning styles.  More specifically, was one view focused more on intrinsic/extrinsic values?  While Akinnaso emphasized a “keen sensitivity” (149) towards learning, would Rose feel the same way or differently?  Which method do you believe provides a stronger foundation for learning?
