ish... Understanding Identity Through Autobiography




How is this book a story of curriculum? Art? Critical literacy?
How does this book speak to identity, autobiography, and biography?
• What were Ramon’s beliefs about himself as an artist? Marisol’s? Leon’s?
• How did Ramon’s beliefs about himself change when he viewed Marisol’s gallery?
Consider Ramon’s statement about himself as an artist… what would he say about himself? What were his influences? What is he trying to say about meaning through his art?
