Rodriguez’s work is articulate, thought provoking, and polarizing, to say the least, among admires and critics – and now students. A current student of Mr. Borofka’s English 1A class, Andrea, said that although she was able to relate to Rodriguez in a way – like Rodriguez, her parents were also from Mexico – and although she understood that you have to make sacrifices in order to be successful, she didn’t understand why Rodriguez seemingly pushed away his parents and family.
