“emphasizes individual, rather than literacy”(Alexander 615).

“emphasizes literacy, rather than individual”(Alexander 615).

distinct hero narrative and not a success narrative is Goddu says:

 I would be sick for weeks at a time. A result from this is I would miss school, and this would cause me to have        anxiety attacks that would keep me out of school longer. I would just miss so much school. In the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade I missed over forty days each year. That’s a lot of time to be missing school. It got the point that teachers would send me lesson plans through email and I would have to self teach myself. But the thing is I managed to get through it. I passed all three of those years with honor roll and I made it high school(Goddu).

“emphasizes individual, rather than literacy…establishes self as hero of literacy story”(Alexander 615).

“I would constantly earn a ‘C’ on all of my ACF papers”(Davis).

“I did gain an extra sense of confidence in my work too”(Davis).

“These researchers have also shown how powerful this heroic identity is for students who consider themselves to be successful writers. In these narratives it is the traditional individualistic heroic attributes–perseverance, self-reliance, self-confidence–that allow them to triumph”(Williams 343).

“checked it out through her and then the rest was history. That was the first of many that I read. I was surprised to see myself thoroughly enjoying something that I had just assumed I hated”(Marcelino).

“views literacy as utilitarian and useful”(Alexander 615).

“Books were a motivation to get an achievement. Even if I did not like it, it was still an accomplishment to get it done”(Shine).

“Ben had a lot of trouble with the past and present words, so I came in to help him with that…My brother now looks at me like his role model and does a lot of the things I always liked to do.”(Geistikh).

“they do so by generalizing about literacy and its power of pointing to future success”(Alexander 617).

I believe these quotes are already formatted correctly.
