In this article, Brandt compares Raymond Branch and Dora Lopez’s literacy experiences. Brandt argues that race and class impact how much access people have to literacy sponsorship. Branch had access to his father who was a professor, his father’s science lab, his own computer, and other advance technology that his father worked with. Dora Lopez has access to her father who received an accounting degree at a local technical college, her mother who briefly attended technical college, a bookstore that her mother worked part-time at and held jobs that Dora held that allowed her access to computers. Long story short, although Branch and Lopez were both able to apply themselves in literacy development, it was a lot harder for Lopez to obtain a rich learning environment.
