BACA ESSAY

        Do  you know Jimmy Santiago Baca? Jimmy is a immigrant who for most of his life he fought to get every thing he has. When he went to prison, in there he learned to read through poems and also wrote poems in jail. Once he got out of jail he published most of his work starting with "Immigrants In Our Own Land." I feel that Jimmy's attitude towards life,learning, and prison changed once he learned to read and write in jail.

      Baca's attitude towards life changed greatly after he got out of prison. When he was younger his parents left him to fend for himself. Baca was lead to fighting people and selling drugs. His look on life before he went to prison for me was that we didn't really have a meaning and was just getting by and not pressuring something that would make a difference in the world. When he got out of prison he attitude towards life changed because he learned to read and reading is almost a pair of glasses because through reading we can see things from a different perspective then just ours.

     The attitude that Baca had towards learning was changed greatly after he got out of prison. Since he learned how to read in side of prison and started to read poetry and write his our it made him think differently of something he missed out on when he was younger. Baca didn't have much education when going in to jail but I feel that when he got out he was extremely grateful that he learned to read and write because it gave him another outlook on life. With reading I feel that it allows people to see into other peoples mindsets and understand where they are coming from on a certain topic.

     Baca has a different outlook on prison then most people do. He was sent to prison and instead of getting sad and down he used prison as a way to well learn to read and write. I fell that he thinks that it is a learning experience and a way to over come things that you cant really do in the outside world. Since he didn't learn how to read and write in school he learned to read and write inside of prison which would be really hard because it would he detracting.

   Baca's outlooks on life,learning and prison all changed while he was inside jail. He was a kid with nothing to really live for so he did his best to get buy which then lead him to get in jail. While in jail he finally learned how to read and write. Also he started reading and writing his own poetry and when he was released he published the poem "Immigrants in our own land." I feel that his experiences in jail made him step back and really find himself and what the true meaning of life and learning really was.
