Or else he expounds on a topic completely alien to the existential experience of the students. His task is to fill the students with contents of his narration-contents which are detached from reality, disconnected from the totality that endangered them and could give them significance" (Freire 216). "The banking approach to adult education, for example, will never propose to students that they critically consider reality" (Freire 218). By reading the previous language used by Freire you can sense his intense emotion in regard to the "failing" educational system for adults and youth alike. .
Based on the very short text titled "Reading" by Carson, I am not able to determine how she feels about the current educational system that is in place. However she does place value on nature and taking trips in the car while reading. "Some fathers hate to read but love to take the family on trips. Some children hate trips but love to read. Funny how often these find themselves passengers in the same automobile. I glanced at the stupendous clear-cut shoulders of the Rockies from between paragraphs of Madame Bovary. Cloud shadows roved languidly across her huge rock throat, traced her fir flanks" (Carson 142). Although Carson does not have a text entitled education, I do gather she likes to read and she uses wording to show her intellectuality throughout her text. Such vivid descriptions allow the reader to be able to have insight on exactly what she is seeing as she was riding down the road past the Rocky Mountains.
When comparing these two works it is easier to show the differences in the works then it is to show the similarities. Both authors elicit great emotion throughout their works. The first thing that you notice about each of the works by Anne Carlson and Paulo Freire is that the subject matter is different within both works. "Short Talks" is literally a list of different thoughts and emotions about unrelated objects and ideas.
