In “The Fourth of July” by Audre Lorde, I feel the authors viewpoint on education in her excerpt was to educate the readers on their history on equal rights and racism. In “Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris, the authors viewpoint on education was never let age stop you from further your educational career. Overall, both authors viewpoint was no matter what age you should always know little things to further your education — from 10 years about racism to 41 years old trying to obtain a college degree.
