Ben Robertson’s voice as “ambivalent,”

Lacey Ford characterizes Ben Robertson’s voice as “ambivalent,” but in Lemon Swamp, just as we have a more straight-forward structure to the memoir, we also hear a more direct and defiant voice, a voice of protest. Fields’ pedagogical stance, in particular, is well-defined and guides the narrative. Choose a moment of or about education in the memoir and show how this moment relates to larger themes explored in the text.
