Literacy narratives are effective forms of communicating one’s personal experience concerning their acquisition of literacy. When these narratives successfully portray shifts in identities, they indicate that a persevering hero has overcome the odds and achieved great feats in their literacy. Literacy is a concept that is highly evident in the life of every person in the world. Communication is highly difficult if a person has no knowledge in literacy, and an advanced literacy would prove highly beneficial in one’s life. Although I focus on the shift from victim to hero, there are numerous shifts in different identities that can happen with similar benefits with the same goal: achieving the highest level of literacy possible. The acquisition of literacy is a vital factor in the early development of people, and must be improved as much as possible so a person can effectively communicate with people around the world in the most easy way possible.
