In the “A Boy and His Wall,” Ralph Cintron mainly
focuses on a different metaphor, which is the wall acting as
both a hurdle and space through which imagination can display
a desire as well as protect the self. The walls Cintron assesses
belongs to Valerio Martinez, who is a teenager, which imitated
the way Valerio was both restrained in his social and
socioeconomic veracity by selecting to signify himself past
those constraints (Cintron, 1997).
Ralph analyses an educational system that is trapped
within a model that mainly attempts to establish and sort
learners purely based on the de-contextualized testing
performance that normally benefit specific bodies and types of
knowledge. Moreover, this associate back to the discourse of
truth and lies since individuals tend to often endorse medical
and educational authorities as truth despite the existing social
acknowledgment that Othering is majorly built. About this
particular circumstance, Othering happens via the diagnosis

3. depicting that LD might be minimal within the examined subject
and more within the social and political contexts where testing
is majorly done (Cintron, 1997). Moreover, this scenario leads
typically to the creation of a vicious cycle of failure since
Valerio had struggled due to the underlying constraints as well
as the values of the classroom.
According to Ralph, LD tests identified this very struggle,
and assert that it can only be sorted through therapy and
tutoring in a bid to be integrated back into the actual
mainstream classroom as well as the mainstream ideology of the
education (Lynch et al., 2015). Thus, instead of altering the
system, students themselves are anticipated to change, and since
they are powerless against a system that provides them with no
alternative, they are obliged to adhere to the changes in the
education system. Consequently, Valerio’s bedroom walls
became a central space where he could correspond to himself
even though hyperbolically in ways mainly imagined a diverse
life.
Cintron also focuses on the gangs in a bid to explore the
way hyperbolic images are typically performed and embodied.
Moreover, the cars are brightly painted and perfectly maintained
while the clothes and hairstyles are cautiously constructed.
These kinds of painting mainly represent the ways that the
prevailing community members strive to pass via their
respective socioeconomic as well as material realities in a bid to
perform an identity that they can easily control (Lynch et al.,
2015). Cleanliness was also deemed as a performance of this
particular control since it bright display in the existing public
space serves to conceal the raggedy as well as the decay within
the underlying private area.
