I believe that the audience was the Chicano community, non-English speakers, and English speakers because she explains how many people can relate since English is not their first language and how Americans can understand the life and difficulties of immigrants and deal with them.

If the author only used English it would completely change the dynamic of the story. Gloria talks about making sure her language stays alive and plays a very important role in her story. It would defeat the purpose of showing the reader the struggle of trying to shift into a different language.

The target audience is non-English speakers, chicano community, and English speakers. I think her goal was to break down the barrier that language can cause.

The author uses the dentist metaphor to speak about her tongue and then compare this metaphor to how it is with her native language. When they mentioned her having to tame her tongue, it also ties with her having to stay quiet with her native language.

The audience is both non-English speakers and English speakers. She trying to relate to other people who dont speak English and grew up talking in their native language.She is also trying to tell the mainly English speakers her experience using her native language while living in the U.S while people expect her to talk English.

I feel like the message would be but not as strong or as powerful if they were to include Spanish/Chicano than just using English since it couldn't even correlate with Spanish/Chicano people that don't understand english

If the author were to only use English in the essay and not Spanish/ Chicano it would take away a lot from the story because we wouldn't be able to see how she switches from English to Spanish in her everyday life. I also think that the audience can relate to her code switching which makes her using Spanish/ Chicano in her story even more meaningful. Reading this story made me see that I am not the only one that code switches. Before reading this story I didn't even know code switching was an actual thing I thought I was just speaking Spanish "improperly".

I think that the author used this metaphor as an example because the education system is trying to teach kids to lose their accents.

I believe the audience is everyone. She uses examples and situations that many in the chicano community can relate to, and she also uses these examples to give some insight on that hardships that non-english speaker have to go through. Others are able to realize what they have to go through.

The essay would be different without the Spanish/chicano because if the author were only to use English it would take away from the purpose of trying to show the readers her struggle of the shift from native languages to others. The Spanish/chicano being included shows her still being in-touch with her native language.

I think that the audience is any group of people that their language is not primarily English.  This could include the Chicano community, non english speakers, and really any community that does not speak english.

I believe that the essay would change if it were to be only using English because the person speaking and or writing this story wouldn't know how to incorporate their full experience if their main language is Spanish. If they used only English I do believe that they would struggle when using only English. If the author used only Spanish, then the readers who chose to read this script then they would be able to relate to it and understand it for those who understand this native language. Although, for those who don't understand Spanish and only fully understood other languages it would be challenging to try and learn from this culture.

The author uses the dentist metaphor because the dentist is trying to tame the authors tongue or control what she says, like the education system was trying to tame the authors tongue by forcing her to learn English.

The author uses the dentist metaphor in the beginning as the dentist is saying angerly "I have never seen something so stubborn" to her tongue, she used that metaphor as if they were trying to silence her language. -Violeta B

If the essay was only in English then it wouldn't be as authentic because the whole plot of the story Gloria talks about keeping her language alive and making sure her native language is known. If the essay was just in English and not Spanish/Chicano then it would feel like she doesn't know much about her native language anymore or doesn't want to teach others about it. -Arnol H
