"How to Tame a Wild Tongue," by Gloria Anzaldúa by Eva M Flores https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas RESPOND TO ONE OF THE QUESTIONS USING THE "+". en-us 2022-11-04 17:33:52 UTC 2025-10-01 18:36:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370514667 hi]]> 2022-11-04 18:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370514667 https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370519001 It would change the way she presents herself in her story. I think her using the way she speaks in her stories was a good idea because it shows her frustration and how she doesn't want to just speak English but she wants to use her native langue.

It is good to have classes to improve another language beside the native language, but there shouldn't be any force.

They wanted to have freedom of speech so they can speak their native language when and wherever they want. They were being controlled by Americans telling them to speak English because they could not understand what they were saying.

The story would feel less complicated as I was not able to read some parts of the story. It would be easier to read too and the audience would get a greater feel for the essay. -Joshua Yoon https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370521076 2022-11-04 18:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370521076 The essay would change if the author were to use only english in the essay and not spanish/chicano by not truly showing the importance of her culture and by her using the spanish/chicano language, it is more believed that she is truly aprt of the chicano community and involved in her culture. https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370522194 - Tyler Reddington]]> 2022-11-04 18:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370522194 https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370522332 The audience is any group of people who's first language is not English.  This would include the chicano community, non-english speakers, and any individual who does not know the English language.  This is because they can all relate with each other, as well as going through the same hardships.

We wouldn't see her switching languages in her daily life. What I think is that she just wants to use her native language during the story -nick]]> 2022-11-04 18:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370523227 https://padlet.com/mfloreseva34/9bd6023sgc2ptqas/wish/2370524285 I think that when the author wrote in Spanish he thought of Chicanos but if he had written only in English I think she would be talking with Americans and not with Chicanos because I think that what he wanted to make clear in the essay is what Chicanos suffer for the Americans and I wanted to speak or have an audience with both communities to see the needs of the Chicanos and make the Americans understand that the Chicanos are also important, if she had spoken in English I think it would be understood as just an essay on the Chicanos and it would not show anything that will help that Spanish is also a language and that not only English is spoken in the United States.

So with the dentist saying that he will need to control her tongue, it is really saying that she shouldn't speak her native language and only speak English.

They shouldn't be ashamed of who they are or let anyone dominate their mother tongue, or his language, by speaking it.
