But in my case it was what kept me apart. I felt awkward among groups whose conversations
flowed in and out of Spanish. I’d be asked a question in Spanish and I’d have to answer in
English, knowing this raised a mountain of questions. I wanted to call myself Latina, to finally
take pride, but it felt like a lie. So I set out to learn the language that people assumed I already
knew." ]]> 2020-09-07 03:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724019269 ellemon https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724039765 2020-09-07 03:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724039765 ellemon https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724040708 2020-09-07 03:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724040708 ellemon https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724059500 2020-09-07 03:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724059500 ellemon https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724065192 In “Mother tongue” the author’s mother is looked down on for speaking spanish and having what society calls “broken english”. The author also grows and changes over time and realizes that her mother's english isn't broken, and that there are many different types of English.]]> 2020-09-07 03:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724065192 ellemon https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724067727 “Then came the backlash. During the two decades when I’d worked hard to isolate myself from the stereotype I’d constructed in my own head, society shifted. The nation changed its views on ethnic identity. College professors started teaching history through African American and Native American eyes. Children were told to forget about the melting pot and picture America as a multicolored quilt instead. Hyphens suddenly had muscle, and I was left wondering where I fit in.” ]]> 2020-09-07 03:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724067727 ellemon https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724071531 “I am a writer. And by that definition, I am someone who has always loved language. I am fascinated by language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language -- the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all -- all the Englishes I grew up with.”

-Amy Tan's repetition on embarrassment is used in a way to drive her main point to the audience. She mixes up her phrases by simply stating she is embarrassed or through imagery such as her 'red face" during her meeting between a banker and her moms broken english]]> 2020-09-07 04:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724110452 taylordegnan14 https://padlet.com/ellemon/lmtz22wignldknhj/wish/724119029 "The Spanish language.... held Latino community together like glue....But in my case it was what kept me apart"(2).

Barrientos explains how she was proud of not speaking Spanish until she was older and she uses smilies to emphasis the importance of language in her culture. She, along with Tan explain they felt alone or "left out" and emphasis it greatly.
