Languages
Language is the method used by humans to communicate. There are different languages in the world, and even within those languages, there are also different versions of the same language. For Example: Spanish and English are two different languages, but within those languages there are different versions of themselves that differentiate according to the region where that language is spoken. The accents vary and even some slang words. That doesn't stop there because even if you speak one language, you speak it in different tones. For example: When one is at school, one tries to speak in a more professional manner than usual, compared to the way one speaks when spending time with friends. Just like Gloria Anzaldua states "we speak many languages", meaning we speak the same language but change the tone depending with who we talk to. Jamila Lysicott seems to agree by stating that she speaks english in 3 different ways. She explains how she uses one language for each: Home, friends and School.
