Honestly
why is speaking with different identities wrong when I was a kid I was punished
just because I would speak slang. My mother thought it was a sign that she
raised me wrong, but it was just the way society was you would try to fit in.
Although in “Gloria Anzaldua’s” “How to
Tame a Wild Tongue” It was wrong, it is how ignorant people would talk. But as
she explains “Anzaldua is arguing for the ways in which identity is intertwined
with the way we speak and for the ways in which people can be made to feel
ashamed of their own tongues. Keeping hers wild – ignoring the closing of linguistic
borders – is anzaldua’s way of asserting identity.” In anzaldua’s point of view
it was her way of being herself. Now the point of view that “Jamila Lysicott”
is that “now you may think that it is ignorant to speak broken English”. The connection
I made between “Gloria Anzaldua” and “Jamila Lyiscott” is that whatever time
and wherever you are there is always is a negative connotation if you speak
differently, and or speak slang. You are looked upon as if you are an ignorant.
