In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” Gloria Anzaldúa maintains the strong belief that Chicano people are, as expected, harsh on themselves due to their strict and forbidden upbringing and they will likely continue their refusal to conform to a particular set of biased guidelines—having been attributed to them by a cultural oppression—not through revolution but by communicating and connecting to the modern world around them.

From childhood transformations to language barriers, there is an undeniable truth that comes forth when it is time to allocate and solve problems during adulthood. Countless immigrant parents are severely strict towards their children’s upbringings for what seems to them to be righteous reasons and the results are absolutely incomparable, in contrast to the light dusting that Anzaldúa seems to push on about, regarding the linguistic tribulations in her essay; however, as many immigrant parents are undoubtedly deemed to be “stubborn,” it is because they, themselves, have most likely come from an even more strict and reprehensible environment, culture, heritage, regime, etc., yet, there are very few publications about their endeavors, however
