Summary Of How To Tame A Wild Tongue

Uniformity
There are a few writers that believe that if you are interested in what they write, one should be open to learning the style that they are writing in even if that means learning a different culture or dialect. Also a small percentage of students and teachers realize that as students, you have the right to express yourselves in whatever way you’re comfortable while writing formal essays. However, I believe that if writers expect their audience to understand their essay and in return receive a respectable grade from a professor, one should be capable of writing a formal essay in Academic Standard English. Having the ability to write in Standard Academic English will not only benefit students at a collegiate level, but also in their professional life.
For example, when people as customers have an issue with the service provided at their local grocery store, one might ask to speak to the supervisor looking for a solution for the poor customer service. When the

In “How To Tame a Wild Tongue” she gives in-depth detail on how as a society her identity was being shunned, even though she was outspoken and strong it was not until she realized that in order to communicate with different people from different walks of life she was going to need to code switch regularly. On how to tame a wild tongue, Gloria remarks “how do you tame a wild tongue, train it to be quiet,” (Anzaldua 143) she thinks of this while getting some teeth fixed at the dentist, because she literally had a wild tongue. Even though I can relate to Gloria’s essay, and I was able to understand her essay in which she writes in standard academic English and in different dialects of Spanish; I strongly feel that a higher percentage of people reading this essay would find it challenging to

    In the essay “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” Gloria Anzaldúa talks about her experience struggling with her identity growing up as a Chicana living in the United States. Her experience also relates to many other Latinos living in the United States who struggled to find their place in society and a language to speak freely without feeling fear and embarrassment afterwards. She talks about how throughout her life the language she used was suppressed in various ways and forms as she was forced to assimilate to the dominant English language.

    Unlike Rodriguez, Anzaldúa didn’t let her voice be controlled by those around her. Throughout her life important figures such as teachers have tried repeatedly to silence her Spanish speaking tongue but she wouldn’t let it happen because it was her identity. For example, when Anzaldúa was in grade school the teachers would “give her three licks on the knuckles with a sharp ruler” (411) for speaking Spanish. By using the ruler, the teachers wanted to fear and pain to be a reminder for Anzaldúa to not speak in Spanish. When Anzaldúa was teaching high school English, she would try mix in texts that the students could relate to, but the principal threatened to fire her if she kept doing it (416).…

    I am certain that no teacher in any setting wants a paper turned into them that is written in Ebonics or any other dialect other than proper English. I made a point in my initial posting stating that Ebonics should not be ignored however when writing it is important to understand to utilize proper English. Yes, it is our job as teachers to encourage this, but we must take into consideration what day and age we are in as well. My first day in a college English class we had to write a paper and peer review it. I read someone’s paper and at one point they wrote “LOL.”…

    Whether you like it or not, society is always going to have something to say about anything and everything, and this can negatively affect a group of people. This is just a part of living in a society where people can share their opinions. The funny part is that society can have absolutely no idea about what they’re talking about, but still make comments based on how they feel about something the know nothing about. For example, when many people see homeless men on the streets, they most likely think that the person is either an alcoholic or a drug addict, but instead they could be homeless from a fire, divorce, or dead family member. This causes homeless people to be looked at as less than human.…

    Taming Nativity The excerpt, “Wild tongues can’t be tamed, they can only be cut out,” from the essay, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue,” by Gloria Anzaldua helps convey the idea of how American cultural imperialism forces Chicanos to abandon their culture and heritage and assimilate into the American way of life. Gloria Anzaldua, a sixth-generation Mexican-American, grew up in Texas 's segregated educational system in 1949, where she experienced discrimination and judgement because of her native language. In her essay Anzaldua shares first hand experience of the internal and external struggle Chicanos face everyday in this country because of the ambiguity in their cultural identification.…

    The second essay I was asked to write was a research proposal essay. The research proposal essay was a formal memorandum asking permission from our instructor to use a chosen thesis. I like everyone else in the class titled it “Memorandum.” My chosen topic was about the nursing shortage and how it is a serious crisis that needs to be focused on. I chose to write about this topic because I will someday be going into this field and I don't want to suffer from the effects of a nursing shortage, so by telling even just a few people more attention will be brought to the subject.…

    In high-school, one is told what to write about and have to follow a certain type of rubric. When a teacher will usually assign an essay that will be about 2-3 pages long, with an introduction, body, and conclusion. In college, students are supposed to write in a different manner.

    It is good to see that an increasing number of protests spread nationwide every year because people increasingly become aware of the necessity of speaking out. However, some people still keep silent when injustices happen. In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, Gloria Anzaldua, a Chicana author, writes about the partial judgment on her accents when she speaks English, but she feels proud of her mother language, Chicano Spanish, because she realizes that her mother tongue is her distinctive identity. Also, she encourages her chicano friends to keep their identities. Likewise, in “To the Lady”, Mitsuye Yamada, a Japanese American poet and activist, writes to a lady in San Francisco and claims that the consequence of people not protesting when injustice…

    Before ENG 202, which was my first college-level English class, my general conception of “English” as an academic discipline was different. For instance, prior to this my general conception of “English” essentially revolved around reading and writing comprehension skills. In fact, in high school I spent a lot of time analyzing different forms of text like novels, poems, and photos, and then writing about them. When analyzing these texts the teacher had us focus more on theme, tone, and figurative language than anything else. Besides this there were a few times that we focused on the author’s writing style.…

    The standard English style is easy to follow and flows easily. It keeps with the main idea of the subject and stands out above the plain English style. The plain English style does keep up with the subject but with all the terminology and wordiness makes the ability to follow more difficult. The plain English style has more words making it longer which can be a deterrent to an average reader.…
