"How to Tame a Wild Tongue," by Gloria Anzualdua
There are study questions at the end of the Gloria Anzualdua essay, "How to Tame a Wild Tongue," which I'm asking you to read for Thursday. Here they are in a shorter form, along with some of mine. Think about them as you read.
1. If you do not read Spanish, how do you read this essay? Why does Anzualdua not translate most of the Spanish, do you think? If you do read Spanish, what are some of the obstacles she presents? How do you deal with them?
2. What are some of the significances of the languages Anzualdua speaks? Why does she use as her headnote: "Who is to say that robbing a people of its language is less violent than war?" (Ray Gwyn Smith)
3. What are some of the styles of writing that Anzualdua uses in her essay? Why does she write in so many different ways?
4. What is Anzualdua's argument? Where does she state it best?
