How to tame a wild tongue
When analysing how to tame a wild tongue it is important to note the writer's background and where she comes from. She comes from a very diverse background; her parents were immigrants, she was born in south Texas, and she identifies herself as a lesbian Chicana feminist. The purpose of her writings was to "redefine minority identities" (77).Anzaldua opens the essay with an anecdote to help explain the purpose of the essay and the title of her Essay. This affects her audience by changing the intended idea of how a essay should start and change it to starting with an Anecdote. This decision relates to her appeal to ethos by establishing the ethical ideas of her purpose with taming her wild tongue. Without this anecdote, Anzaldua would have not have had as much established as she does with the anecdote.. That being said I found "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" is helpful in expressing not only how diversity affects the shaping of one's personal identity but also the importance of one's language.well,
