    Comparison Between Enrique's Journey And Which Way Home

    While the book, which mainly spent effort on puzzling together a complete and continuous narrative, took measurements greatly on personal experiences, the film, which instead chose a camera, offered abundance in visual aids, perhaps also a little music. The very essence of both the book and the film is to draw forth positive emotions of the general population who can eventually benefit the child immigrants, at least in theory, by either relaxing the…

    Langlish By Richard Rodriguez Summary

    Spanish, formerly the language of his home and community, became taboo when “One Saturday morning [he] entered the kitchen where [his] parents were talking in Spanish… at the moment they saw [him], [he] heard their voices change to speak English”(22). Rodriguez continues to describe how his “throat twisted by unsounded grief” (22) and although he left, he knew he could not take Spanish with him. The distress, met with force and demands, only resulted in adults saying he must learn English. Yet when he does, Rodriguez feels as though “the special feeling of closeness at home was diminished” (24), and notes that “[They] remained a loving family, but one greatly changed. No longer so close” (24).…

    Lorna's Silence And Entre Nos Film Analysis

    The film portrays Mariana, the female protagonist’s quick fall into poverty with her two young children. Over the course of a summer, Mariana loses her apartment and is homeless and desperate to take care of her children. Her husband’s friends effectively avoid her and leave her isolated with no knowledge of English or means to support herself. Mariana’s story is about the lack of support single immigrant women receive in terms of housing, health, childcare, and employment services. The film also shows the undue burden that Mariana’s children pose to her. Childcare almost always falls on the backs of women, especially immigrant women. Her children are precious to her, but she has a harder time finding employment because she cannot leave her young children alone. This time in their lives is a transformative moment for the…

    Language In The Woman Warrior

    Being a native Spanish speaker, Rodriguez’s knows how there are multiple ways of speaking a language. Similar to how the Chinese have their language and talk stories. Rodriguez’s shares love through the power of language with his family. Since Rodriguez shares a certain language with his family at home he feels that, “It is not possible for a child-any-child-ever to use his family’s language in school. Not to understand this is to misunderstand the public uses of schooling and to trivialize the nature of intimate life-a family’s language”. To him he believed that at home he a specific language that he shared with his family and no one else would be able to understand it. At home he was able to share love with his family through their language. He was against using this type of language at school because you cannot teach this to other people as it is something that comes naturally. Also if this type of language was used it would take away from the intimate aspect it contained as it would no longer be secluded to just his family. Moreover the family rarely spoke any language that was not theirs. “By, contrast, English, rarely heard in the house, was the language I came to associate with gringos”. To him there is only one language that he knows. Because of this it also makes it hard to learn in school since he does not want to have is family…

    Unnamed

    In Mr. Rodríguez’s book he insists that his story not be generalized. He says, “Mistaken, the gullible reader will in sympathy or in anger take it that I intend to model my life as the typical Hispanic-American life. But I write of one life only. My own. If my story is true, I trust it will resonate with significance for other lives” (prologue). He clearly states on how his education led him from his child hood to his adult hood, and maturity. He also explained in his book on how his cultural heritage was slowly but surely fading away as time went by. Richard's family and relatives started to call him Pocho, a Spanish word that means an American who forgets their native language, because he no longer speaks Spanish with confidence. Many family members continue to speak to Richard in Spanish, even if they could speak English. This was because they wanted Richard to speak and know his native language. I can relate to him with this because in my immediate family we were raised to speak in Spanish and we are only to speak in Spanish, although they understand, and know how to speak English, they still decide to only speak Spanish at our house. As Richard way learning English he felt…
