Se Habla Espanol by Tanya Barrientos was about a Latina girl who struggled with her identity. She was born in Guatemala but has lived in America since she was three years old. In the beginning she was somewhat embarrassed by her Hispanic heritage. Tanya felt inferior to the white people because of how she looked and because of her last name. The tone of the essay was a serious and desperate cry for help. It seemed she was speaking to anyone who could listen and relate to her. Tanya wrote from her point of view and how she felt like a “gringa” trapped in a Latina girl’s body.…
In Se Habla Espanol by Tanya Barrientos presents a memoir of a women who was born in Guatemalan and was brought to United States at the age of three. She was having difficulty on identifying herself in her native culture.

These authors described how Americans were not culturally tolerant, when foreigners would come to their country, they expect the foreigners to leave their culture and adapt American cultures but is pretty selfish of them, and also they would judge people by their color and their culture, which is pretty racist.

Both essays are memoirs describing how Cisneros and Tan became writers. In Cisneros “Only Daughter,” her father refers to her only daughter as one of his sons. “I have seven sons. He meant siete hijos, seven children, but he translated it as sons. He didn’t mean anything by that mistranslation, I’m sure. But somehow I could feel myself being erased” (112-113). In this anecdote Cisneros describes how the language shaped her in wanting to get the approval of her father. In Tan’s, “Mother Tongue,” she talks about a political gangster who had the same last name as her family and wanted her family to adopt him. The gangster became powerful and one day showed up at her mother’s wedding. Part of what her mom said, “Now important person very hard to invite him. Chinese way, come only to show respect, don’t stay for dinner. Respect for making big celebration, he shows up. Means gives lots of respect” (467). In this flashback Tan describes how her mother’s “broken language” helps her develop her language into the writer she…

My own understanding of la facultad is an instinct reaction that we used for protect ourselves from threat or unknown. For example, people will freak out when they see a person who act wired in the bank because this person look like a robber. Something we don’t know will lead us into a situation that we try to comfort ourselves by unconscious action. Rios illustrates this concept in "Translating Translation" by the stories that he states in his essay. First story is his mom wanted the kitchen to be yellow and she said limon to those Mexican workers.…
Vicente Flores did not pass the assessment. He scored 60% for the objective part and 66% for the performance portion. His cumulative score was 64%. In order for Vicente to demonstrate content knowledge, the assessment has to be modified to meet his needs. The objective portion can be modified by simplifying language, and reading the test to the student.. The complete assessment can be modified by allowing Vicente Flores to use vocabulary cards with the meaning of each figurative language during the test. For the second portion, the teacher can allow Vicente to come up with the examples orally, instead of in writing. She can also read each item and explain the directions in simpler terms to allow him to fully understand what is asked.…
This book is capable of influencing individuals to become who they wish to be and not what others expect of them. We all have a collective struggle, when we are reading literature. The author should be commended for his ability to write such a beautiful piece of literature during such hard times. Rudolf Anaya was able to capture the full essence of a moral identity crisis and help the readers better understand their own meaning in life. A weakness in the book is that there is not a glossary to translate the slang Spanish words, and overall Spanish words for the non-Spanish speakers. I believe it is important that readers could refer to the same book to be able to find out what a specific word means. Instead readers are left with the task of going to look for an external source to define specific words. We have “Jesus, María y José” for example, that is a slang expression for a moment of…

At City Fresh Foods Glynn Lloyd relies on withhold and uphold strategy the most out of the five communication strategies in Figure 11.3. Lloyd’s also includes tell and sell strategy at City Fresh. The logistics manager, Kurt Stegenga states that the English classes was a bit much so they teach limited and key languages of City Fresh Foods such as “delivery ticket, check-out sheet and ice packs” (p. 326). “I spend a little extra time trying to help them read what they need to know (p. 326). At City Fresh Foods, the multilingual employees learn key terms such as “safe and out” and even the English alphabet by watch Sesame Street as noted in this case. Training material is visual so that at City Fresh Foods the employees can duplicate work efforts by visually looking at examples of how to do their jobs; it’s the hands on approach, “A demonstration is better than words, says Lloyd” (p. 326).…
walked into the first class that I have ever took and confronted chaos. The four students in my Spanish class were engaged in a heated spitball battle. They were all following the lead of Andrew, a tall eleven-year-old African-American boy. Andrew turned to me and said, "Why are we learning Spanish if no one speaks it? This a waste of time."…
