Gloria Anzaldua How to Tame a Wild Tongue I really enjoyed this particular essay‚ I thought that Anzaldua did an excellent job informing the reader about her struggles and how she refused to reject her culture for the sake of belonging.

I believe that Gloria Naylor’s article‚ “The Meanings of a Word” opens up the topic of personal experiences and how families will create their own meanings of words.
